美国国务卿马可·卢比奥表示，作为星链卫星服务军用版本的“星盾”目前对乌克兰不可用，但基辅要求接入该系统以便对俄罗斯腹地发动袭击的请求“正在讨论中”。
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said Starshield the military-grade version of the Starlink satellite service, is currently unavailable to Ukraine, but a request from Kyiv to access the system for attacks deep inside Russia is “under discussion”.
周六在对记者发表讲话时，卢比奥强调了“星盾”与埃隆·马斯克旗下的太空探索技术公司提供的互联网服务“星链”的区别。
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Rubio stressed Starshield’s distinction with Starlink, the internet service provided by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
根据美国国务院发布的讲话内容，卢比奥说：“星链是一个商业产品，对吧？所以它作为商业产品受到监管和处理。‘星盾’是一个国防产品，一个军事产品。”
“Starlink is a commercial product, okay? And so it’s regulated and handled as a commercial product. Starshield is a defence product, a military product,” said Rubio, in comments released by the Department of State.
他补充说：“他们已经要求接入该系统，以便在俄罗斯境内进行纵深打击。他们目前无法接入。这正在对话中。”“星盾”于2022年推出并提供给美国政府，专为军事用途设计，可进行更深层的加密以处理敏感信息。太空探索技术公司表示，该系统主要由美国国防机构和其他“政府伙伴”使用。
“They’ve asked for access to it in order to conduct deep strikes inside of Russia. They do not have access to it at this moment,” he added. “That’s under conversation.”Launched in 2022 and provided to the US government, Starshield is designed for military use as it allows for deeper encryption to process sensitive information. SpaceX says it is primarily used by US defence agencies and other “government partners”.
上周，乌克兰官员表示，在乌克兰试图挡住俄罗斯军队在其长达近五年的战争中的进攻之际，对星链终端的限制已经放慢了战场上一些无人机的速度。
Last week, Ukrainian officials said restrictions on Starlink terminals had slowed some drones on the battlefield, as Ukraine tries to hold back Russian forces in their nearly five-year war.
在马里兰州安德鲁斯联合基地发表讲话时，卢比奥还反驳了乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基关于周三乌克兰星链服务受到的据报中断是蓄意制造的说法。
In his comments at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, Rubio also rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s suggestion that the reported disruption to Starlink services in Ukraine on Wednesday was deliberate.
卢比奥说：“好吧，我不知道泽连斯基说了什么。我不确定泽连斯基是否知道他在说什么，但这绝不是蓄意的。我们与此毫无关系。”
“Well, I don’t know what Zelenskyy said. I’m not sure Zelenskyy knows what he’s talking about, but it wasn’t deliberate. We have nothing to do with that,” Rubio said.
泽连斯基周六表示，这些卫星没有追踪飞行速度超过每小时161公里（每小时100英里）的飞行物上的天线。他补充说，这正在影响乌克兰无人机防御俄罗斯喷气动力无人机以及乌克兰自己的中程袭击。
Zelenskyy said on Saturday that the satellites are not tracking antennas on flying objects travelling faster than 161 kilometres per hour (100 miles per hour). This is affecting Ukrainian drones in their defence against Russian jet-powered drones and in their own medium-range attacks, he added.
卢比奥表示，美国并未下令降低星链速度，且据报该服务已恢复至先前的水平。
Rubio said the US had not ordered Starlink speeds to be reduced and that the service had reportedly been restored to its previous level.
他说：“白宫没有人命令任何人降低互联网速度或降低网速，以至于某些无人机无法使用它，”并称这些报道“绝对是虚假的”。
“No one at the White House ordered anyone to slow down internet or slow down speed so that certain drones couldn’t use it,” he said, calling the reports “categorically false”.
此前，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在解除对俄罗斯以及购买其石油和天然气的国家的制裁几天后，遭到民主党和共和党人的批评。这些制裁原本定于他上个月签署的一项法律生效之日实施。
The remarks came as US President Donald Trump drew criticism from Democrats and Republicans after waiving sanctions on Russia and countries that buy its oil and gas, days before the restrictions were due to take effect under a law he signed last month.
泽连斯基周六也对制裁豁免提出了批评，称放松对俄罗斯的施压将鼓励更多的袭击。
Zelenskyy also criticised the sanctions waiver on Saturday, saying easing pressure on Russia would encourage further attacks.
泽连斯基在社交媒体上发文称：“对普京总统的经济回报——所有这一切只会鼓励他继续发动袭击，”并敦促美国保持对莫斯科的压力。
“Financial rewards for [President Vladimir] Putin – all of this only encourages him to keep attacking,” Zelenskyy posted on social media, urging the US to maintain pressure on Moscow.
