俄罗斯安全委员会副主席梅德韦杰夫周日警告称，如果应乌克兰的请求阻断俄罗斯新建立的‘曙光’卫星网络，将等同于摧毁该网络，并可能引发全面太空战争。
The deputy head of Russia’s Security Council Deputy on Sunday warned that “blocking” Russia’s new Rassvet satellite network at Ukraine's request would amount to its destruction and lead to “full-scale space warfare.”
梅德韦杰夫在Telegram上表示：“太空是一个非常拥挤的空间，各国需要相互礼让。”他还说：“我希望美国人能明白这一点。毕竟，他们的低轨道星链卫星届时就会像圣诞树上掉落的装饰品一样纷纷坠落。”
On Telegram, Dmitry Medvedev said that “space is a very crowded place; we need to be mutually courteous.”“The Americans, I hope, realize this. After all, their low-orbit Starlink satellites would come tumbling down like ornaments from a dried-up Christmas tree,” said the Russian former president.
此前，乌克兰总统泽连斯基周六对《金融时报》表示，他已请求美国总统特朗普对参与开发星链替代系统的俄罗斯及中国企业实施制裁。
The statement came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told The Financial Times on Saturday that he had asked US President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on Russian and Chinese firms involved in developing a rival to the Starlink satellite network.
泽连斯基指出，中国正在协助俄罗斯研发相关技术，‘曙光’系统有望在“今年年底或明年年初”投入使用。他警告称，这一系统一旦建成，将显著提升俄罗斯空袭的精准度，而目前俄乌战争已进入第五个年头。
Zelenskyy said China is helping Russia develop the technology and that Rassvet could become operational by “the end of the year, beginning next year.”“We know that China works on satellites, works on the possibility of helping Russia with a similar Starlink,” Zelenskyy said, warning that the capability could boost the precision of Russian airstrikes as Moscow escalates its aerial campaign against Ukraine, now in its fifth year.
