乌克兰总统泽连斯基周四指责美国不愿援助乌克兰，此前俄罗斯空袭导致东部至少35人死亡，两天内俄军袭击造成的死亡人数已超过70人。在饱受战火摧残的克拉马托尔斯克市遭袭、两辆公交车被炸毁数小时后，泽连斯基批评华盛顿一方面寻求与俄罗斯建立经济联系，另一方面却试图调解这场持续四年多的战争。
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused the US of being unwilling to help Ukraine after a Russian bomb attack on Thursday killed at least 35 people in the east, sending the two-day death toll from Russian strikes to more than 70. Hours after the strike on the embattled city of Kramatorsk tore through two buses Zelenskyy criticised Washington’s effort to pursue economic ties with Russia while also seeking to mediate the more than four-year war.
泽连斯基在普里卢基对记者敦促美国答应他的请求，扩大乌克兰使用“星链”卫星服务的权限，以帮助其打击俄罗斯弹道导弹发射器。“为乌克兰开放‘星链’。你们在应对伊朗时开放了它……我公开说过——给我们，帮助我们保卫天空并在那里取得优势。那样普京才会坐到谈判桌前，”他说。
Speaking to reporters in Pryluky, the Ukrainian leader urged the US to accede to his requests to expand Ukraine’s access to the Starlink satellite service to help it target Russian ballistic-missile launchers. “Open Starlink for Ukraine. You did open it when you were responding to Iran ... I’ve said quite openly – give it to us, help us defend our skies and dominate there. And then Putin will sit down at the negotiating table,” he said.
联合国人权事务高级专员沃尔克·蒂尔克表示，他对周四的“骇人袭击”感到震惊。
UN rights chief Volker Turk said he was appalled by Thursday’s “horrifying strike”.
他在一份声明中说：“过去四天，乌克兰各地发生针对平民的袭击浪潮，包括今天袭击两辆公共汽车的骇人袭击，我对此感到震惊。这些袭击的规模和手段——在公交车上、家中和工作场所杀伤平民，波及全国不同地区——令人发指。泽连斯基称，过去两天，乌克兰各地遭袭击造成78人死亡、215人受伤。
“I am appalled by the wave of attacks killing civilians across Ukraine over the past four days, including today’s horrifying strike hitting two public buses,” he said in a statement. “The scale and manner of these attacks – killing and injuring people on buses, at their homes and work in different areas of the country – is reprehensible. In the last two days, 78 people were killed and 215 wounded by strikes across Ukraine, Zelenskyy said.
泽连斯基表示，乌克兰谈判代表将于周五和周六赴美举行会谈，并敦促美国总统特朗普加大对俄罗斯的制裁压力。乌克兰总统告诉记者，他预计基辅的欧洲伙伴将参加与美国的会谈。泽连斯基称，其幕僚长基里洛·布达诺夫，以及乌克兰高级官员鲁斯季姆·乌梅罗夫、谢尔盖·基斯利茨亚和大卫·阿拉哈米亚将参加在佛罗里达州举行的会谈。
Ukrainian negotiators will travel to the US on Friday and Saturday for talks, Zelenskyy said urging US president Donald Trump to increase sanction pressure on Russia. Ukraine’s president told reporters that he expected Kyiv’s European partners to join the talks with the US. Zelenskyy said his chief of staff, Kyrylo Budanov, as well as Ukraine’s top officials: Rustem Umerov, Sergiy Kyslytsya and David Arakhamia will take part in the talks in Florida.
由美国主导的旨在结束乌克兰战争的和平努力目前基本陷入停滞，因为华盛顿正将精力集中于与伊朗的冲突。不过美国官员表示，继特朗普的商业伙伴兼特使威特科夫以及总统女婿库什纳上月访问莫斯科与基辅后，美方正以扩大后的形式重新推动和平进程。美国官员称，这些特使将就“对乌克兰的安全保障、战后复兴计划以及冲突的其他相关事宜”展开讨论。一位熟悉谈判情况的人士透露：“威特科夫与库什纳将探讨美国谈判代表近期访问该地区时与俄方及乌方共同酝酿的新思路与提议。”
The US-led peace efforts to end the Ukraine war have largely stalled with Washington focused on its conflict with Iran. But US officials said they were making a fresh effort in an enlarged format, following visits to Moscow and Kyiv last month by Witkoff, Trump’s business friend-turned-roving envoy, and the president’s son-in-law Kushner. US officials said the envoys would discuss “security guarantees for Ukraine, a postwar prosperity plan, and other aspects of the conflict”. Witkoff and Kushner “will discuss new ideas and proposals that American negotiators began developing with the Russians and Ukrainians during their recent visit to the region,” a source familiar with the talks said.
鉴于对俄罗斯的担忧日益加剧，北约宣布将于周二起在意大利启动年度“核威慑”演习。此次演习定于10月13日至23日举行，共有17个国家参与。北约在声明中称：“此次演习是经过长期规划的常规训练活动，旨在确保联盟随时处于战备状态，并检验有助于提升威慑与防御能力的各项程序。”
Nato said it would start its annual ‘nuclear deterrence’ exercises in Italy from Tuesday amid mounting concerns about Russia. The drills will run from 13-23 October and involve 17 nations. “The exercise is a long-planned, routine training activity that is part of Nato’s efforts to maintain readiness and test procedures that contribute to the alliance’s deterrence and defence,” said a Nato statement.
韩国外长周四表示，由于泽连斯基宣布将两名朝鲜战俘移送至首尔一事引发争议，韩国将召回驻乌克兰大使。此前首尔方面指责基辅违反了关于战俘移交事宜的保密协议，双方由此产生争执。
South Korea will recall its ambassador to Ukraine, the foreign minister said on Thursday following a dispute over Zelenskyy’s announcement that two North Korean prisoners of war were being transferred to Seoul. The two sides have been locked in a dispute after Seoul accused Kyiv of breaching a confidentiality agreement over the transfer of the captured soldiers.
