曼谷10月15日电——德国财政部长拉尔斯·克林贝尔于周四表示，他对乌克兰的支持是明确的，但也伴随着对政治改革的期待。
BANGKOK, Oct 15 - German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil said on Thursday his country's support for Ukraine was clear but came with expectations for political reforms.
“我们对乌克兰的支持是明确的。这一点没有动摇。但对乌克兰政府也有明确的期待，”克林贝尔在曼谷国际货币基金组织与世界银行会议闭幕间隙对记者表示。“我认为还有改进的空间。”他补充道：“这也是一种期待，因为我们必须反复向德国公民解释，为什么对乌克兰的支持如此巨大，”鉴于德国预算的削减。
"Our support for Ukraine is clear. There is no wavering on that. But there are also clear expectations of the Ukrainian government," Klingbeil told reporters on the sidelines of IMF-World Bank meetings in Bangkok. "I think there is room for improvement." "That is also an expectation because we must repeatedly explain to German citizens why support for Ukraine is so substantial," he added, given cuts in the German budget.
欧盟已承诺在2027年前向乌克兰提供450亿欧元（折合500亿美元）的资金，但该国的需求将要高得多，欧盟正在想方设法组织来自挪威、瑞士、加拿大、日本或英国等国的财政支持。
The EU has pledged €45 billion ($50 billion) for Ukraine for 2027, but the country's needs will be much higher and the EU is scrambling to organise financial support from countries such as Norway, Switzerland, Canada, Japan or Britain.
克林贝尔表示，他正在与国际伙伴讨论如何确保乌克兰的资金筹措，在周四于曼谷举行的会议期间获得了澳大利亚和韩国的承诺。
Klingbeil said he was discussing with international partners how to ensure Ukraine's financing, with commitments from Australia and South Korea during meetings on Thursday in Bangkok.
克林贝尔说：“必须指出的是，这与我们这些在地理上近得多的欧洲人的承诺不同。”但他补充说：“不过，双方都非常明确地表示，他们对乌克兰的支持将继续下去。”路透社
"One has to say that this is a different kind of commitment from that of us Europeans, who are geographically much closer," Klingbeil said. "But both made very clear that their support for Ukraine will continue." REUTERS
