德国总理弗里德里希·默茨周六指责俄罗斯试图破坏德国稳定，警告称莫斯科对欧洲安全构成了日益严重的威胁。
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Saturday accused Russia of seeking to destabilize Germany, warning that Moscow poses a growing threat to European security.
他在慕尼黑举行的基督教社会联盟会议上表示：‘我们正面临来自欧洲东部的大规模威胁。俄罗斯对乌克兰的侵略战争严重动摇了欧洲的和平秩序。’他还补充说：‘俄罗斯每天都试图破坏德国的稳定。’
“We are facing a massive threat in the east of our continent. Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has profoundly shaken the European peace order,” Merz said at a convention of the co-ruling Christian Social Union in Munich. “And we also see that Russia seeks to destabilize Germany, day in and day out,” he added.
默茨警告称，这种威胁不仅限于乌克兰，还包括网络攻击、破坏活动以及对欧洲关键基础设施的袭击企图。‘这种威胁已不再局限于乌克兰。
在整个欧洲，我们都在目睹网络攻击、破坏活动以及对关键基础设施的袭击企图，比如8月4日莱比锡机场发生的事件，以及试图破坏我们民主社会的行为。’
Merz warned that the threat extends beyond Ukraine, citing cyberattacks, sabotage and attempted attacks on critical infrastructure across Europe. “This threat is no longer limited to Ukraine. Across Europe, we are witnessing cyberattacks, sabotage, attempted attacks against critical infrastructure, such as the one at Leipzig Airport on August 4th, and attempts to destabilize our democratic society,” he said.
他强调：‘所有这些都在威胁我们的自由，因此我们正在努力维护我们的自由。’
“All of this threatens our freedom, and that is why we are investing in preserving our freedom,” he added.
此前，德国联邦情报局局长马丁·雅格曾警告称，德国有可能卷入与俄罗斯的暴力冲突。
His remarks followed an earlier warning by Germany’s foreign intelligence chief about the risk of the country becoming involved in a violent conflict with Russia.
10月5日，雅格向议会情报委员会表示，与俄罗斯的对抗已进入一个更加危险的新阶段。他说：‘德国有可能卷入与俄罗斯的暴力冲突。莱比锡发生的袭击事件只是其中一个例子。’
On Oct. 5, Federal Intelligence Service President Martin Jaeger told parliament’s intelligence committee that the confrontation with Russia had entered a new and more dangerous phase. “Germany is in danger of becoming embroiled in a violent conflict with Russia. The attempted attack in Leipzig is only one example of that,” Jaeger said, referring to an attempted drone strike on a Ukrainian cargo plane in August.
他还指出：‘目前没有其他国家对德国构成如此直接、全面和具体的威胁。’
“No other country currently poses such a direct, comprehensive and concrete threat to Germany,” he added.
