欧盟敦促乌克兰在面临巨额预算缺口之际继续推进改革,以解锁数十亿美元的资金,并强调改革能够建立信任并确保支持得到有效利用。

The EU urges Ukraine to continue reforms to unlock billions in funding amid a large budget shortfall, stressing that reforms build trust and ensure effective use of support.

乌克兰今年面临200亿美元的财政赤字,并寻求欧盟加快拨款,但欧盟要求在释放更多资金前提供更清晰的解释和改革进展。

Ukraine faces a US$20 billion deficit this year and seeks faster EU payments, but EU demands clearer explanations and reform progress before releasing more funds.

欧盟正在探讨提前支付贷款以及动用被冻结的俄罗斯资产等选项,同时呼吁其他盟友帮助填补乌克兰的资金缺口,以维持国家稳定。

EU explores options like advancing loan payments and tapping frozen Russian assets, while calling on other allies to help cover Ukraine's financing gap for a stable state.

人工智能生成 布鲁塞尔讯——欧盟于9月29日告知乌克兰,必须继续推进改革,以便在今年解锁数十亿美元的资金,此前基辅方面警告称其面临巨大的预算缺口。

AI generated BRUSSELS - The European Union told Ukraine on Sept 29 to continue reforms in order to unlock billions in funding this year, as Kyiv warns it faces a mammoth budget shortfall.

布鲁塞尔目前正分期发放一项900亿欧元(约合1300亿新元)的贷款,旨在帮助这个饱受战争蹂躏的国家维持运转至2027年底。

Brussels is currently paying out instalments of a €90 billion (S$130 billion) loan that is meant to help the war-torn country keep afloat to the end of 2027.

但乌克兰政府表示,今年仍需约200亿美元(约合255亿新元)来填补巨大的财政赤字,并敦促欧盟加快拨款进度。欧盟官员表示,他们正在研究满足乌克兰资金需求的各种选项。

But Ukraine’s government has said it still needs some US$20 billion (S$25.5 billion) to cover a yawning deficit this year and has urged the EU to speed up the payments. EU officials say they are looking into options for Ukraine’s funding needs.

但他们指出,基辅尚未对其资金缺口的具体数字作出充分解释,应首先专注于推进改革,以解锁今年已经摆在桌面上的资金。

But they say Kyiv has not fully explained its figures for the shortfall and should first focus on pushing through reforms to unlock funds already on the table for this year.

欧盟扩围事务专员玛尔塔·科斯在布鲁塞尔举行的基辅捐助者会议上表示:“我们向乌克兰朋友传达的信息很明确——落实商定的改革,这样我们才能继续为您提供财政支持。”

“Our message to our Ukrainian friends is clear – deliver the agreed reforms, so we can continue supporting you financially,” EU enlargement commissioner Marta Kos told a gathering of donors with Kyiv in Brussels.

“改革至关重要。它们能够建立信任。它们能让乌克兰的伙伴们确信,我们的支持正在被有效利用。”布鲁塞尔本月在致乌克兰议长的信中表示,只要乌克兰推进改革,在2026年底之前,“仍有超过200亿欧元的欧盟财政援助”可供基辅使用。

“Reforms matter. They build trust. They give Ukraine’s partners confidence that our support is being used effectively.”In a letter to Ukraine’s parliamentary speaker this month, Brussels said, “over 20 billion euros in EU financial assistance remains available” for Kyiv before the end of 2026 provided that it carries out reforms.

黑洞 鉴于乌克兰近期接连发生多起备受瞩目的腐败丑闻,布鲁塞尔的外交官们表示,对基辅各项诉求的审查力度正在加大。

Black hole Coming against a backdrop of a string of high-profile corruption scandals in Ukraine, diplomats in Brussels say there is a greater scrutiny of the demands from Kyiv.

他们坚称,各方依然拥有坚定的意愿,确保提供足够的资金,帮助该国度过一个艰难的冬季。

They insist there is still a firm willingness to ensure there is enough money to see the country through a tough winter.

乌克兰总理谢尔盖·科雷茨基在周末接受当地媒体采访时表示,资金缺口为270亿美元,但基辅将通过国内节支筹集7亿美元。

In an interview over the weekend, Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergiy Koretsky told local media the deficit was US$27 billion, but Kyiv would find US$7 billion from savings domestically.

对于这个拥有27个成员国的欧盟来说,填补这一资金黑洞的一个可选方案是,提前发放价值900亿欧元贷款项下的更多款项。但这可能导致该基金在2027年底之前比预期更快耗尽。

One option for the 27-nation EU to plug the black hole could be bringing forward more payments under the €90 billion loan. But that could cause the fund to run dry sooner than expected before the end of 2027.

随着外界对乌克兰最终将需要更多资金的预期不断升温,几个欧盟国家再次呼吁动用被冻结的俄罗斯央行资产。

With expectations growing that Ukraine will eventually need more funds, several EU countries have revived calls to tap frozen Russian central bank assets.

到目前为止,该问题尚未取得实质性进展,因为大部分资金存放地比利时仍然坚决反对。

So far, there has not been real progress on the issue as Belgium, where the bulk of the money is held, is still firmly opposed.

与此同时,欧盟也在努力敦促英国、加拿大和日本等乌克兰的其他支持者共同帮助填补这一融资缺口。

The EU, meanwhile, is also trying to push other supporters of Ukraine such as Britain, Canada and Japan to also help plug the financing gap.

“The coming months will require action from all of us. We need to give Ukraine the predictability it needs to keep the state functioning,” Kos told the donor meeting. “We are delivering our share.”AFP
