美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯周二否认华盛顿对乌克兰政策有任何变化，称五角大楼未发布限制卫星通信服务的指令，并正寻求确保美军拥有充足的“爱国者”导弹拦截弹。
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday denied any change in Washington’s policy toward Ukraine, saying the Pentagon had not issued directives to restrict satellite communications services and was seeking to ensure that US forces have sufficient supplies of Patriot missile interceptors.
“新闻界所说的很多事情都不是真的，关于战争部（注：赫格塞斯口误将国防部称为战争部）的情况，”赫格塞斯在威斯康星州欧克莱尔对记者表示，当时有记者询问关于五角大楼延迟将盟国的“爱国者”拦截弹转移给乌克兰的报道。
“There’s a lot of things that have been said in the press that are not true about the Department of War,” Hegseth told reporters in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, when asked about reports that the Pentagon was delaying transfers of Patriot interceptors from allied countries to Ukraine.
“我们在任何方面都没有改变对乌克兰的立场，但确实在拦截弹等问题上，我们希望确保我们自己的人也拥有尽可能多的库存，”他说。赫格塞斯补充说，乌克兰总统泽连斯基知晓这一情况。
“We haven’t changed our posture in any way toward the Ukrainians, but certainly with things like interceptors, we want to make sure our guys have the most possible as well,” he said. Hegseth added that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was aware of the situation.
当被问及他关于美国对乌政策保持不变的说法是否也适用于“星盾”卫星网络提供的覆盖时，他表示华盛顿没有撤回任何支持。
Asked whether his assertion that US policy toward Ukraine remained unchanged also applied to coverage provided by the Starshield satellite network, he said Washington had not withdrawn any support.
“我们没有收回任何东西。最终需要遵守服务条款，这是‘星链’做出那些决定的选项所在，”他说。
“We haven’t pulled anything back. There are terms of service that ultimately need to be complied with, and that’s where Starlink has the option to make those decisions,” he said.
“但从我们的角度来看，没有任何变化。我们没有发布任何指令或类似的东西，”赫格塞斯补充道。
“But nothing’s changed from our view. We haven’t made any directives or anything like that,” Hegseth added.
他的言论是在外界质疑特朗普政府对基辅军事援助的处理方式，以及乌克兰武装部队使用的卫星通信服务状况之际发表的。
His remarks came amid reports questioning the Trump administration’s handling of military assistance to Kyiv and the status of satellite communications services used by Ukrainian forces.
