乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基周四表示，乌克兰获得美国额外援助的机会增加了，这是对民主党在中期选举中取得压倒性胜利的反应。他在接受一家乌克兰新闻频道采访并在X平台发布的视频中补充说，乌克兰需要巩固美国的两党支持，并“迈向”新的政治架构。泽连斯基称，至少有160亿美元的援助被美国扣留，需要予以拨付，乌克兰需要来自美国的一个“援助包”，以便在持续的俄罗斯袭击面前巩固自身。
The chances have increased for Ukraine to receive additional U.S. assistance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday, reacting to Democrats' overwhelming victories in the midterm elections. Ukraine needs to consolidate bipartisan support in the U.S. and “move toward” the new political infrastructure, he added in an interview with a Ukrainian news channel posted on X. Zelensky said at least $16 billion in assistance was withheld from the U.S. that needs to be disbursed and that Ukraine needs a “package” from the U.S. to fortify itself in the face of ongoing Russian attacks.
目前尚不清楚泽连斯基指的是哪笔资金。他说：“我们对所提供的一切心存感激，但至少乌克兰必须为这些资金而战。”泽连斯基在西班牙举行的伊比利亚美洲峰会间隙发表上述言论，他表示已从西班牙获得一项价值4.87亿美元的防务援助包。德国提供了“冬季支持包”，因为乌克兰正寻求在俄罗斯袭击其供暖和电力基础设施的情况下建立能源韧性。
It was not immediately clear what funding Zelensky was referring to. “We are grateful for everything that has been provided, but at the very least, Ukraine must fight for these funds,” he said. Zelensky made the remarks on the sidelines of the Ibero-American summit in Spain, where he said he secured a defense package from Spain worth $487 million. Germany has provided “a winter support package,” as Ukraine looks to build energy resilience from Russian attacks on its heating and electricity infrastructure.
这位乌克兰领导人表示，他还在努力加快“爱国者”防空系统导弹、其他防空导弹的交付，以及F-16战斗机的援助。泽连斯基还表示，在下周于阿布扎比举行的俄罗斯、乌克兰和美国三方会谈之前，他已与特朗普总统的谈判特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和贾里德·库什纳进行了交谈。“基础工作已奠定。重要的是一切都要在纸面上写清楚。要有对结果的理解，”泽连斯基在采访中说。
The Ukrainian leader said he is also working to accelerate deliveries of missiles for Patriot air defense systems, other air-defense missiles and assistance for F-16 fighter jets. Zelensky also said he held conversations with President Trump’s top envoys for negotiations, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, ahead of trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. taking place in Abu Dhabi next week. “The groundwork has been laid. It is important that everything is clear on paper. That there is an understanding of what the outcome will be,” Zelensky said in the interview.
“如果俄罗斯再次发动袭击，将采取什么行动，由谁采取，用什么手段，何时采取？答案首先应对我们乌克兰人清晰明了。”
“If Russia starts again, what will be done, by whom, with what means, and when? The answers should be clear first and foremost to us, Ukrainians. It is important for our society to know this.”
让我们的社会了解这一点非常重要。” 支持乌克兰的共和党人和民主党人提出了在未来几周内为该国提供援助方案的可能性，许多基辅最坚定的共和党支持者将于1月离开国会。在1月之前通过立法，可能提供足以推翻特朗普总统任何否决的多数票。即将退休的参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（共和党-北卡罗来纳州）告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻部，对乌克兰的额外援助是优先事项。
Republicans and Democrats supportive of Ukraine have raised the possibility of an aid package for the country over the next few weeks, with many of Kyiv’s most ardent GOP backers leaving Congress in January. Passing legislation before January could provide a majority to override any veto from President Trump. Retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told CBS News that additional assistance for Ukraine is a priority.
即将退休的众议员唐·培根（共和党-内布拉斯加州）威胁称，如果不推进对乌克兰的额外资金，将阻挠总统的议程。民主党人已对特朗普试图违反美国法律进口俄罗斯柴油的做法进行了反击。美联社报道，装载着运往美国的俄罗斯柴油的油轮在新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔（民主党人）致信港口当局警告其卸油可能面临刑事或联邦指控后，改变了航向。
And retiring Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) has threatened to block the president’s agenda if additional Ukraine funding is not advanced. Democrats have pushed back on Trump’s attempt to import Russian diesel in violation of U.S. law. Tankers carrying Russian diesel bound for the U.S. changed course following a letter from New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill (D) warning port authorities they could face criminal or federal charges for unloading the oil, the Associated Press reported.
在连任竞选中失利的众议员布莱恩·菲茨帕特里克（共和党-宾夕法尼亚州）曾提出立法，旨在废除允许美国进口俄罗斯柴油的豁免，强制执行现有禁令，并保护美国对乌克兰的情报支持，后者曾在特朗普政府时期一度中止。尽管如此，下一届国会众参两院的民主党多数派仍可在支出立法中指定对乌克兰的支持。他们很可能会优先争取共和党对任何支出法案的支持，以防范特朗普在其跛脚鸭任期内行使否决权。
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), who lost his reelection race, had introduced legislation to nullify a waiver allowing the U.S. to import Russian diesel, enforce the existing ban and protect U.S. intelligence support with Ukraine that has, at times, halted under the Trump administration. Still, a Democratic majority in both the House and Senate next Congress can earmark support for Ukraine in spending legislation. They are likely to prioritize bringing Republican support to any spending bills to guard against a Trump veto during his lame-duck session.
