布鲁塞尔,9月24日——据路透社看到的一份欧盟报告执行摘要显示,欧盟的重新武装进程既不够迅速,也不够有效,无法实现其到2030年具备抵御俄罗斯防御能力的目标。
Europe needs 'decisive change' in defence efforts to face Russia threat, EU agency says BRUSSELS, Sept 24 - The European Union is not rearming quickly or effectively enough to meet its goal of being ready to defend against Russia by 2030, according to the executive summary of an EU report prepared for the bloc's leaders and seen by Reuters.
欧洲防务局在其首份年度《防务准备状况报告》中指出,欧盟成员国的当前计划“似乎无法满足”在防空与反导、地面作战、海军力量、弹药储备及无人机等领域填补短板的既定目标。
EU members' current plans "do not seem to meet" the goal of filling gaps in areas such as air and missile defence, ground combat, naval forces, munition stockpiles and drones, the European Defence Agency said in its first annual Defence Readiness Report.
该欧盟机构写道:“应对充满对抗且不断恶化的安全环境以及俄罗斯侵略带来的威胁,要求我们在迈向2030年防务准备就绪的道路上,比现在走得更远、速度大幅提升。”
“Tackling the challenges of a contested and deteriorating security environment and the threat posed by Russia’s aggression requires moving further and substantially faster than now to reach defence readiness by 2030,” the EU agency wrote.
成就前所未有,但“尚且不足”欧盟27国领导人去年下令编制该报告,以评估其在提升欧洲防务方面的进展。这一举措反映了由俄罗斯在乌克兰发动的战争所加剧的担忧,以及美国总统唐纳德·特朗普要求欧洲为自身安全承担更多责任的呼声。
ACHIEVEMENTS UNPRECEDENTED BUT 'NOT YET ENOUGH' Leaders from the EU’s 27 countries ordered the report last year to assess progress in their drive to ramp up Europe's defences, reflecting fears fuelled by Russia’s war in Ukraine and calls by US President Donald Trump for Europe to do more for its own security.
特朗普还曾威胁退出北约联盟,该联盟数十年来一直是欧洲安全的基石;不过,他今年7月在安卡拉举行的峰会上重申了对北约集体防御条款的承诺。
Trump has also threatened to withdraw from the NATO alliance that has been the bedrock of European security for decades, although he recommitted to its mutual defence clause at a summit in Ankara in July.
俄罗斯否认有任何攻击欧盟成员国的意图,并指责欧洲各国领导人制造恐慌。但欧盟领导人驳斥了莫斯科的说法,指出俄方在2022年入侵乌克兰之前也曾发表过类似言论。
Russia has denied it has any intention of attacking an EU member and accused the continent's leaders of fearmongering. But EU leaders have dismissed Moscow's assertions, pointing out it made similar comments before its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
在这种不确定的国际背景下,欧盟领导人去年设定了到2030年使欧洲具备自我防御能力的目标。
Against such an uncertain international backdrop, EU leaders last year set themselves the goal of making Europe ready to defend itself by 2030.
欧盟防务部长们预计将于周一在布鲁塞尔讨论该防务局的报告,随后报告将提交给欧盟领导人。
EU defence ministers are expected to discuss the defence agency's report in Brussels on Monday and it will then go to the bloc's leaders.
路透社看到的摘要称:“首份《年度防务战备报告》显示,在深化伙伴关系、尤其是与乌克兰的伙伴关系支持下,支出、能力发展和工业战备均取得进展。”
“The first Annual Defence Readiness Report shows progress in spending, capability development, and industrial readiness, supported by deepened partnerships, notably with Ukraine,” the summary seen by Reuters said.
“然而,当前的势头和增加的投入尚未转化为足够可部署、可持续和可互操作的部队,关键能力缺口依然存在。迄今为止取得的成果虽然前所未有,但仍不够。”路透社
“However, the current momentum and increased investment do not yet translate into sufficiently deployable, sustainable and interoperable forces, while critical capability gaps remain. What has been achieved so far, although unprecedented, is not yet enough.” REUTERS
