基辅 - 乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基于10月13日批评基辅当局的冬季准备工作，引发该市饱受争议的市长迅速反击。
KYIV - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticised the Kyiv authorities on Oct 13 for their winter preparations, prompting a swift counter-attack from the city’s embattled mayor.
泽连斯基表示，他在10月12日召开了会议，听取了乌克兰各城市和地区在天气转冷、俄罗斯军事入侵临近五周年之际的应急计划。
Zelensky said he had held a meeting on Oct 12 to hear about contingency plans for Ukraine’s cities and regions as the weather turns colder and Russia’s military invasion inches towards its fifth anniversary.
但他补充道：“截至10月中旬，几乎整个国家——甚至边境和前线地区——的韧性计划执行情况比基辅更为先进。” “基辅居民当然能感受到——即使是‘沙赫德’无人机的孤立袭击也会导致首都大面积地区出现电力和供水中断，”他继续说道，指的是俄罗斯的喷气式动力攻击无人机。
But he added: “As of mid-October, virtually across the entire country – even in border and frontline regions – the implementation of resilience plans is further advanced than in Kyiv.”“And Kyiv residents certainly feel it – when even isolated hits by ‘shaheds’ cause electricity and water outages across large parts of the capital,” he continued, referring to the Russian jet-powered attack drones.
泽连斯基在2025年曾对基辅官员提出类似批评，促使前重量级拳击冠军维塔利·克利奇科予以反击。
Zelensky made similar criticisms of Kyiv officials in 2025, prompting former heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko to hit back.
克利奇科自2014年起担任基辅选举产生的市长，自泽连斯基于2019年成为总统不久后，双方便一直存在分歧，当时他指责泽连斯基政府试图非法限制他的市长职权。
Klitschko, who has served as Kyiv’s elected mayor since 2014, has been at odds with Zelensky since soon after the latter became president in 2019, when he accused Zelensky’s administration of an illegal attempt to curb his mayoral powers.
2026年，克利奇科表示这些指控“毫无根据”，并指责中央政府试图“摧毁地方自治”并取代他。
In 2026, the mayor said the accusations were “groundless” and accused the central government of trying to “destroy local self-government” and replace him.
“人民选举了我，我在极其艰难的条件下工作，竭尽所能，以证明基辅居民对我的信任，使城市能够在敌人持续的毁灭性袭击中继续运作，”他在Telegram上写道。
“People elected me and I am working, doing everything possible, under extremely difficult conditions to justify the trust of Kyiv residents so that the city can function amid constant devastating attacks by the enemy,” he wrote on Telegram.
基辅拥有约三百万人口，近年来正面临来自俄罗斯无人机和导弹的日益增加的袭击，能源基础设施成为关键目标。
Kyiv, which is home to some three million people, has come under increasing attack from Russian drones and missiles with energy infrastructure a key target.
这些袭击迫使实施轮流停电和紧急断电，以减轻电网压力，导致城市大部分地区陷入黑暗，基辅地铁暂时停运。供水也依赖电力来运行水泵，同样受到影响。
The attacks have forced rolling blackouts and emergency outages to ease pressure on the grid, plunging large parts of the city into darkness and temporarily stopping the Kyiv metro. Water supplies, which also depend on electricity to run pumps, have also been hit.
克利奇科上周告诉法新社，由于全天候的袭击正在减缓建设备用供暖系统以及燃料、食品和水储备的计划，首都正处于“生存”模式。
Klitschko told AFP last week the capital was in “survival” mode due to the round-the-clock attacks which were slowing plans to build back-up heating systems, and fuel, food and water stockpiles.
“无论我们准备得多么充分，如果防空系统不起作用，我们可能会陷入糟糕的局面，”他说，并补充道：“寻找替罪羊不会让人们更温暖。”法新社
“No matter how well we prepare, if air defence does not work, we could end up in a bad scenario,” he said, adding: “Finding scapegoats won’t make people warmer.”AFP
