这些桥梁是乌克兰首都许多通勤者的必经之路,也是俄罗斯针对基础设施进行广泛轰炸行动中的最新目标。

The bridges, used by many commuters in the Ukrainian capital, are the latest target in a broad Russian bombing campaign against infrastructure.

俄罗斯在不断增加的乌克兰基础设施轰炸名单中又增加了一个新目标:桥梁。在过去的三天里,俄罗斯在首都基辅袭击了桥梁六次。

Russia has a new target on its rapidly growing list of Ukrainian infrastructure to bomb: bridges. Over the past three days, Russia has attacked bridges in the capital, Kyiv, six times.

周四,三架无人机袭击了该市南部的一座桥梁,周五同一座桥梁又遭到两次袭击。周六上午,另一次袭击击中了北部的一座桥梁。

Three drones hit one in the city’s south on Thursday, and the same bridge was struck twice on Friday. On Saturday morning, another attack hit a bridge in the north.

尽管这些建筑仍然屹立不倒,但受损情况和更多袭击的威胁促使当地政府限制或停止了首都六座公路桥中五座的交通。

The structures still stand, but the damage and the threat of more attacks have prompted the local authorities to restrict or stop traffic on five of the capital’s six road bridges.

这严重扰乱了乌克兰最大城市的日常生活,该市像该国大部分地区一样,被宽阔的第聂伯河一分为二。

That has severely disrupted daily life in Ukraine’s largest city, which, like much of the country, is bisected by the broad Dnipro River.

基辅的许多人往返于主要是住宅区的东岸(约有100万人居住)和西岸(大多数政府办公室和企业所在地)之间。

Many in Kyiv commute between the mostly residential eastern bank, home to roughly a million people, and the western bank, where most government offices and businesses are located.

这些桥梁是俄罗斯针对远离前线的乌克兰基础设施进行的大规模打击行动中的最新目标。

The bridges are the latest target in a sweeping Russian strike campaign against Ukrainian infrastructure that is far from the front lines.

近几周来,该行动已扩大到包括仓库、火车、数据中心、医疗仓库和钢铁厂,此外,俄罗斯还计划在今年冬天升级对乌克兰电网的猛烈攻击。

That campaign has expanded in recent weeks to include warehouses, trains, data centers, medical depots and steel factories and comes on top of an intense assault on Ukraine’s power grid that Russia plans to escalate this winter.

乌克兰官员和军事专家表示,其目的是摧毁乌克兰的经济——以及该国维持战争努力的能力——同时通过使日常生活变得越来越困难来瓦解民众的战斗意志。

The goal, Ukrainian officials and military experts say, is to devastate Ukraine’s economy — and the country’s ability to sustain the war effort — while breaking the population’s will to fight by making everyday life increasingly difficult.

自2022年俄罗斯全面入侵以来,乌克兰已经抵御了其他此类行动。

Ukraine has withstood other such campaigns since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.

但防空系统的严重短缺,加上莫斯科不断增长的武器库,使该国现在比以往任何时候都更容易受到此类袭击的影响。

But a critical shortage of air defenses coupled with Moscow’s growing arsenal of weapons now leaves the country more vulnerable than ever to such attacks.
