特朗普政府已延迟批准向乌克兰转移其防御俄罗斯导弹和无人机袭击所需的爱国者防空拦截导弹,华盛顿邮报周一援引熟悉情况的美国及其他官员的消息报道称。
The Trump administration has delayed approval for the transfer of Patriot air-defense interceptor missiles needed by Ukraine to defend against Russian missile and drone attacks, The Washington Post reported Monday, citing US and other officials familiar with the matter.
据报道,国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯尚未正式否决拟议的转移,但尚未完成授权所需的步骤。此次延迟发生在特朗普总统与其乌克兰同僚弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基之间关系再度紧张,以及华盛顿与基辅关系整体恶化的背景下。
According to the report, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has not formally rejected the proposed transfers but has yet to complete the required steps to authorize them. The delay comes amid renewed tensions between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a broader deterioration in relations between Washington and Kyiv.
报道援引一位美国官员和三位熟悉情况的人士称,至少部分爱国者拦截导弹的转移来自对乌克兰友好的国家,这些转移需要赫格塞斯批准交付。
At least some of the transfers of Patriot interceptor missiles are from countries friendly to Ukraine that require Hegseth to approve the handoff, the report said, citing a US official and three additional people familiar with the situation.
一名乌克兰官员上周告诉华盛顿邮报,乌克兰在其库存中仅剩下“几枚”爱国者拦截导弹,凸显了对该国防空系统弹药供应的担忧。
A Ukrainian official told The Washington Post the previous week that Ukraine had only “a couple” of Patriot interceptor missiles remaining in its stockpile, underscoring concerns about the availability of ammunition for the country's air-defense systems.
报道指出,赫格塞斯继续批准对乌克兰的部分美国援助,表明延迟的导弹转移不一定代表美国支持的完全中止。
The report noted that Hegseth has continued to approve some US assistance to Ukraine, indicating that the delayed missile transfers do not necessarily represent a complete halt to American support.
报道称,此次延迟发生在特朗普与泽连斯基关系再度紧张之际。特朗普在最近几天多次批评乌克兰总统。
The reported delay comes as relations between Trump and Zelenskyy have again come under strain. Trump has repeatedly criticized the Ukrainian president in recent days, according to the report.
