乌克兰总统泽连斯基计划强行推进改革,以解锁欧盟援助乌克兰议会将投票通过16项法案,以帮助解锁来自欧盟和国际货币基金组织的43亿美元资金,这些法案涉及劳动、税收和反洗钱规则等改革。

Ukraine’s Zelensky aims to ram through reforms he needs to unlock EU aid Ukraine’s Parliament will vote on 16 Bills to help unlock US$4.3 billion from the EU and IMF, with reforms on labour, tax and anti-money laundering rules.

在腐败丑闻后,捐助国对基辅在反腐和透明度方面的要求日益严苛,欧盟已拒绝在没有更多改革的情况下加快贷款支付。

Donors are pressing Kyiv harder on graft and transparency after corruption scandals, and the EU has already refused faster loan payments without more reforms.

最具争议的问题是更严格的“政治暴露人物”规则,这可能决定资金是否到位;而战争、公众愤怒和政治异议使得该方案难以通过。AI生成基辅——乌克兰议会本周将投票通过一系列法律,以确保从欧盟和国际货币基金组织获得进一步融资。

The most divisive issue is tougher “politically exposed persons” rules, which could decide funding, while war, public anger and political dissent make the package hard to pass. AI generated KYIV – Ukraine’s Parliament will vote on a flurry of laws this week to secure further financing from the European Union and International Monetary Fund.

议员亚罗斯拉夫·热列兹尼亚克在Telegram上发布消息称,涉及43亿美元(55.1亿新元)的资金与外部支持者要求的改革挂钩。

At stake is US$4.3 billion (S$5.51 billion) linked to reforms demanded by the foreign backers, lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak said in a post on Telegram.

这16项法案涵盖从劳动标准到更新的反洗钱规则,预计将获得通过。

The 16 Bills, which cover everything from labour standards to updated anti-money laundering rules, are likely to pass.

根据议会日程表,最关键的、关系到解锁资金的立法将在10月14日前完成投票。

The legislation most relevant to unlocking the funding will face votes through Oct 14, according to a parliamentary schedule.

反对派议员弗拉基米尔·阿列夫表示,短时间通知让议员们只能像“考前的差生”一样临时阅读法律。

The short notice has left Members of Parliament reading up on the laws “like bad students the night before a test,” according to opposition lawmaker Volodymyr Ariev.

紧迫性源于乌克兰的外部捐助国对基辅打击腐败、提升支出透明度的要求日益严格。

The urgency is a result of Ukraine’s foreign donors getting tougher in their demands that Kyiv crack down on graft and improve transparency of spending.

过去一年中,一系列涉及关键政治人物的腐败丑闻——包括总统泽连斯基的盟友——加大了审查力度。这些法案旨在缓解这些担忧,特别是关于洗钱的问题。

Scrutiny has grown following a series of corruption scandals over the past year featuring key politicians, among them allies of President Volodymyr Zelensky. The bevy of Bills tries to assuage those concerns, particularly over money laundering.

早在十月初,欧盟就已拒绝基辅加快贷款支付以覆盖军事费用的请求,并要求进一步改革。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普也对乌克兰施加了更大压力。

Already earlier in October, the EU refused Kyiv’s requests to speed up loan payments to cover military costs and demanded further reforms. US President Donald Trump has also ramped up pressure on Ukraine.

他已呼吁基辅停止对俄罗斯炼油厂的袭击,并与总统弗拉基米尔·普京达成协议,将俄罗斯柴油投放至全球市场,试图在中期选举前降低能源价格。

He has called on Kyiv to halt strikes against Russian oil refineries and cut a deal with President Vladimir Putin to release Russian diesel into global markets in an attempt to lower energy prices ahead of midterm elections.

该协议可能会在俄罗斯全面入侵进入第五年之际,进一步加剧乌克兰的财政劣势,因为它将有助于为莫斯科的战争机器提供燃料。

The deal is set to deepen Ukraine’s financial disadvantage in the fifth year of Russia’s full-scale invasion by helping to fuel Moscow’s war machine.

与此同时,由于俄罗斯对黑海发动空袭,基辅正面临出口收入损失的问题。

Meanwhile, Kyiv faces a loss of revenue from exports due to Russian air strikes on Black Sea.

议会即将审议的这套法律,基于内阁对西方盟友于2025年初向乌克兰提出的一系列要求的解读。

The package of laws to be debated in Parliament is based on the Cabinet’s interpretation of a series of requirements that Western allies made of Ukraine early in 2025.

数月来,乌克兰强大的行政部门一直试图按照自己的条件释放这些资金,即弱化国际捐助者那些较不受欢迎的要求。如今,它别无选择,只能通过这些法案。

For months, Ukraine’s powerful executive branch tried to unlock those funds on its own terms by watering down international donors’ less popular demands. Now it has no choice but to pass the Bills.

国际货币基金组织估计,乌克兰2027年的预算赤字将超过300亿美元。欧盟则要求,经济改革必须先行,它才准备好填补这一资金缺口。

IMF estimates Ukraine’s budget shortfall at over US$30 billion in 2027. The EU has demanded that economic reforms have to come before it’s ready to plug that gap.

一个具有争议性的问题是“政治敏感人士”的地位,这些人将面临更严格的金融监管。

A divisive issue is the status of “politically exposed persons” who face increased financial monitoring.

许多议员及其家人本身就被视为政治敏感人士,他们经常抱怨这一身份因额外的金融审查而带来负担。

Many lawmakers and their families count as PEPs themselves and regularly complain that the status is burdensome due to additional financial checks.

部分版本的立法提议,将乌克兰议员的政治敏感人士身份延长至终身,并撤销最近一项放宽银行对政治敏感人士处理方式的修正案。然而,国际捐助者反对任何对这些规则的放宽。

Some versions of the legislation propose lifelong PEP status for Ukrainian lawmakers and the reversal of a recent amendment that eased banks’ treatments of PEPs. However, international donors oppose any relaxation of those rules.

两名了解此事的人士表示,他们预计这项修正案将成为最具争议的问题,并补充说,若未能撤销该修正案,可能会阻碍政府从国际货币基金组织和欧盟获得进一步资金的努力。

Two people familiar with the matter said they expected the amendment to be the most contentious issue, adding that a failure to reverse it could derail government efforts to secure further funding from the IMF and the EU.

两名人士还表示,这一问题已变得异常激烈,许多议员甚至要求泽连斯基解雇中央银行行长,因为他们认为后者支持维持现行的政治敏感人士规则。

The question has become so heated that many lawmakers have demanded Zelenskyy dismiss the central bank governor, as they believe he supports maintaining the current PEP rules, the people said.

许多其他《法案》内容,包括收紧税收漏洞、扩大对在线平台和个人快递的征税,在乌克兰公众中并不受欢迎。这也是自2025年初以来,该方案几乎没有进展的部分原因。

Many other elements of the Bills, including tightening tax loopholes and expanding taxes on online platforms and personal shipping, are unpopular among the Ukrainian public. That’s partly why there has been little motion on the package since the start of 2025.

尽管泽连斯基的“人民公仆”党可能在议会中掌握多数,但他仍需应对关键问题上的公开分歧。

While Zelensky’s Servant of the People party may control a majority in Parliament, he must still deal with open dissent over key issues.

随着战争的持续进行,该党的若干议员已形成事实上的“内部反对派”,政治学家弗谢尔科表示。乌克兰的戒严法阻止了总统选举的举行,但也冻结了议会的组成。

As the war has ground on, several of its lawmakers have formed a de-facto “internal opposition,” said political scientist Volodymyr Fesenko. Martial law in Ukraine has forestalled presidential elections, but it’s also frozen the Parliament’s composition.

由于上次议会选举是在2019年举行的,议员们“失去了给选民留下印象的动力”,可以更自由地行事,柏林SWP智库专注于乌克兰国内政治的研究员苏珊·斯图尔特说道。

With the last parliamentary election held in 2019, lawmakers “lose the impetus to impress their constituencies” and can act more freely, said Susan Stewart, a researcher at the Berlin-based SWP think tank focusing on Ukrainian domestic politics.

“我们今天的议会就像一位患有多种疾病的老人,走路困难,工作也困难——但他们必须工作,还必须不断去看医生,”弗谢尔科说。“许多议员想离开政治,嗯,也想离开议会。”彭博社

“Our Parliament today resembles a senior citizen with a bunch of ailments, when it’s tough for them to walk, it’s tough for them to work – but they have to work, and they have to go to the doctor constantly,” said Fesenko. “Plenty of the deputies want to leave politics and, well, the Parliament too.”BLOOMBERG
