宾夕法尼亚州共和党众议员布莱恩·菲茨帕特里克称，乌克兰失去使用星盾（Starshield，星链互联网的军用版本）的接入权是一个“重大问题”，并表示如果美国放弃对乌克兰的支持，国会将作出回应。
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) called Ukraine’s loss of access to Starshield, the military version of Starlink internet, a “major problem,” and said Congress would respond if the U.S. abandons its support for Ukraine.
乌克兰表示，周三突然无法使用星盾，这可能对其国防行动和抵御俄军攻击的能力产生重大影响。多家媒体此前报道称，美国在中断发生前曾威胁要切断对乌克兰的情报和武器支持。
Ukraine said it was suddenly unable to use Starshield on Wednesday, which could have major impacts on its defense operations and ability to stop Russian attacks. Multiple outlets had reported the U.S. threatened to cut off intelligence and weapons support to Ukraine prior to the outage.
拥有星链的SpaceX首席执行官埃隆·马斯克在社交平台X上的一篇帖子中澄清，星盾由美国政府管理，任何对该服务的限制都将由特朗普总统或军方决定。
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who owns Starlink, clarified in a post to the social platform X that Starshield is managed by the U.S. government, and any limits on the service would be decided on by President Trump or the military.
菲茨帕特里克威胁称，如果美国对乌克兰“断联”，将有“后果”，他告诉《华尔街日报》，国会可以停止对负责的联邦机构的资助。
Fitzpatrick threatened “consequences” if the U.S. “goes dark” on Ukraine, telling the Wall Street Journal that Congress could halt funding for federal agencies responsible.
“如果机构不履行职责，就不会获得资金，”他对《华尔街日报》说。
“Agencies won’t get funding if they’re not doing their jobs,” he told the Journal.
菲茨帕特里克代表宾夕法尼亚州第1国会选区，是众议院中为数不多的捍卫2024年由前副总统哈里斯赢得席位的共和党人之一。他面临艰难的连任之战，尽管过去他表现优于其他共和党人。
Fitzpatrick, who represents Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District, is one of just a handful of Republicans in the House defending a seat won by former Vice President Harris in 2024. He faces a tough reelection battle, though he has overperformed other Republicans in the past.
星盾事件发生之际，民主党和一些共和党人对特朗普对乌克兰摇摆不定的支持日益批评。特朗普表示，他已与普京总统达成协议购买俄罗斯柴油，这可能为俄罗斯继续战争提供财务生命线。特朗普还呼吁更换乌克兰总统泽连斯基，并将高油价归咎于乌克兰攻击俄罗斯炼油厂，而非美国与伊朗的战争。总统在乌克兰问题上的最新举措促使多名国会共和党议员发声。
The Starshield incident comes amid growing criticism from Democrats and some Republicans over Trump’s wavering support for Ukraine. Trump said he struck a deal with President Vladimir Putin to purchase Russian diesel, potentially giving Russia a financial lifeline to continue its war effort. Trump has also called for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to be replaced, and blamed high gas prices on Ukraine attacking Russian refineries, not on the U.S. war with Iran.
内布拉斯加州共和党众议员唐·培根表示，如果特朗普抛弃乌克兰，国会将不会推进特朗普的议程。培根将在中期选举后退休。
The president’s latest moves on Ukraine have prompted multiple Republican members of Congress to speak out. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), who is retiring after the midterms, said Congress will not advance Trump’s agenda if he abandons Ukraine.
“除非他们改变道路，否则他们的议程将死掉，”培根写道。另一位即将退休的共和党人、经常批评特朗普的北卡罗来纳州参议员汤姆·蒂利斯说，特朗普的俄罗斯石油交易正在“玷污”已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆（R-S.C.）的努力，而格雷厄姆是乌克兰的著名支持者。
“Their agenda is dead unless they change paths,” Bacon wrote on Another retiring Republican and frequent Trump critic, North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, said Trump’s Russian oil deal is “tarnishing” the efforts of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a prominent Ukraine supporter.
特朗普还呼吁更换泽连斯基，并将高油价归咎于乌克兰对俄罗斯炼油厂的袭击，而不是美国对伊朗的战争。
Trump also called for Zelensky to be replaced and blamed high gas prices on Ukraine attacking Russian refineries, not on the U.S. war with Iran.
泽连斯基周日告诉ABC新闻，特朗普正在攻击他，因为他无法阻止普京。
Zelensky told ABC News on Sunday that Trump is attacking him because he cannot stop Putin.
“这些人找不到阻止普京的钥匙，”泽连斯基说。“谈论价格并把它与乌克兰联系起来更简单。”
“These people can’t find a key how to stop Putin,” Zelensky said. “It’s more simple to speak about the prices and connect it with Ukraine.”
