美国加大了对名义上盟友的施压力度，作为其推动俄乌战争停火努力的一部分。据《华尔街日报》报道，基辅应华盛顿要求暂停了对俄罗斯炼油厂的打击，华盛顿正试图遏制失控的燃油价格；与此同时，路透社称五角大楼已敦促欧洲领导人缓和其关于俄罗斯侵略威胁的言论。
The US upped the pressure on its ostensible allies as part of its push for a truce in the Russia-Ukraine war. Kyiv has paused its strikes on Russian refineries at the behest of Washington, which is trying to corral runaway fuel prices, The Wall Street Journal reported, while Reuters said the Pentagon had urged European leaders to calm their rhetoric over the threat of Russian aggression.
这些举动发生之际，俄罗斯外长进入美国出席二十国集团外长会议；此前特朗普政府豁免了对俄罗斯能源的新制裁，并与克里姆林宫达成了一项柴油协议——这些决定在欧洲引发不安，欧洲认为华盛顿在无必要地向基辅施压。
The moves come as Russia’s foreign minister entered the US to attend a meeting of G20 foreign ministers, and after the Trump administration waived new sanctions on Russian energy and reached a diesel deal with the Kremlin — decisions met with unease in Europe, which sees Washington as unnecessarily pressuring Kyiv.
