立陶宛内政部长马尔蒂纳斯·凯特利纳斯周三表示，立陶宛正寻求将协助边防部队的军事人员在其与俄罗斯边境的部署延长至11月初，立陶宛公共广播公司LRT报道。
Lithuania is seeking to extend the deployment of military personnel assisting border guards along its border with Russia until early November, Interior Minister Martynas Katelynas said Wednesday, according to Lithuanian public broadcaster LRT.
凯特利纳斯周二曾联系国防部长罗伯塔斯·考纳斯，请求延长加强边境安全措施并让部队参与其中。
Katelynas said he contacted Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas on Tuesday to request an extension of the strengthened border security measures and the involvement of troops.
“我相信决定很快就会做出。协议原本是让军队部署至10月16日，所以我希望能延长至11月初，”他对记者说。
“I believe a decision will be made soon. The agreement was for the military to be deployed until October 16, so I hope it will be extended until the beginning of November,” he told reporters.
立陶宛军队已派出约100名士兵协助国家边境警卫队确保与俄罗斯的边境安全。
The Lithuanian military has assigned about 100 troops to help the State Border Guard Service secure the border with Russia.
凯特利纳斯表示，目前尚未请求增派部队，但人数可根据边防部队的需求进行调整。
Katelynas said no additional troops had been requested so far, but the number could be adjusted according to the border guards’ needs.
“这个数字不是一成不变的，”他说，并补充称边境官员将评估是否需要60、80或100名士兵，并与国防部和军方领导协调。
“The number is not set in stone,” he said, adding that border officials would assess whether 60, 80, or 100 troops were needed and coordinate with the Defense Ministry and military leadership.
凯特利纳斯此前曾将此次部署描述为一种预防性措施，这一措施是基于公开的非情报信息而启动的，这些信息显示俄罗斯正在策划军事动员。
Katelynas previously described the deployment as a preventive measure prompted by publicly available, nonintelligence information suggesting Russia was planning a military mobilization.
他表示，边境威胁等级并未上升，但预计可能会有人试图前往立陶宛寻求庇护以逃避兵役。
He said the threat level along the border had not increased but expected that people might try to seek asylum in Lithuania to avoid military service.
立陶宛军队表示，各机构之间加强边境安全的合作是常规操作，有助于确保联合任务有效开展。士兵们正在边防哨所周边地区与边境官员一起进行巡逻。
The Lithuanian military has said cooperation between institutions to strengthen border security is routine and helps ensure that joint tasks are carried out effectively. Troops are patrolling areas around border guard stations alongside border officials.
根据作战需求，军队还可能部署机动巡逻、机动观察哨和军警小组。
Depending on operational needs, the military may also deploy mobile patrols, mobile observation posts, and military police crews.
