一群两党美国参议员签署了一封信，要求紧急调查有关SpaceX星链互联网网络在乌克兰出现中断的报道。
A bipartisan group of US senators has signed a letter demanding an urgent investigation into reported disruptions to SpaceX's Starlink internet network in Ukraine.
星链是基辅用于引导无人机袭击俄方目标并保护本国领空的重要工具，但周二晚上乌克兰称，在保持互联网连接的同时，意外限制了无人机的飞行速度。
Starlink is a vital tool allowing Kyiv to guide drones to Russian targets and protect its own skies, but on Tuesday night Ukraine said it unexpectedly restricted how fast drones could fly while maintaining internet connection.
参议员们在周四发送给美国国防部监察长的信中表示，他们对10月12日至14日之间出现的限速报道“深感担忧”。
In the letter, sent on Thursday to the US Department of Defense inspector general, the senators say they have "grave concern" about reports of speed restrictions between 12 and 14 October.
白宫和五角大楼尚未回应有关美国可能在这起所谓的减速事件中发挥作用的建议。
The White House and Pentagon have not responded to the suggestion the US might have had a role in the alleged slowdown.
该信由参议院外交关系委员会的民主党参议员珍妮·沙赫恩（Jeanne Shaheen）牵头起草，要求监察长查明这些限速是否由美国国防部或其承包商造成。
The letter, led by Jeanne Shaheen - a Democrat on the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee - calls for the inspector general to find out whether the restrictions were caused by the US defence department or its contractors.
信中称，“据报道的限速削弱了乌克兰抵御俄方无人机和导弹袭击民用基础设施的能力”。
It says "restrictions reportedly degraded Ukraine's ability to conduct defensive operations against Russian drone and missile attacks on civilian infrastructure".
星链由埃隆·马斯克的SpaceX所有，周二晚上将速度限制调至每小时100英里（160公里/小时），这意味着任何飞行速度超过此限制的武器都会失去与网络的连接。
Starlink, which is owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX, restricted speed limits on Tuesday night to 100mph (160km/h), meaning any weapons that travelled faster than that lost connectivity to the network.
参议员们还表示，他们对影响情报共享和威胁预警能力的中断或“故障”报道感到“深感担忧”，这些能力被在乌克兰行动的人员所依赖。
The senators also say they are "deeply concerned" by reports of disruptions or "glitches" affecting intelligence-sharing and threat-warning capabilities relied upon by personnel operating in Ukraine.
声明称：“我们尤其担忧的是，美国外交、军事和安全部门人员在俄方空袭期间无法到达指定的掩体。”
"We are particularly alarmed by incidents in which U.S. diplomatic, military, and security personnel were unable to reach designated bunkers during Russian air raids," the statement says.
参议员们补充道：“鉴于这些事件可能带来的致命后果，必须立即展开调查。”
"Given the potentially deadly consequences, these incidents require immediate investigation," the senators add.
该信的签署人包括共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯、苏珊·柯林斯、丽莎·穆尔科斯基和约翰·科宁，以及民主党参议员理查德·杜宾、杰克·里德、理查德·布卢门撒尔和克里斯托弗·库恩斯。
The letter's signatories include Republican Senators Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and John Cornyn, alongside Senators Richard Durbin, Jack Reed, Richard Blumenthal and Christopher Coons from the Democrats.
SpaceX的所有者埃隆·马斯克暗示美国政府可能是限制的幕后推手。
SpaceX owner Elon Musk has suggested the US government may be behind restrictions.
周三，马斯克在X上写道：“星盾系统由美国政府所有并受其控制。任何对速度或使用的限制均由美国军方决定，最终由[美国总统]决定。”
On Wednesday Musk wrote on X that "Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately [the US president]".
星链是一项民用服务，利用低地球轨道卫星提供互联网接入，特别是在偏远地区。星盾依赖星链网络，专为政府和军事使用而设计。两者均由马斯克的SpaceX所有。
Starlink is a civilian service that uses satellites in low Earth orbit to provide internet access, particularly in remote areas. Starshield, which relies on the Starlink network, is designed for government and military use. Both are owned by Musk's SpaceX.
乌克兰总统泽连斯基指责美国撤回情报共享，以施压基辅结束对俄罗斯能源设施的袭击。
Ukraine's President Zelensky has accused the US of withdrawing intelligence-sharing to pressure Kyiv into ending attacks against Russian energy sites.
周四，泽连斯基表示，在特朗普总统周日宣布的“能源停火”期间，俄罗斯继续袭击乌克兰能源基础设施后，乌克兰的袭击将继续进行。
On Thursday, Zelensky said Ukraine's attacks would continue after Russia had continued striking Ukraine's energy infrastructure during an "energy ceasefire" announced by US President Donald Trump on Sunday.
泽连斯基说，他已将袭击限制为三天，如果莫斯科也遵守该协议，他将同意“能源停火”。然而，他指责俄罗斯在协议宣布几小时内就无视了该提议的协议。
Zelensky said he had restricted attacks for three days and would agree to the "energy ceasefire" if Moscow also abided by it. However, he accused Russia of ignoring the proposed deal within hours of it being announced.
克里姆林宫从未表示同意该协议，而俄罗斯称基辅也曾在周三试图袭击炼油厂——乌克兰对此予以否认。
The Kremlin never said it had agreed to the deal and Russia said Kyiv had also tried to hit refineries on Wednesday - which Ukraine denied.
泽连斯基还批评了俄罗斯与美国达成的协议，即向美国和全球市场释放30万吨柴油，该协议是在上周达成的，他认为这相当于美国实际上在投资俄罗斯的战争努力。
Zelensky has also criticised the agreement between Russia and the US to release 300,000 tonnes of diesel to the US and global marketplace, struck last week, as the US effectively investing in Russia's war effort.
该协议是特朗普为在美国中期选举前降低燃油价格所做的最新努力，此前他花费数月时间应对伊朗战争的政治后果，而伊朗战争导致燃油成本飙升。
That deal was the latest effort by Trump to lower fuel prices in the US ahead of the midterm elections, after months spent grappling with the political consequences of the Iran war, which has sent fuel costs skyrocketing.
