纽约——立陶宛总统吉塔纳斯·瑙塞达周一透露，他曾亲自恳求唐纳德·特朗普总统维持美军在北约东翼的部署，目前华盛顿正在评估其在欧洲的军事存在规模。
与此同时，俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争已持续超过4年半，这引发了人们对莫斯科将在欧洲大陆推进到何种程度的质疑。
瑙塞达在纽约联合国大会间隙举行的总统韧性商业论坛上，接受福克斯新闻数字频道主持的炉边谈话时表示，立陶宛准备为美军留在该地区提供“非常慷慨的东道国支持”。
“我亲自给总统寄了两封信，”瑙塞达在谈到保留美军驻军的诉求时说道。

五角大楼已经开始缩减欧洲的部分驻军和军事能力，而目前正在审议的可选方案可能会再撤走数万名美军士兵。
此次评估是五角大楼更广泛战略的一部分，该战略旨在将欧洲常规防御的主要责任转移给欧洲盟友，同时保留美国更为有限的角色。但华盛顿也已暗示，其撤军计划可能并非一刀切：特朗普上周表示，美国在波兰建立永久陆军基地的进展顺利，波兰是北约军费支出最高的成员国之一。
这使得北约前沿盟友试图弄清楚，在美国出台的新战略中，它们将扮演何种角色。该战略要求美国在欧洲的整体角色缩小，同时深化与华盛顿认为承担更多军费负担的国家的关系。
此次评估出台之际，正值俄罗斯与乌克兰的战争日益波及北约领土。
情报警告：俄罗斯正准备对北约东翼发动混合攻击
上周，北约战机击落了一架从白俄罗斯飞入立陶宛领空的无人机，立陶宛亲身经历了这一威胁。瑙塞达随后表示，这架飞机很可能属于俄罗斯，原本计划袭击乌克兰，随后偏离了航线。
立陶宛情报部门警告称，尽管俄军在乌克兰遭受损失，但俄罗斯已在北约东部边境附近重建军事能力。
立陶宛2026年国家威胁评估报告显示，乌克兰的停火或冻结冲突可能会加速这一军事 buildup，使莫斯科能够将更多部队和装备调回波罗的海国家附近的永久基地，并补充战争期间耗尽的武器和弹药。
在这种情况下，立陶宛情报部门评估认为，俄罗斯最终可能会发展出足够的能力，对波罗的海国家发动军事行动，并在北约全面回应之前争取初步的地区优势。
当被问及如果明天达成停火，北约还有多少应对时间时，瑙塞达拒绝给出具体的威胁时间线，但警告称“俄罗斯的停火可能意味着”寻找新的目标。

他表示，莫斯科最终是否会考验北约，很大程度上取决于该联盟加强威慑的能力，以及证明其能够保卫东翼的决心。
瑙塞达对近期开启和平谈判的前景表示怀疑，他称“目前俄罗斯尚未准备好开始和平谈判”。
相反，他表示莫斯科似乎打算利用即将到来的冬季，通过袭击乌克兰的能源基础设施、恶化平民生活条件来向基辅施压。
“冬天就要来了。俄罗斯非常清楚应该袭击哪里，他们首先会瞄准能源基础设施，”瑙塞达说道，他将这些袭击描述为旨在让乌克兰的生活条件尽可能艰难，向乌克兰领导层施压以使其做出让步。
“就目前而言，我看不到任何谈判基础，”他补充道，称谈判“可能明年”才有实现的可能。
能源基础设施面临的威胁对瑙塞达来说尤为切身，他在发表上述言论之际，立陶宛正纪念其多年来摆脱俄罗斯能源压力的努力又迈出了新的一步。
瑙塞达表示，立陶宛本周在其纽约之行期间，与美国天然气生产商EQT公司签署了新的长期天然气协议。立陶宛自2017年开始进口美国液化天然气，目前约70%的液化天然气来自美国。
在周一的论坛上，立陶宛能源公司Ignitis与美国EQT公司签署了新的长期液化天然气协议。
瑙塞达表示，立陶宛推动能源独立的动力，源于多年来莫斯科利用该国对俄罗斯能源的依赖作为政治杠杆的经历。

“我们的历史表明，俄罗斯一直利用我们的依赖来谋取自身利益，”瑙塞达说道。
瑙塞达强调，立陶宛也在增加自身的国防开支，称该国将国内生产总值的5.4%用于国防，同时正在组建一个国民师，并准备在2027年底前接待一个完整的德国旅。

他表示，立陶宛情报部门曾定期警告俄罗斯可能袭击立陶宛关键基础设施的风险，这促使该国采取了额外措施来保护能源和其他战略资产。

NEW YORK — Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda revealed Monday he personally pleaded with President Donald Trump to maintain U.S. forces on NATO’s eastern flank as Washington reviews its military footprint in Europe.
Meanwhile, Russia’s war in Ukraine has raged on for more than 4½ years and raised questions about how far Moscow will push into the continent.
Nausėda said during remarks at a fireside chat moderated by Fox News Digital at the Presidential Business Forum on Resilience on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly New York that Lithuania is prepared to provide “very generous host nation support” for American forces to remain in the region.
“I personally sent two letters to the president,” Nausėda said of the plea to keep an American troops’ presence.

The Pentagon has already begun scaling back some forces and capabilities in Europe, while reported options under review could remove tens of thousands more troops.
The review is part of a broader Pentagon strategy to shift primary responsibility for Europe’s conventional defense onto European allies, while reserving a more limited U.S. role. But Washington has also signaled that its retrenchment may not be uniform: Trump said last week that the U.S. was making progress toward a permanent Army base in Poland, one of NATO’s highest-spending members.
That has left frontline allies trying to determine where they fit in with an emerging U.S. strategy that calls for a smaller overall role in Europe while deepening ties with countries Washington views as carrying more of the burden.
The review also comes as Russia’s war with Ukraine has increasingly spilled into NATO territory.
RUSSIA PREPARING HYBRID ATTACKS ON NATO’S EASTERN FLANK, INTELLIGENCE WARNS
Lithuania experienced that threat firsthand last week when NATO fighters shot down a drone that crossed into Lithuanian airspace from Belarus. Nausėda later said the aircraft was likely Russian and intended for an attack on Ukraine before veering off course.
The country’s intelligence services warn that Russia is already rebuilding military capabilities near NATO’s eastern borders despite its losses in Ukraine.
Lithuania’s 2026 National Threat Assessment found that a ceasefire or frozen conflict in Ukraine could accelerate that buildup, allowing Moscow to move more troops and equipment back toward permanent bases near the Baltic States and replenish weapons and ammunition depleted during the war.
In that scenario, Lithuanian intelligence assessed Russia could eventually develop enough capability to launch military action against the Baltics and seek an initial regional advantage before NATO could fully respond.
Asked how much time NATO would have if a ceasefire were reached tomorrow, Nausėda declined to put a timeline on the threat but warned that “a ceasefire for Russia may mean” looking for new targets.

He said whether Moscow ultimately tests NATO would depend largely on the alliance’s ability to strengthen its deterrence and demonstrate that it can defend its eastern flank.
Nausėda cast doubt on the prospect of near-term peace talks, saying that “for the time being, Russia is not ready to start the peace negotiations.”
Instead, he said Moscow appears intent on using the approaching winter to increase pressure on Kyiv by striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and worsening conditions for civilians.
“The winter is coming. Russia knows very well where they should target, and they will target energy infrastructure first of all,” Nausėda said, describing the attacks as an effort to make living conditions in Ukraine as difficult as possible and pressure its leadership toward concessions.
“For these negotiations, I don’t see any ground, at least right now,” he said, adding that talks could become possible “maybe next year.”
The threat to energy infrastructure was particularly resonant for Nausėda, who spoke as Lithuania marked another step in its yearslong effort to insulate itself from energy pressure from Moscow.
Lithuania, marking a new long-term natural gas agreement with U.S. natural gas producer EQT Corp. this week during the president’s trip to New York, began importing U.S. LNG in 2017 and now gets roughly 70% of its LNG from the United States, Nausėda said.
During Monday’s forum, Lithuanian energy company Ignitis signed a new long-term LNG agreement with U.S.-based EQT Corp.
Nausėda said Lithuania’s push for energy independence was shaped by years of experience with Moscow using the country’s dependence on Russian energy as political leverage.

“Our history shows that, all the time, Russians misused our dependencies for their own benefit,” Nausėda said.
Nausėda stressed that Lithuania is also increasing its own defense burden, saying the country is spending 5.4% of GDP on defense while building a national division and preparing to host a full German brigade by the end of 2027.

He said Lithuanian intelligence has periodically warned of a risk that Russia could target critical infrastructure in Lithuania, prompting additional measures to protect energy and other strategic assets.
