US Undersecretary of War, Elbridge Colby and NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte 2026 The Associated Press. All rights reserved Shona Murray Published on US Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby is hosting representatives from five key NATO members in Poland to discuss defence capabilities and the future of the alliance. Critics warn the exclusion of some Allies risks creating a “toxic” divide.
美国国防部副部长埃尔布里奇·科尔比与五个欧洲国家之间的会谈引发了北约专家的担忧。他们警告称,这种会谈形式可能会使联盟分裂,因为华盛顿正敦促欧洲承担更多自身国防的责任。
Talks between US Undersecretary of Defense Elbridge Colby and five European countries have raised concerns among NATO experts who warn the format risks dividing the alliance as Washington presses Europe to take greater responsibility for its own defence.
这一会谈机制因去年在挪威举行的首次会议而被称作“卑尔根小组”,成员包括瑞典、芬兰、波兰、德国和荷兰。英国、法国和波罗的海国家并未受邀。
Known as the Bergen Group after its inaugural meeting in Norway last year, the format brings together Sweden, Finland, Poland, Germany and the Netherlands. The UK, France and the Baltic states were not invited.
“归根结底,这对一个依赖集体协作的联盟来说非常有害,”地缘政治咨询公司拉斯穆森全球的首席执行官法布里斯·波蒂埃表示。
"The bottom line is this is very toxic for an alliance that relies of collective play," said Fabrice Pothier, CEO of geopolitical consultancy, Rasmussen Global.
他告诉欧洲新闻台:“很明显,这是美国在挑选自己的‘宠儿’。”
"Clearly this is about the US having favourites," he told Euronews.
该小组的设立旨在讨论北约的未来,因为联盟正在向所谓的“北约3.0”转型:这是美国提出的一种模式,由欧洲主导大陆的常规防御。
The group was established to discuss NATO’s future as the alliance shifts towards so-called NATO 3.0: a US invented model in which Europe takes the lead the conventional defence of the continent.
这也意味着美国将缩减其传统角色,并撤回向联盟提供的关键能力,包括轰炸机、潜艇和人员。与此同时,北约则淡化了这一由美国主导的独立小组的重要性。
It also involves the US scaling back its traditional role, and withdrawing key capabilities including bombers, submarines and personnel it makes available to the alliance. Meanwhile, NATO is playing down the significance of the separate, US-led subgroup.
“盟友以较小规模举行会议并不罕见,”一位北约官员告诉欧洲新闻台。
“It’s not unusual for groups of Allies to meet in smaller formats,” a NATO official told Euronews.
“北约3.0”意味着美国将退出其在欧洲作为主要国防提供者的传统角色,撤回向联盟提供的轰炸机、潜艇和人员等能力。
NATO 3.0 involves the US withdrawing from its traditional role as the leading defence provider in Europe, pulling capabilities such as bombers, submarines and personnel available to the alliance.
尽管官员们将这些会谈斥为例行公事,但其他人则认为,这一安排会将成员国划分为“好欧洲人”与“坏欧洲人”,同时进一步巩固华盛顿在整个联盟中的影响力。
While officials dismiss the talks as routine, others argue the arrangement will split members into "good European versus bad European" categories while reinforcing Washington's influence across the alliance.
波蒂埃承认,较小的团体可以在组织内部推动新想法,例如发布“非正式文件”,但他认为,华盛顿之所以选择伯格恩国家,是因为这些国家符合重要的国防标准。“倡议往往来自较小的团体,”他说。
Pothier acknowledged that smaller groups can advance new ideas within organisations, such as the publication of 'non-papers', but he argued that Washington had selected the Bergen countries as they fulfil important defence criteria. "Initiatives, often come from smaller groups," he said.
“这些国家具备某种理想的军事规模——包括陆、海、空力量,”波蒂埃说。
"These countries bring a certain desired mass – ground, air and maritime," said Pothier.
“但既然这并非一项政策制定活动,美国为何选择某些国家而非其他国家呢?”他问道。
"But why is the US picking some rather than others when this is not a policy exercise?" he said.
波蒂埃曾任政策规划司司长,他表示,将联盟各部分划分为小组的做法引发了担忧,即美国可能更倾向于保护某些盟友而非其他盟友。
Pothier, who is former director of policy planning said the separation of the parts of alliance into subgroups creates concern that the US might be more inclined to defend one ally over another.
“这种做法引入了一个概念:美国偏爱某些盟友,并可能优先保护这些盟友,而非其他成员,”波蒂埃说。
"You introduce the notion that the US favours some allies and would be likely to defend those allies ahead of the rest," said Pothier.
他暗示,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对英国和法国最初拒绝加入对伊战争心存“怨恨”,加上法国推动采购欧洲军事装备,或许可以解释为何两国被排除在外。
He suggested US President Donald Trump’s “grudge” over the UK and France’s initial refusal to join the war in Iran, along with France’s push to buy European military equipment, could explain their exclusion.
然而,英国外交官驳斥了英国被边缘化的说法,称他们与美国同行保持着定期联系。
UK diplomats, however, rejected the suggestion that Britain was being sidelined, saying they remained in regular contact with their US counterparts.
波罗的海国家的缺席尤其引人注目。这些国家按GDP占比计算,是北约最大的国防开支国之一,并且位于联盟与俄罗斯的最前线。该地区多次遭受混合攻击,包括无人机入侵、纵火和破坏活动。
Baltic exclusion The Baltic states’ absence is particularly striking. They are among NATO’s biggest defence spenders as a share of GDP and sit on the alliance’s frontline with Russia. The region has faced repeated hybrid attacks, including drone incursions, arson and sabotage.
他们的缺席发生在科尔比8月访问北约布鲁塞尔总部之后。据北约消息人士称,当时他敦促波罗的海国家官员对俄罗斯的侵略采取不那么对抗性的态度。
Their exclusion follows Colby’s visit to NATO headquarters in Brussels in August, when, according to NATO sources, he urged Baltic officials to adopt a less confrontational tone towards Russian aggression.
一位消息人士称,科尔比以美国重新努力结束乌克兰战争为由,建议减少对与俄罗斯“处于战争状态”的表述。
One source said Colby cited renewed US efforts to end the war in Ukraine as a reason to tone down talk of being at “war” with Russia.
华盛顿还邀请俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京参加将于12月在迈阿密举行的G20峰会,会议地点位于特朗普拥有的一家高尔夫度假村。
Washington has also invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami in December, at a golf resort owned by Trump.
“这或许是自北约东扩以来,美国与波罗的海国家首次出现分歧,”波蒂埃说道。
"It's probably the first time since NATO enlargement that there’s a split between the US and Baltics," said Pothier.
“我们知道,本届美国政府面对俄罗斯的侵略行为时,显得要淡定得多,”他补充道。
"We know that this US administration is far less fazed by Russian aggression," he said.
由于无人机及其他“影子战争”形式的敌对行动仍在持续,波罗的海地区的局势依然紧张。政府、军队和民众都处于高度戒备状态。
The situation for the Baltics remains tense due to the ongoing drone and other shadow war hostilities. Government, military and civilian populations are on constant alert.
周六,维尔纽斯机场被迫关闭约一小时,作为对疑似来自白俄罗斯的无人机入侵的回应,北约出动了两架战斗机。
On Saturday, Vilnius airport was forced to shut down for around an hour, prompting the deployment of two NATO jets in response to a suspected drone intrusion from Belarus.
立陶宛邀请科尔比。一位消息人士向欧洲新闻台证实,立陶宛政府已邀请科尔比访问该地区,以亲眼目睹正在发生的侵犯领空行为。
Lithuania invites Colby A source confirmed to Euronews that the Lithuanian government has invited Colby to visit the region to witness the ongoing airspace violations first-hand.
“我们看到什么,就说什么,”一位波罗的海国家的外交官在捍卫其前沿军事部署时告诉欧洲新闻台。这位外交官还补充说,莫斯科必须明白其“影子战争”所付出的代价,因此必须“强硬”应对。欧盟国防委员安德留斯·库比柳斯——一位前立陶宛总理——上周在欧洲新闻台国防与空间峰会上也呼吁采取更强有力的回应。
"We say what we see," a Baltic diplomat told Euronews defending their forward military posture. The diplomat added that Moscow must understand the cost of its shadow war to be "harsh." EU Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius, a former Lithuanian prime minister, also called for a stronger response at the Euronews Defence and Space Summit last week.
“如果我们遭受俄罗斯的混合攻击,我们的回应也应该同样令其痛苦,”库比柳斯说道。
"If we are hit by Russian hybrid attacks, our answers should be as painful as that attack," Kubilius said.
与此同时,一位位于华盛顿的消息人士告诉欧洲新闻台,这次独家会晤看起来是美国方面“故意制造事端”的行为,并警告称此举正在加剧联盟内部的分裂。法国官员在截稿时未予回应。前往无障碍快捷键
Meanwhile, a Washington-based source told Euronews that the exclusive meeting appears to be "mischief-making" on the part of the US, warning that it actively divides the alliance. French officials had no response time of publication. Go to accessibility shortcuts
