特朗普的前国家安全顾问约翰·博尔顿周四表示，乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基对特朗普总统说教不会有好结果，“考虑到特朗普在国内面临的艰难政治处境”。在NewsNation的《平衡报道》节目中，博尔顿告诉主持人利兰·维特，泽连斯基批评特朗普不会“对他有好处”。
John Bolton, President Trump’s former national security adviser, said Thursday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lecturing President won’t end well for him, “given Trump’s difficult political position here at home.”Appearing on NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Bolton told host Leland Vittert that Zelensky’s criticism of Trump would “end well” for him.
“嗯，我不这么认为，尤其是考虑到特朗普在国内面临的艰难政治处境，咱们直说吧，特朗普现在所做的一切，无论是与伊朗的战争有关，还是俄乌战争有关，都不是基于美国国家利益的战略计算，”博尔顿说。
“Well, I don’t, especially given Trump’s difficult political position here at home, let’s face it, everything Trump is doing now, whether it’s relating to the war with Iran, whether it’s the Russia-Ukraine war, is not based on strategic calculations of United States national interest,” Bolton said.
“这基于的是对11月3日将发生什么的选举恐惧。所以泽连斯基，第一，根本不在跟特朗普说同一种语言，”他继续说道。“而且，就像我说的，我就是不觉得以这种校园打架的方式跟特朗普较量，能推进任何其他人的利益。”维特随后追问博尔顿，泽连斯基是否在如何“应对”特朗普方面得到了错误建议。
“It’s based on electoral fears about what’s going to happen on November the 3rd. So Zelensky, number one, isn’t even talking the same language as Trump is at this point,” he continued. “And as I say, I just don’t think wrestling with Trump in this kind of schoolyard way ever advances anybody else’s interest.”Vittert followed up by asking Bolton if Zelensky was receiving bad advice on how to “handle” Trump.
“是的，我认为这是真的。我是说，我能理解：泽连斯基很愤怒，也很沮丧。我的建议是，进办公室，关上门，对着墙大喊。对着特朗普大喊只会激怒他，”博尔顿回答说，并补充说，他认为特朗普将乌克兰对俄罗斯炼油厂的打击归咎于柴油价格上涨“简直荒谬”。
“Yeah, I think that’s true. I mean, I can understand: Zelensky’s angry and frustrated. My advice is go into your office, close the door and scream at the wall. Screaming at Trump just eggs him on,” Bolton answered, adding that he believed Trump blaming Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil refineries for rising diesel price “is bonkers.”
博尔顿还批评了特朗普的俄罗斯石油交易，该交易将向美国和全球市场供应30万吨柴油，他说，“这重新使普京政府合法化，而普京政府在为其在乌克兰的行为提出任何合理论据方面一直面临真正的困难。”这位前国家安全顾问的言论是在泽连斯基本周早些时候宣布俄乌能源停火结束之后发表的。据报道，他周四在莫斯科东南部的梁赞地区恢复了对俄罗斯炼油厂的无人机袭击。特朗普周日宣布了停火，他声称克里姆林宫已同意。
Bolton also criticized Trump’s Russian oil deal which would supply 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and global marketplace, saying, “it re-legitimizes the Putin government, which has had real difficulty trying to present any kind of legitimate case for what it’s doing in Ukraine.”The former national security adviser’s remarks come after Zelensky announced earlier this week that the Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire was over. He reportedly resumed drone attacks on Russian refineries Thursday in the Ryazan region, southeast of Moscow. Trump unveiled the truce on Sunday which he claimed the Kremlin agreed to.
路透社报道，基辅称周日之后俄罗斯违反了停火协议，继续对乌克兰发动袭击，但特朗普对记者说：“我稍后会告诉你们。”“他们正在互相攻击，但这一切都会结束。他们都希望结束，只是不知道如何实现，”他补充道。
Kyiv alleged after Sunday Russia had broken the ceasefire, continuing strikes against Ukraine, according to Reuters, but Trump told reporters, “I’ll let you know about that later.”“They’re hitting each other, but it’ll all come to an end. They both want it to come to an end, they just don’t know how to get there,” he added.
俄罗斯总统普京和特朗普预计将于12月在佛罗里达州的二十国集团峰会上与其他世界领导人会面。泽连斯基在9月接受德国之声采访时表示，他愿意出席峰会以便与普京会面。
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump are expected to meet with other world leaders in December at the G20 summit in Florida. Zelensky stated in a September interview with DW he was willing to attend the summit in order to meet with Putin.
