A group of Lithuanian lawmakers has officially proposed a change to the constitution to remove the current ban on hosting nuclear weapons and foreign military bases in the country.

一群立陶宛國會議員正式提議修改憲法，以取消目前禁止在國內部署核武與外國軍事基地的禁令。

The proposal aims to cancel Article 137 of the Lithuanian Constitution. This move is supported by 51 members of parliament and follows an agreement between President Gitanas Nauseda and political leaders, who believe the current restriction is outdated. The government emphasizes that the current security situation requires the removal of these limits to stay aligned with NATO allies, pointing to Finland's recent policy changes as an example. If the amendment is accepted, it will need two separate approvals from at least 94 parliamentarians, with a three-month gap between the votes.

該提案旨在廢除立陶宛憲法第 137 條。此舉得到了 51 名國會議員的支持，並是在總統 Gitanas Nauseda 與政治領袖達成協議後提出的，他們認為目前的限制已過時。政府強調，當前的安全局勢要求取消這些限制，以保持與 NATO 盟友一致，並以芬蘭最近的政策變更為例。如果修訂案被採納，將需要至少 94 名國會議員在兩次獨立投票中通過，且兩次投票之間需間隔三個月。

These strategic changes are linked to reports that the United States is considering increasing nuclear deployments on NATO's eastern side, as well as a proposal from French President Emmanuel Macron to create a European nuclear defense system. While the Lithuanian government asserts that this legal change would not break the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Speaker Juozas Olekas clarified that the state does not plan to host nuclear weapons during peacetime. Furthermore, Rear Admiral Giedrius Premeneckas indicated that the Kaliningrad region would not be ignored in potential military operations if a conflict occurs.

這些戰略變更與有報告指美國正考慮增加在 NATO 東翼的核部署有關，以及法國總統 Emmanuel Macron 提議建立歐洲核防禦系統的建議。雖然立陶宛政府堅稱此法律變更不會違反《核不擴散條約》，但議長 Juozas Olekas 澄清，該國在和平時期不計劃部署核武。此外，海軍少將 Giedrius Premeneckas 指出，如果發生衝突，潛在的軍事行動將不會忽略加里寧格勒地區。

On the other hand, Russia has described these developments as a provocative military buildup. Moscow has dismissed claims of a Russian threat as baseless and stated that placing NATO nuclear infrastructure near its borders would be seen as a direct military threat, which would require a response. Despite these tensions, Russian officials have claimed they remain open to diplomatic talks, provided that such discussions happen on equal terms.

另一方面，俄羅斯將這些發展描述為挑釁性的軍備競賽。莫斯科否認關於俄羅斯威脅的說法毫無根據，並表示在邊境附近部署 NATO 核設施將被視為直接軍事威脅，必須採取回應。儘管緊張局勢持續，俄羅斯官員聲稱，只要對話在平等條件下進行，他們仍對外交談持開放態度。

Lithuania is currently working to remove its nuclear weapons ban to strengthen its defense within NATO, even as tensions and accusations with Russia continue.

立陶宛目前正致力於取消核武禁令，以加強其在 NATO 內部的防禦，儘管與俄羅斯的緊張局勢與相互指責仍在持續。
