华盛顿 - 乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基11月1日表示，如果华盛顿向基辅提供强大的“爱国者”拦截导弹，乌克兰将停止袭击俄罗斯炼油厂——这是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的一项关键要求。
WASHINGTON - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Nov 1 that his country would stop hitting Russian oil refineries – a key demand of US President Donald Trump – if Washington provided Kyiv with powerful Patriot interceptor missiles.
特朗普正在国内与通胀作斗争，通胀在很大程度上是由飙升的能源价格推动的，而能源价格上涨又是由他对伊朗的战争以及俄乌冲突助长的。他要求这两个欧洲对手停止袭击彼此的能源设施。
Trump, battling inflation at home driven in large part by soaring energy prices fuelled by his war on Iran and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, has demanded the European foes stop attacking each other’s energy sites.
泽连斯基11月1日在接受美国广播公司福克斯新闻采访时表示，他已与特朗普及其团队就该问题进行了“不同且多次”的对话。
Speaking to US broadcaster Fox News on Nov 1, Zelensky said he had had “different and several” conversations with Trump and his team about the issue.
“我们要求，在俄罗斯袭击我们的能源、杀害我们的人民、袭击我们的电力、天然气、炼油厂、袭击一切之后，我们不能不做出回应，”他对福克斯新闻主持人特雷·英格斯特说。
“We asked that we can’t not respond after Russia’s attack on our energy, after Russia is killing our people, attacks on our electricity, gas, refineries, on everything,” he told Fox News host Trey Yingst.
“我们说，如果你们希望我们不攻击俄罗斯的炼油厂，它们就不得攻击我们的能源系统。另一种选择，给我们‘爱国者’导弹，我们会找钱，而不仅仅是援助。”泽连斯基表示，如果华盛顿提供一个月的导弹系统，基辅将在同一时期内停止袭击俄罗斯炼油厂。
“We said that if you want us not to attack Russia’s refineries, they have not to attack our energy system. Another alternative, give us Patriot missiles, we will find money, not just aid.”Zelensky said if Washington provided the missile systems for one month, Kyiv would cease attacks on Russian refineries for the same period.
“爱国者”导弹是乌克兰拦截俄罗斯无人机和导弹最重要的武器之一。
Patriot missiles are among the most important weapons Ukraine has to intercept Russian drones and missiles.
当被问及是否担心这会被视为试图“施加影响力”于特朗普时，泽连斯基给出了否定回答。“当我在合作伙伴之间分享真相时，我没有任何顾虑，”他说。
Asked if he was concerned that this would be seen as trying to “leverage” Trump, Zelensky answered in the negative. “I don’t have any concerns when I share the truth between partners,” he said.
国务院表示，特朗普政府于10月30日批准向乌克兰出售500枚“爱国者”导弹，但乌克兰总统警告，交付可能需要数年时间。乌克兰当局已警告数周，其拦截导弹库存正在减少。
The Trump administration on Oct 30 green-lit the sale of 500 Patriot missiles to Ukraine, the State Department said, but the Ukrainian president warned deliveries could take years. Ukrainian authorities have been warning for weeks that their supplies of the interceptor missiles were dwindling.
上周，泽连斯基建议，美国和欧洲盟友可从其库存中向乌克兰提供导弹，随后通过10月30日批准的新采购进行补充。
Last week, Zelensky suggested that US and European allies could give his country missiles from their stockpiles, which would later be replenished by the new purchase authorized on Oct 30.
乌克兰官员表示，俄乌战争中持续时间最长的停火协议（仅限于东部赫尔松地区）于11月1日结束，此前俄罗斯拒绝了延长停火的提议。
The longest truce of the Ukraine war, limited to the eastern Kherson region, ended on Nov 1 after Russia refused the offer of an extension, Ukrainian officials said.
美国斡旋的俄乌谈判定于本月恢复，此前因美国和以色列于2月对伊朗发动联合打击，谈判实际上已处于冻结状态。
US-mediated talks between Russia and Ukraine are set to resume this month, having been effectively frozen since the United States and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran in February.
