乌克兰于周五早些时候打击了俄罗斯萨马拉地区的的一座炼油厂，结束了在特朗普政府要求停止此类行动的巨大压力下对炼油厂攻击为期两周的暂停。
Ukraine struck an oil refinery in Russia’s Samara region early on Friday, ending a two-week pause in refinery attacks that came amid heavy pressure from the Trump administration to halt such operations.
社交媒体上发布的照片和视频显示，新古比雪夫斯克炼油厂上空升起缕缕浓烟。
Photos and video footage posted on social media showed columns of smoke rising into the sky over the Novokuibyshevsk refinery.
乌克兰军队上一次打击炼油厂是在10月15日，自10月20日以来一直没有打击过任何形式的俄罗斯石油基础设施。此次暂停发生的背景是特朗普和其他美国官员一再要求停止打击炼油厂。
Ukrainian forces last hit an oil refinery on Oct. 15, and had not struck Russian oil infrastructure of any kind since Oct. 20. The pause took place against a background of repeated demands by Trump and other U.S. officials to stop hitting refineries.
特朗普曾公开将全球高油价归咎于乌克兰的打击，而能源专家大多将高油价归咎于美伊战争。本月早些时候，特朗普还呼吁让泽连斯基下台，并将其归咎于俄罗斯对乌克兰持续的战争。
Trump has publicly blamed Ukraine’s strikes for high global fuel prices, which energy experts mostly attribute to the U.S.-Iran war. Earlier this month Trump also called for Zelensky’s removal earlier this month and blamed him for Russia’s continuing war on Ukraine.
基辅还面临着埃隆·马斯克的SpaceX公司的压力，该公司于10月14日对乌克兰军用版星链卫星互联网服务实施了限速。限速导致一些无人机行动瘫痪了10天，直到10月24日SpaceX恢复了该服务。
Kyiv also came under pressure from Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which on Oct. 14 imposed speed limits on Ukraine’s military-grade version of the Starlink satellite internet service. The speed limit paralyzed some drone operations for 10 days, until SpaceX restored the service on Oct. 24.
据一位知情人士透露，乌克兰国防部长叶夫根尼·赫马拉最近告诉总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基，由于与美国的微妙外交局势，乌克兰军方在打击炼油厂方面一直保持谨慎。该知情人士称，泽连斯基接受了这一点，但表示军方可以自由改变立场。
Ukraine’s military has been exercising caution about refinery strikes because of the delicate diplomatic situation with the U.S., Ukraine’s Defense Minister Evgeniy Khmara told President Volodymyr Zelensky recently, according to a person familiar with the matter. Zelensky accepted this but said the military was free to change its stance, the person said.
泽连斯基周二在基辅对记者表示：“我们的队员在这些天里尽量更加小心。但他们没有不打击炼油厂的命令。”
“Our guys tried to be a little more careful during these days. But they do not have an order” not to hit refineries, Zelensky told reporters in Kyiv on Tuesday.
尽管欧洲盟友建议基辅在美国中期选举之后再采取行动，以缓解泽连斯基与特朗普最近的紧张关系，但乌克兰仍作出了打击新古比雪夫斯克的决定。
The decision to hit Novokuibyshevsk came despite advice from European allies for Kyiv to hold off until after the U.S. midterm elections, to reduce the recent tensions between Zelensky and Trump.
泽连斯基曾表示，乌克兰希望为其自身的能源基础设施获得更多保护——俄罗斯一直在冬季来临前用导弹和无人机袭击系统性地摧毁这些基础设施——作为停止打击炼油厂的交换条件。
Zelensky has said Ukraine wants more protection for its own energy infrastructure—which Russia has been systematically destroying with missile and drone attacks ahead of winter—in exchange for halting refinery strikes.
乌克兰针对俄罗斯炼油厂的行动旨在破坏资助莫斯科入侵其较小邻国的石油收入。基辅担心，停止这些行动将使俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京能够延长他对乌克兰的毁灭性战争。
Ukraine’s campaign against Russian refineries has been aimed at undermining oil revenues that help finance Moscow’s invasion of its smaller neighbor. Kyiv fears that ending them would allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to prolong his devastating war on Ukraine.
