基辅,10月9日——随着俄罗斯袭击主要城市的燃料基础设施,乌克兰的加油站正陆续安装填砂防爆屏障和混凝土避难所,零售商正努力加固其网络。
KYIV, Oct 9 - Sand-filled blast barriers and concrete shelters are multiplying at filling stations in Ukraine in a push by retailers to fortify their networks as Russia attacks fuel infrastructure in major cities.
自2022年全面战争爆发以来,俄罗斯一直在前线地区打击加油站,但最近几个月已将空袭范围扩大到基辅、第聂伯和哈尔科夫的燃油零售商。
Russia has struck petrol stations in frontline areas since the beginning of the full-scale war in 2022, but in recent months it has broadened its air campaign to target fuel retailers in Kyiv, Dnipro and Kharkiv.
国有石油公司乌克兰最大石油公司Ukrnafta的一位高级主管表示,公司正采取措施保护设施,尽管预计需求将增长10-15%,但这些袭击不会导致今年冬季出现短缺。
A senior executive at state-owned Ukrnafta, Ukraine's largest oil company, said it was taking steps to protect its facilities and the strikes would not cause shortages this winter despite an expected increase in demand of 10-15%.
Ukrnafta加油站网络负责人莱娅·扎尔斯卡说,即使加油站被击中,运营有时也能在几天内恢复。
Even when petrol stations are hit, operations are sometimes restored within days, said Lesya Zharska, director of Ukrnafta's station network. "We will protect the facilities.
“我们会保护设施。我们会恢复设施。我们已经为冬季做好准备,”她在基辅郊区的一家Ukrnafta加油站接受采访时说。路对面,工人们正在重建最近一次袭击中被毁的加油站。
We will restore the facilities. We are ready for the winter," she said in an interview at an Ukrnafta station on the outskirts of Kyiv. on the other side of the road, workers were rebuilding a station destroyed in a recent attack.
最近几周,基辅至少有六座Ukrnafta加油站被击中。能源部长丹尼斯·什梅哈尔表示,过去六个月俄罗斯已摧毁超过300座加油站。
In recent weeks, at least six Ukrnafta filling stations have been hit in Kyiv. In total, Russia has destroyed more than 300 stations in the last six months, Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said.
莫斯科称并未故意针对乌克兰的民用基础设施,但随着其部队在地面推进受阻,已加大对人口稠密地区的攻击力度。与此同时,乌克兰对石油炼厂的攻击导致俄罗斯燃料短缺,俄罗斯已实施出口禁令。
Moscow says it does not deliberately target Ukraine's civilian infrastructure but it has stepped up attacks on populated areas as its forces struggle to advance on the ground. Meanwhile, Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries have caused fuel shortages in Russia, which has introduced an export ban.
降低风险 为了降低基辅等人口中心的风险,Ukrnafta在其660座加油站中的三十多座加装了填砂的金属网格立方体——即石笼防爆屏障。计划很快在其他城市也进行安装。
MITIGATING RISKS To mitigate the risks in population centres such as Kyiv, where it has three dozen of its 660 stations, Ukrnafta has put up blast barriers made of wire-mesh cubes - or gabions - filled with sand. The aim is to instal them in other cities soon.
“当出现黄色或红色空袭警报时,我们会停止运营并要求顾客离开,员工则前往避难所,”扎尔斯卡说。
"When there is a yellow or red air alarm, we stop operations and ask customers to leave, and staff head to shelters," Zharska said.
随着冬季气温下降,外界普遍预计俄罗斯将再度加强对乌克兰能源基础设施的打击。
Russia is widely expected to intensify strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure once again as temperatures drop in winter.
扎尔斯卡称,乌克纳夫塔已在其旗下的所有加油站配备了备用柴油发电机,并采购了足量燃料以防出现供应缺口。她补充道:“我们一定会完成既定工作。” 路透社
Ukrnafta has already equipped stations across its network with back-up diesel generators and contracted sufficient fuel imports to prevent supply gaps, Zharska said, adding: "We will carry out our work." REUTERS
