乌克兰官员表示，如果他们收到适当的情报，这些袭击本可以避免——但只有无线电静默。多位知情人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻部透露，美国官员声称他们的防御系统因“恶劣天气”未能探测到导弹，但基辅方面不买账。
Ukrainian officials suggested that the strikes could have been prevented if they received the proper intelligence—but there was only radio silence. Multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News that U.S. officials claimed their defense systems had failed to detect the missiles because of “bad weather,” but Kyiv did not buy the excuse.
这一情报失误发生在特朗普与俄罗斯总统普京达成一项引人注目的协议、从莫斯科购买柴油几天之后，这实际上为俄罗斯提供了一条经济生命线，使其能够继续战争。乌克兰总统泽连斯基公开批评该安排，引发了一场持续数天的骚扰行动，特朗普政府致电基辅和其他欧洲首都，威胁除非乌克兰停止袭击俄罗斯炼油厂，否则将切断军事情报共享和武器交付。
The intelligence blunder occurred days after Trump brokered an eyebrow-raising deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to buy diesel from Moscow, effectively offering the country an economic lifeline that would allow Russia to continue the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was publicly critical of the arrangement, sparking a multiday harassment campaign in which the Trump administration called Kyiv and other European capitals, threatening to cut off military intelligence sharing and weapons deliveries unless Ukraine stopped attacking Russian oil refineries.
白宫对星链的影响力似乎比总统所言更大。六位前美国高级官员周五表示，拜登和特朗普政府此前都曾要求SpaceX调整其星链互联网在不同国家的可用性，包括乌克兰和中东地区。
The White House’s influence over Starlink appears to be greater than the president lets on. Six former senior U.S. officials told Friday that both the Biden and Trump administrations had previously asked SpaceX to adjust its Starlink internet availability in different countries, including Ukraine and areas of the Middle East.
