加拿大总理马克·卡尼表示，他对SpaceX“星链”卫星系统被操纵、导致乌克兰自卫更加困难感到担忧，并指出据报道埃隆·马斯克的介入，凸显了他致力于减少加拿大对任何单一国家或技术依赖的原因。
Mark Carney said he’s concerned about the manipulation of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite system that has made it harder for Ukraine to defend itself, and suggested Elon Musk’s reported involvement shows why he’s focused on making Canada less dependent on any one country or technology.
《华尔街日报》本周报道称，马斯克下令对军用级“星链”限速，削弱了乌克兰国防部队在对抗俄罗斯的战斗中的能力。该报还称，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普曾致电马斯克，要求他解除这些限制。
The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Musk ordered speed limits on the military-grade version of Starlink, hampering the ability of Ukraine’s defense forces in the battle against Russia. The Journal also said US President Donald Trump called Musk to ask him to lift those restrictions.
“无论是谁做出了这个决定，或者是一群人做出了这个决定，针对一个国家——而且是针对一个正在为公民生命而对抗赤裸裸侵略的国家——我都在寻找合适的形容词来形容，”卡尼周五在伊斯坦布尔对记者说。“所以我们担心吗？是的，我们很担心。”卡尼表示，这一事件说明了为什么他的政府专注于使加拿大的贸易关系多元化，包括在技术领域，以增强国家主权。
“I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision, or a group of people took this decision, against a country — and it’s against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression,” the Canadian prime minister told reporters in Istanbul on Friday. “So are we concerned? Yes, we are concerned.”Carney said the incident shows why his government is focused on diversifying Canada’s trading relationships, including in technology, to bolster the country’s sovereignty.
“作为加拿大人，我们不希望陷入这样一种境地：我们依赖单一供应商，而该供应商可能改变立场，或被某个民族国家强迫改变立场，从而让加拿大人面临风险或损害我们的主权，”卡尼说。
“We as Canadians do not want to be caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider that may change their view, or may be forced to change their view by one nation state, that puts Canadians at risk or compromises our sovereignty,” Carney said.
但他表示，多元化进程需要时间，因为“我们的起点是高度、高度依赖某些国家的某些系统。”基辅依赖一种版本的“星链”来协助其防空和炮击定位。随着俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京对乌克兰城市发动一波又一波的无人机和导弹袭击，它已成为一项至关重要的通信基础设施。
But the process of diversifying will take time because “we’re starting from a position where we’re highly, highly reliant on certain systems in certain countries.”Kyiv depends on a version of Starlink to help its air defenses and target artillery strikes. It’s a crucial piece of communications infrastructure as Russian President Vladimir Putin has been launching a wave of drone and missile strikes against Ukrainian cities.
卡尼此行是加拿大总理首次对土耳其进行正式访问，也是其政府拓宽加拿大外交和贸易关系努力的一部分，因为美国关税持续冲击加拿大部分产业。
Carney’s trip is the first official visit of a Canadian prime minister to Turkey, and is part of his government’s effort to broaden Canada’s diplomatic and trading relationships as US tariffs continue to hurt some of its industries.
与此同时，据《政治报》报道，欧盟正准备要求加拿大和英国增加对乌克兰的支持，以帮助弥补资金缺口。
Meanwhile, the European Union is preparing to ask Canada and the United Kingdom to increase their support for Ukraine to help with a funding shortfall, according to a report from Politico.
卡尼表示，加拿大“不需要欧盟提出这些要求”，他的政府直接与乌克兰打交道，并补充说他在过去一周内曾与泽连斯基总统通话，其中包括讨论“星链”情况。
Carney said that Canada “doesn’t need the EU to make those requests” and that his government deals with Ukraine directly, adding that he spoke to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy within the past week, including about the Starlink situation.
