立陶宛总理：立陶宛领空即北约领空，呼吁加强防空能力

立陶宛总理明道格·辛克维奇在接受DW采访时表示，空中防御是立陶宛最紧迫的安全优先事项。2 他强调"立陶宛领空是北约共同领空"，2 并指出"如果立陶宛领空安全，那么北约的领空在很大程度上也得到了保护"。2 辛克维奇阐述了立陶宛面临的多重安全威胁，包括来自白俄罗斯的无人机、人为移民和气象气球入侵。2

在防御能力建设上，辛克维奇强调既需要无人机也需要坦克，认为军事装备与新技术不应相互对立。2 他表示北约需要加强防御能力。1 同时，辛克维奇承诺立陶宛将继续每年至少将国内生产总值的0.25%用于支持乌克兰，近年实际支持额约为国内生产总值的0.3%。2 他最近访问了基辅和卢茨克，会见了乌克兰政治领导人。2

Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius underscored that air defense represents his nation's most pressing security priority in an exclusive interview with DW, declaring that "Lithuanian skies are NATO skies." 2 He emphasized that securing Lithuania's airspace is integral to NATO's broader defense, stating: "If Lithuanian skies are safe, then NATO's skies are to a large extent also protected." 2

Sinkevicius outlined multiple security challenges confronting Lithuania, including drone incursions, irregular migration, and weather balloon intrusions originating from Belarus. 2 He stressed that military spending alone proves insufficient for ensuring national security, and argued that NATO must strengthen its air defense capabilities. 2 On military procurement strategy, Sinkevicius rejected choosing between different defense technologies, asserting that "we need both drones and tanks," indicating that conventional equipment and emerging technologies serve complementary roles. 2

Regarding Ukraine support, the Lithuanian premier reaffirmed his country's commitment to allocating at least 0.25 percent of gross domestic product annually to assist Ukraine, with recent contributions reaching approximately 0.3 percent of GDP. 2 Sinkevicius recently visited Kyiv and Lutsk, located 400 kilometers west of Ukraine's capital, where he met with Ukrainian political leaders. 2
