语气客气。措辞谨慎。但弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基的眼睛透露出战时领袖的决心。无论美国施加怎样的压力，“我们将自卫[抵御俄罗斯侵略]，否则我们将失去生命、家园、自由、独立、乌克兰”，乌克兰总统在10月11日星期日接受美国广播公司ABC采访时如是说。
The tone was polite. The words, carefully chosen. But Volodymyr Zelensky's eyes betrayed the resolve of a wartime leader. Regardless of US pressure, "we will defend ourselves [against Russian aggression], because otherwise, we will lose our life, our homes, our freedom, independence, Ukraine," the Ukrainian president said during an interview with US network ABC on Sunday, October 11.
片刻之后，柏林通过其外交部长表示“完全支持”泽连斯基“履行其沉重的责任”，并呼吁对俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京加大“压力”，以使他准备好进行谈判。“我完全支持泽连斯基总统，在他为本国人民自由而战的过程中”，欧洲委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩在X平台上回应道。“过去24小时对乌克兰来说很艰难”，英国首相安迪·伯纳姆补充道，向泽连斯基保证他的“完全团结”。
Moments later, Berlin, through its foreign minister, stated it "fully supports" Zelensky "in carrying out his heavy responsibilities," and called for increased "pressure" on Russian President Vladimir Putin "so that he is ready to negotiate." "All my full support for President Zelenskyy as he leads the fight for his people’s freedom," echoed European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on X. "The past 24 hours had been difficult for Ukraine," added UK Prime Minister Andy Burnam, assuring Zelensky of his "complete solidarity."
周五，特朗普总统在不顾可能激怒盟友的前景、将俄罗斯视为仅仅是一个加油站的情况下，吹嘘他与克里姆林宫达成的一项协议，以便美国能够在短时间内获得大约400万吨俄罗斯柴油。这是一项直接、快速的“交易”，正是特朗普所偏好的类型，他希望这能帮助在11月3日之前降低油价，而临近的中期选举预计对共和党阵营将是艰难的。
On Friday, unfazed by the prospect of scandalizing his allies and viewing Russia as little more than a gas station, US President Donald Trump boasted ofg a deal with the Kremlin to allow the United States to obtain roughly 4 million metric tons of Russian diesel in short order. It was a straightforward, rapid "deal" of the kind Trump favors, which he hopes will help lower gas prices before November 3 and the looming midterm elections, which are expected to be tough for the Republican camp.
