据奥列夏·萨弗罗诺娃和艾恩·罗杰斯报道，德国总理弗里德里希·默茨周日抵达基辅，重申德国对乌克兰的支持，并警告称，如果不遏止俄罗斯，它可能会对西方联盟发动攻击。
By Olesia Safronova and Iain Rogers Chancellor Friedrich Merz reiterated Germany’s backing for Ukraine as he arrived in Kyiv on Sunday and warned that Russia could attack the Western alliance if it’s not stopped.
柏林政府发布的消息显示，默茨说：“我今天前往基辅，是因为未来几周乌克兰需要我们所有人的支持。如果不能阻止俄罗斯，它的战争机器迟早会把矛头对准我们。”
“I traveled to Kyiv today because Ukraine needs all our support in the coming weeks,” Merz said, according to remarks distributed by the government in Berlin. “If Russia is not stopped, its war machine will sooner or later be turned against us.”The conservative leader traveled to Ukraine’s capital with his economy minister, Katherina Reiche, and 10 executives from defense and energy companies, according to German media.
据德国媒体报道，这位保守派领袖与经济部长卡塔琳娜·赖歇以及来自国防和能源公司的10名高管一同前往乌克兰首都。默茨说：“我们的伙伴关系不是单行道。德国和乌克兰企业正在共同开发惠及两国的技术。这让我们更安全、更强大。”乌克兰外长安德里·西比哈在默茨乘火车抵达时迎接了他。默茨将在周日与总统弗洛基米尔·泽连斯基举行会谈。
“Our partnership is not a one-way street,” Merz said. “German and Ukrainian companies are jointly developing technologies that benefit both countries. This makes us safer and stronger.”Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, who greeted the German leader upon his arrival by train, said Merz will hold talks Sunday with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Their agenda would focus on “strengthening Ukraine, our defense and resilience, and our shared European security,” he said.
西比哈说，议程将聚焦于“壮大乌克兰，提升其国防与韧性，并维护我们共同的欧洲安全”。
In a post on social media, Merz said Ukraine is facing “decisive weeks,” which had prompted his decision to travel there to show his support.
默茨在社交媒体上发帖称，乌克兰正面临“决定性的几周”，这促使他决定亲赴当地表达支持。他写道：“德国的安全同样取决于这场战争的结果。因此，出手相助也是出于我们自身的根本利益。”
“Germany’s security, too, depends on the outcome of this war,” he wrote. “That is why we are helping out of our own vital interest as well.”
