马可·鲁比奥表示,SpaceX 和埃隆·马斯克掌控着乌克兰 Starlink 接入权的决策。他的言论加剧了关于谁应为据报的 Starshield 降速负责的质疑。
Marco Rubio said SpaceX and Elon Musk control decisions over Ukraine's Starlink access. His remarks sharpened questions about responsibility for the reported Starshield slowdown.
《华尔街日报》报道称,埃隆·马斯克下令降低乌克兰 Starlink 速度,唐纳德·特朗普知情。
The WSJ has reported that Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of Starlink in Ukraine and Donald Trump knew of the move.
美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥周三表示,关于乌克兰使用 Starlink 的决定权在于其母公司 SpaceX 和埃隆·马斯克,而非白宫,这番言论暗示马斯克可能限制了基辅对该服务的使用。
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that decisions regarding Ukraine's access to Starlink were up to its parent company SpaceX and Elon Musk, not the White House, comments that suggested Musk may have restricted Kyiv's access to the service.
《华尔街日报》周二报道称,马斯克下令降低 Starshield 的速度,Starshield 是 Starlink 的军用版本,乌克兰依靠它来防御俄罗斯的导弹袭击。
The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that Musk had ordered the slowdown of Starshield, a military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relies on to defend itself against missile attacks from Russia.
该报援引一名知情人士称,SpaceX 首席执行官马斯克、总统唐纳德·特朗普和白宫官员事先曾讨论过此事,并援引两名知情人士称,降速发生后几天内,马斯克和总统曾讨论过此事。
The Journal cited one person saying that SpaceX CEO Musk, President Donald Trump and White House officials discussed the matter beforehand, and two people saying that Musk and the president discussed the matter in the days after the slowdown.
鲁比奥在访问印度期间对记者说:“我不了解我们是否事先知情这一决定。但这无关紧要。”
"I'm not aware that we knew about this decision beforehand. But that's irrelevant," Rubio told reporters during a trip to India.
“根本问题是,这受一份私人商业合同管辖,规定了他们的设备如何使用以及允许以何种速度使用。”马斯克和 SpaceX 未回应置评请求。
"The bottom line is that that is governed by a private commercial contract as to how their stuff can be used and what speeds they'll allow it to be used at." Musk and SpaceX did not respond to requests for comment.
特朗普周三被记者问及马斯克是否下令降速时表示:“我不知道是谁干的,但我没有参与。”路透社援引两名美国官员和一名知情西方官员的话称,该决定最终来自白宫。乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基也持这一说法,但遭政府否认。
Trump, asked by reporters on Wednesday whether Musk ordered the slowdown, said: "I don't know who did it, but I was not involved." Reuters has cited two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter, saying the decision ultimately came from the White House. This version was also asserted by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but denied by the administration.
鲁比奥的言论可能会加剧华盛顿对马斯克影响美国外交政策能力的担忧。这也代表政府立场的明显转变。
Rubio's comments are likely to intensify concerns in Washington regarding Musk's ability to influence US foreign policy. They also represent an apparent shift in position for the administration.
特朗普此前曾公开表示,他认为自己和马斯克都不是导致减速的幕后黑手。鲁比奥周六启程前往乌兹别克斯坦和印度访问时曾表示,没有人下令减速,这一说法引来了两党议员的批评。
Trump has previously said publicly he believed neither he nor Musk was behind the slowdown. Departing for a trip to Uzbekistan and India on Saturday, Rubio had said no one ordered the slowdown, an assertion that drew criticism from lawmakers in both parties.
“我不确定泽连斯基是否知道自己在说什么,但这不是故意的,”鲁比奥当时说。
"I'm not sure Zelenskiy knows what he's talking about, but it wasn't deliberate," Rubio said at the time.
“我们与此事无关。我不——美国,没有人下令降低星链速度。这只是发生了,但我了解到的情况是已经恢复了,”鲁比奥说。
"We have nothing to do with that. I don't – the United States, nobody ordered that Starlink speed to be slowed down. It sort of happened, but my understanding is it's been restored," Rubio said.
参议院民主党人认为代表团面临风险 一名参议院民主党助手表示,星盾减速发生在10月13日至16日一个两党美国国会代表团访问基辅期间,使该团体中的美国议员和工作人员以及现场的230名美国人员面临风险。
SENATE DEMOCRATS SEE RISKS TO DELEGATION A Senate Democratic aide said the Starshield slowdown, which occurred during an October 13-16 visit to Kyiv by a bipartisan US congressional delegation, put US lawmakers and staff in the group at risk, along with 230 US personnel on the ground.
该助手称,俄罗斯现在正在使用喷气式动力版本的“见证者”无人机,飞行速度可达每小时280英里(450公里)或更快,这需要更快的防御无人机才能进行有效防御。
Russia was now using jet-powered versions of the Shahed drones that could fly at 280 miles per hour (450 km/hour) or faster, which required faster defensive drones to mount an adequate defence, the aide said.
“这是一个基本的数学问题。如果有一个以每小时280英里的速度飞向你的物体,你无法用时速100英里的东西来拦截它,”该助手指出,基辅在减速的第一晚损失了大量空中资产。
"It's a basic math problem. If you have a 280-mph object coming towards you, you are not going to be able to counter it with something that goes 100 mph," the aide said, noting Kyiv had lost a lot of air assets the first night of the slowdown.
目前,美国数据传输出现问题,安全援助传输放缓,导致无人机威胁到工作人员和代表团成员前往官方掩体的能力,该助手说。
At the moment, problems with transmission of US data and a slowdown in transmission of security assistance meant that drones were jeopardising the ability of the staff and delegation members to get to official shelters, the aide said.
周二,五角大楼负责人皮特·赫格塞斯在与记者交谈时,也将星链切断描述为商业事务。然而,没有美国官员公开表示他们已推动SpaceX扭转任何切断措施。
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth also portrayed the Starlink cutoff as a commercial matter. No US official has publicly said, however, that they have pushed SpaceX to reverse any cutoffs.
“最终需要遵守服务条款,这就是星链拥有做出这些决定的选择权的地方,”赫格塞斯说。
"There are terms of service that ultimately need to be complied to, and that's where Starlink has the option to make those decisions," Hegseth said.
一个重要的困惑点在于SpaceX的“星盾”(Starshield)与“星链”(Starlink)产品之间的区别。“星盾”本质上是为五角大楼开发的“星链”军用版本。
One significant point of confusion relates to the difference between SpaceX's Starshield and Starlink products. Starshield is essentially a military-grade version of Starlink developed for the Pentagon.
鲁比奥周六表示,乌克兰最初从未获得过“星盾”的使用权,而泽连斯基则称,乌克兰的“星链”和“星盾”均已中断。
Rubio suggested on Saturday that Ukraine never had access to Starshield in the first place, while Zelenskyy has said that both Starlink and Starshield in Ukraine have been disrupted.
