三位资深众议院民主党人周一承诺将推动立法，以加强美国对乌克兰的支持，批评总统唐纳德·特朗普对俄罗斯的政策，并警告称减少援助可能削弱乌克兰抵御俄罗斯侵略的能力。
Three senior House Democrats pledged Monday to pursue legislation to strengthen US support for Ukraine, criticizing President Donald Trump’s approach to Russia and warning that reduced assistance could undermine Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russian aggression.
众议员格雷戈里·W·米克斯、亚当·史密斯和吉姆·海姆斯在乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基与两党国会议员小组通话后发表联合声明。
Representatives Gregory W. Meeks, Adam Smith and Jim Himes issued a joint statement following a call between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a bipartisan group of members of Congress.
“美国国会坚定而毫不含糊地站在乌克兰一边。俄罗斯持续的战争罪行运动及其对无辜平民的屠杀，在特朗普政府亲普京议程的助长下，要求国会采取紧急而有力的行动，以重申这种支持，”他们表示。
"The United States Congress stands strongly and unequivocally with Ukraine. Russia's continued campaign of war crimes and its slaughtering of innocent civilians, aided by the Trump Administration’s pro-Putin agenda, demands urgent and forceful action from Congress to reaffirm that support," they said.
这些议员认为，国会应在制定美国对乌克兰政策方面发挥更积极作用，断言政府当前的做法无法被依赖以维持基辅所需的支援水平。
The lawmakers argued that Congress should take a more active role in determining US policy toward Ukraine, asserting that the administration’s current approach cannot be relied upon to maintain the level of support Kyiv requires.
“虽然唐纳德·特朗普已明确表示他正在放弃乌克兰，转而支持（俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔）普京，但我们仍致力于与两党国会议员紧急合作，推动立法，迫使特朗普政府向乌克兰提供其防御人民免受普京残暴非法入侵所需的安全、经济和情报支持，”议员们表示。他们主张削弱乌克兰自卫能力不会带来持久和平协议。
“While Donald Trump has made clear that he is abandoning Ukraine in favor of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, we remain committed to working urgently with Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to advance legislation to compel the Trump Administration to deliver to Ukraine the security, economic, and intelligence support it needs to defend its people from Putin’s brutal and illegal invasion,” the lawmakers said. They argued that reducing Ukraine’s capacity to defend itself would not lead to a lasting peace agreement.
“特朗普政府已经表明，它不能被信任去在乌克兰问题上做正确的事，”他们说，认为削弱基辅的防御既在道德上错误，也违背美国及其盟友的利益。
“The Trump Administration has shown it cannot be trusted to do the right thing in support of Ukraine,” they said, contending that weakening Kyiv’s defenses would be both morally wrong and contrary to US interests and those of its allies.
“国会必须行动，做这届政府拒绝做的事情：支持乌克兰，捍卫美国的利益，并明确表明专制侵略不会得到奖励，”他们表示。
"Congress must act and do what this administration refuses to do: Stand up for Ukraine, defend America's interests, and make clear that autocratic aggression will not be rewarded," they said.
