基辅，乌克兰——乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基拒绝了特朗普政府的呼吁，要求其武装部队停止攻击俄罗斯油炼厂，并对福克斯新闻表示：“我们的回应必须是痛苦的。”在基辅的一次采访中，泽连斯基承认曾与特朗普政府讨论针对油设施的攻击，特朗普总统将此部分归咎于美国高油价。
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is defying calls from the Trump administration for his armed forces to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, telling Fox News: "Our response must be painful." In an interview in Kyiv, Zelenskyy acknowledged holding discussions with the Trump administration about targeting oil facilities, attacks President Donald Trump has pinned as being partly to blame for high gas prices in the U.S.
“我们与特朗普总统及其团队就攻击炼油厂进行了不同的、几次的对话，”泽连斯基说。
"We had different conversations — different, and several — with President Trump and with his team about attacks on refineries," Zelenskyy said.
“我们说，如果你们想让我们不攻击俄罗斯的炼油厂，他们就不攻击我们的能源系统。”乌克兰报告称，俄罗斯几乎每天都对能源基础设施发动袭击，导致在冬季来临前气温下降时出现停电。
"We said that if you want us not to attack Russia's refineries, they have not to attack our energy system." Ukraine has reported near-daily Russian strikes on energy infrastructure, triggering power outages just as temperatures dip ahead of winter.
“这就是为什么我们必须回应。但我们的回应必须让俄罗斯军方感到痛苦，”泽连斯基说。“如果我们不在能源方面回应，他们就会继续。”美国与乌克兰的关系在十月进一步受挫，当时特朗普与俄罗斯签订协议，将数百万吨俄罗斯柴油进口到美国。
"That's why we have to respond. But our response has to be painful for Russian military people," Zelenskyy said. "If we will not respond on energy, they will continue." U.S.-Ukraine relations took a further hit in October when Trump struck a deal to import millions of tons of Russian diesel to the United States.
泽连斯基暗示，如果美国向乌克兰提供更多美国制造的爱国者导弹拦截器来保护乌克兰天空，乌克兰可能会被鼓励暂停对俄罗斯油设施的进一步攻击。福克斯新闻追问这是否可能被视为利用特朗普，泽连斯基表示：“当我与合作伙伴分享真相时，我没有任何顾虑。”
Zelenskyy suggested Ukraine might be encouraged to hold off on further attacks on Russian oil facilities if the United States were to deliver more U.S.-made Patriot missile interceptors to protect Ukrainian skies. Pressed by Fox News on whether that might be seen as an attempt to leverage Trump, Zelenskyy said: "I don't have any concerns when I share the truth between partners."
“我们的国家是巨大的伙伴。美国社会是巨大的支持者。”他补充道。
"Our countries are huge partners. American society (is a) huge supporter."
“这就是为什么我必须与总统分享真相，真实情况：美国无法帮助俄罗斯。总统无法帮助普京。”在计划在阿拉伯联合酋长国举行和平谈判之前，泽连斯基敦促特朗普发起另一轮针对性停火，要求俄罗斯和乌克兰双方停止对能源设施的攻击。
"And that's why I have to share with (the) president the truth, the real situation: that America can't help Russia. (The) president can't help Putin." Ahead of planned peace talks in the United Arab Emirates, Zelenskyy urged Trump to launch another push for a targeted ceasefire where both Russia and Ukraine refrain from attacks on energy facilities.
如果美国总统认为这场战争会影响价格，泽连斯基说，“他可以在阿布扎比三方会议期间提出能源停火。”在俄罗斯控制的奥列什基镇居民因饥饿和疲惫而离开并在第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普斡旋的、四年多战争以来首次的人道主义停火下越过边境进入乌克兰之前，泽连斯基与福克斯新闻通话。
"If the American president thinks that this war has influence on the prices," Zelenskyy said, "he can ask, energy ceasefire, during (the) Abu Dhabi trilateral meeting: energy ceasefire." Zelenskyy spoke with Fox News hours before starved and exhausted residents left the Russian-controlled town of Oleshky and crossed into Ukraine under a humanitarian truce brokered by first lady Melania Trump, the first of its kind in more than four years of war.
泽连斯基欢迎第一夫人的倡议，称这次撤离是“一大成果”，并补充道：“我不知道会有多少类似的步骤可供我们使用，但如果第一夫人能做到……这非常有帮助。我非常感谢她。”
Zelenskyy welcomed the first lady's initiative, calling the evacuations "a huge result," and adding: "I don't know how many such steps will be available for us, but if the First Lady can do it... it's very helpful. I'm very thankful to her."
