By Milda Seputyte立陶宛已派遣约100名军队到其与俄罗斯加里宁格勒飞地的边境,以应对可能涌入的逃避新动员令的俄罗斯公民,立陶宛国防部长罗贝尔塔斯·卡乌纳斯表示。

Lithuania has deployed around 100 troops to its border with the Russia’s exclave of Kaliningrad, bracing for a potential influx of Russians fleeing a new mobilization, Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas said.

“这对所有人都是显而易见的——包括在公众领域——俄罗斯正在计划动员,”卡乌纳斯星期四在公共广播电台LRT表示。“我们希望在边境提供最大限度的保护。”这一决定反映了波罗的海地区日益担忧普京总统可能下令对其在乌克兰的战争进行大规模新动员,引发普通俄罗斯公民被征兵的焦虑情绪。

“It is evident to everyone — including in the public sphere — that mobilization is being planned in Russia,” Kaunas told public broadcaster LRT Thursday. “We want to ensure maximum protection at the border.”The decision reflects growing concern in the Baltic region that President Vladimir Putin may order a massive new mobilization for his war in Ukraine, stoking anxiety among ordinary Russians about being drafted into the army.

卡乌纳斯表示,俄罗斯公民可能会从加里宁格勒前往波兰或立陶宛,该地夹在两个欧盟成员国之间,临近波罗的海。“我们必须管理我们的安全,”他说。

Kaunas said Russian citizens might head to Poland or Lithuania from Kaliningrad, which is wedged between the two European Union member states on the Baltic Sea. “We must manage our security,” he said.

据卡乌纳斯介绍,军队于星期三晚部署,将至少维持两周,作为“预防措施”。内政部长马尔塔纳斯·卡泰利纳斯表示,边境局势仍然平静。

The troops were deployed late Wednesday for at least two weeks as “a preventive measure,” according to Kaunas. The situation at the border remains calm, Internal Affairs Minister Martynas Katelynas said.

另外,爱沙尼亚表示,如果动员发生,准备关闭其边境,并警告其俄罗斯裔居民不要前往俄罗斯,因为担心他们可能被征兵。

Separately, Estonia said it was prepared to close its border if mobilization occurs, and warned its Russian-speaking residents against traveling to Russia out of concern they could be conscripted.

克里姆林宫多次试图缓解对动员的担忧。上个月,普京称动员警告“完全是胡说八道”,是西方针对俄罗斯的信息战。“人们正自愿签订合同,”他在符拉迪沃斯托克表示。

The Kremlin has repeatedly tamped down concerns over a call up. Putin last month called warnings of a post-election mobilization “complete nonsense” and part of a western information campaign against Russia. “People are coming forward voluntarily andg contracts,” he said in Vladivostok.

立陶宛的决定还受到邻国拉脱维亚非法移民激增的推动,边境事件已将其人数推至近史记录水平。

Lithuania’s decision was also prompted by a surge in irregular migration in neighboring Latvia, where border incidents have pushed their numbers close to record levels.

据拉脱维亚国家武装力表示,一组至少20名非法移民,由蒙面护卫人员带领,本周早些时候试图越过拉脱维亚-白俄罗斯边境。武装走私分子威胁士兵,怂恿并推动移民前往拉脱维亚。

A group of at least 20 irregular migrants, led by masked escorts, tried to cross the Latvian-Belarusian border earlier this week, according to Latvia’s National Armed Forces. Armed smugglers threatened soldiers, urging and pushing the migrants toward Latvia.

在另一起事件中,蒙面人也闯入拉脱维亚境内,破坏了一个电力分配板并窃取了视频摄像机,但在边防警察到达之前撤退到白俄罗斯。

In a separate incident, masked individuals also entered Latvian territory, damaged an electricity distribution board and stole video cameras, but retreated to Belarus before border guards arrived.

来自白俄罗斯的非法越境人数激增也促使波兰在立陶宛-波兰边境重新实施边境管制措施,尽管这违背了申根自由旅行区的原则。

The surge in undocumented crossings from Belarus has also prompted Poland to reinstate controls at the Lithuanian-Polish border, despite the Schengen free-travel zone.
