乌克兰及其欧洲盟友周三在布鲁塞尔与美国官员举行会谈，讨论该国经济复苏及战争所需资金，此前数小时，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普领导的共和党在中期选举中遭遇惨败。
Ukraine and its European allies discussed the country’s economic recovery and funding requirements for its war effort during talks with US officials, hours after President Donald Trump’s Republican Party suffered a drubbing in the midterm elections.
周三在布鲁塞尔举行的会议拉开了磋商序幕，随后将于11月10日起在阿布扎比进行为期两天的美国主导的与俄罗斯会谈。乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，他单独与白宫特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和贾里德·库什纳（特朗普女婿）进行了“非常详细”的通话。
泽连斯基在X平台发文称：“谈判必须全速推进，以尽快结束这场战争。乌克兰已准备好采取必要步骤。我们的提议很明确，并已提交给美方。”
The Wednesday meeting in Brussels kicked off a round of consultations ahead of two days of US-led talks with Russia in Abu Dhabi starting on Nov. 10. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he separately had a “very detailed” call with White House envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law.“The negotiations must move forward at full throttle to bring this war to an end as quickly as possible,” Zelenskyy wrote in a post on X. “Ukraine is ready to take the necessary steps. Our proposals are clear, and we have given them to the American side.”
率领乌克兰代表团参会的外情局局长鲁斯捷姆·乌梅罗夫在社交媒体发文称，官员们讨论了一个所谓的“繁荣计划”，该计划“将界定我们战后如何重建乌克兰、吸引投资，并为经济增长创造机会”。美国官员：美俄乌三方会谈将在中期选举后于阿布扎比举行乌梅罗夫还表示，乌克兰“提交了我们对明年战争所需资金的测算：需要多少资金、需要弥补多少赤字，以及哪些来源可以提供资金。”
Rustem Umerov, the head of Ukraine’s foreign intelligence service who led the country’s delegation in the talks, said in a social media post that officials discussed a so-called prosperity plan that “will define how we rebuild Ukraine after the war, attract investment, and create opportunities for our economy to grow.”Trilateral talks among US, Russia and Ukraine to take place in Abu Dhabi after midterms: US officialUmerov also said Ukraine “presented our calculations for next year’s war effort: how much funding is needed, what deficit we need to cover, and which sources could provide it.”
目前尚不清楚美国中期选举结果将如何影响特朗普结束这场已进入第五年的战争的努力——此前他斡旋和平的尝试均告失败。
It wasn’t immediately clear how the US midterm vote results are going to impact Trump’s efforts to end the war — now well into its fifth year — after his earlier attempts to broker peace failed.
在投票前，特朗普通过一项有争议的柴油交易和制裁豁免向莫斯科示好，试图降低因伊朗战争而推高的能源价格。
Ahead of the vote, Trump courted Moscow with a controversial diesel deal and a sanctions waiver, in an effort to lower energy prices pushed up by the war in Iran.
特朗普与泽连斯基还发生过公开争执，乌克兰领导人指责美国导致SpaceX“星链”卫星互联网速度放缓，使拦截俄罗斯弹药变得更加困难。
Trump and Zelenskyy also had a public feud, with the Ukrainian leader blaming the US for a slowdown in SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet speeds that made it more difficult to intercept Russian projectiles.
他还表示，爱国者防空拦截弹的发货出现了延迟。泽连斯基在周三的帖子中强调需要更多爱国者系统，但也补充说：“乌克兰感谢美国对乌克兰独立、我们的人民以及外交努力的支持。”据称，在布鲁塞尔举行的会议包括来自美国、乌克兰、德国、法国和英国的代表团，以及北约和世界银行的代表团。一位知情人士告诉彭博社，库什纳在线参会。白宫没有立即回应置评请求。
欧盟委员会周三在其网站发布的声明中说：“今天及未来的工作重点是完善乌克兰战后经济发展和繁荣的情景。这包括确定能够支持乌克兰未来发展和自身努力的工具和手段。”
He also said there had been delays in shipments of Patriot air defense interceptors. In his post on Wednesday, Zelenskyy stressed the need for more Patriots, but also added that “Ukraine is grateful to the United States for its support for Ukraine’s independence, our people, and diplomatic efforts.”The meeting in Brussels included delegations from the US, Ukraine, Germany, France and the UK, as well as from NATO and the World Bank, it said. Kushner took part online, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.“The work today and going forward is focused on refining the scenarios for Ukraine’s post-war economic development and prosperity,” the European Commission said in a statement on its website Wednesday. “This includes identifying instruments and tools that can support Ukraine’s future development and own efforts.”
泽连斯基周二表示，他将在美方主导的谈判中推动达成能源停火、粮食出口安全和交换战俘。
Zelenskyy said on Tuesday he’ll push for an energy truce, grain-export security and prisoner swaps as part of the US-led talks.
俄罗斯坚持其结束全面入侵乌克兰的极限要求，包括基辅割让东部顿巴斯地区的领土——莫斯科十多年来未能通过武力夺取这些领土。
Russia has stuck to its maximalist demands to end its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, including that Kyiv cede territories in the eastern Donbas region that Moscow has failed to take by force for more than a decade.
据西方情报数据和泽连斯基称，俄罗斯上个月在乌克兰遭受了创纪录的军事伤亡，而乌克兰也收复了一些地区。
Russia suffered record military casualties in Ukraine last month while Ukraine also regained some areas, according to Western intelligence data and Zelenskyy.
随着前线进展停滞，莫斯科越来越多地针对平民发动升级的空袭。泽连斯基周三表示，周一乌克兰南部一个人道主义援助中心遭到袭击，造成至少40人死亡，30多人仍下落不明。
With progress stalling on the frontline, Moscow has been increasingly targeting civilians in escalating air strikes. An attack on a humanitarian aid center on Monday in southern Ukraine killed at least 40 people, while more than 30 are still missing, Zelenskyy said Wednesday.
世界银行2月估计，乌克兰重建和恢复的总成本接近5880亿美元。
The World Bank estimated in February the total cost of reconstruction and recovery in Ukraine was almost $588 billion.
自那时起，俄罗斯针对从发电厂到零售商店等各类目标的持续袭击，只会增加损失。乌克兰央行上周表示，这些袭击可能会使乌克兰经济今年首次自全面入侵开始以来出现收缩。泽连斯基重申，他必须与普京当面会晤才能结束战争，并否定了与俄罗斯领导人通电话的想法，称那只不过是一堂历史课而已。
Since then, Russia’s relentless attacks, targeting everything from power plants to retail stores, have only increased the damage. The strikes will probably push the Ukrainian economy into contraction this year for the first time since the start of the full-scale invasion, the central bank said last week. Zelenskyy reiterated that he must meet Putin in person to end the war, dismissing the idea of a phone call with the Russian leader as something that would amount to little more than a lecture on history.
