芬蘭領袖懇請馬斯克協助烏克蘭打擊俄羅斯飛彈發射器
湯姆・巴姆福斯報導By Tom Balmforth
紐約,9 月 24 日(路透)——芬蘭總統亞歷山大・史塔布(Alexander Stubb)週四表示,他已懇請 SpaceX 所有者伊隆・馬斯克(Elon Musk)擴大供烏克蘭使用的星鏈衛星網路覆蓋範圍,使烏克蘭能打擊位於俄羅斯境內的俄軍彈道飛彈發射器。NEW YORK, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Finnish President Alexander Stubb said on Thursday he pleaded with SpaceX owner Elon Musk to expand Starlink satellite internet coverage for Ukraine so it can strike Russian ballistic missile launchers located inside Russian territory.
隨著冬季將至,烏克蘭嚴重缺乏可抵禦俄羅斯彈道飛彈的防空系統;基輔官員認為,在俄羅斯領土範圍內開放星鏈供烏克蘭使用,將有助於鎖定發射這些飛彈的俄軍發射器。With winter looming, Ukraine has an acute shortage of air defenses to repel Russian ballistic missiles, and Kyiv officials believe that turning on Starlink over Russian territory would help it target the Russian launchers that fire the missiles.
史塔布說:「這就是為什麼……我懇請伊隆・馬斯克讓烏克蘭人能在有彈道飛彈發射器的地區使用星鏈,無論是在烏克蘭被占領土,或是在俄羅斯境內,供戰略目的使用,因為這將拯救生命。」"That's why … I plead that Elon Musk would give the Ukrainians the possibility to use Starlink in areas where there are ballistic missile launchers, either in the occupied territory of Ukraine or in Russia for strategic purposes because that would save lives," Stubb said.
這位堅定支持烏克蘭、同時與美國總統唐納・川普(Donald Trump)關係良好的芬蘭領袖,是在紐約接受路透社專訪時作出上述表示;各國領袖正齊聚紐約參加聯合國年度大會。The Finnish leader, a staunch ally of Ukraine who also has good relations with US President Donald Trump, made the remark in an interview with Reuters in New York where world leaders have converged for the annual gathering at the United Nations.
烏克蘭總統弗拉迪米爾・澤倫斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskiy)利用這場活動,大力推動涵蓋能源基礎設施相關目標與黑海船隻攻擊的停火安排。俄羅斯並未公開表示希望見到這類安排。President Volodymyr Zelenskiy used the event to press hard for ceasefires that would cover strikes on targets related to energy infrastructure and vessels in the Black Sea. Russia has given no public indication it wants to see such arrangements.
俄羅斯全面入侵已過去 4 年半,烏克蘭方面擔心,莫斯科計畫在隆冬時節有系統地鎖定並摧毀電力與供暖設施。俄羅斯今年夏天使用彈道飛彈的規模達到歷史新高。Four-and-a-half years since the full-scale Russian invasion, the Ukrainians fear Moscow plans to systematically target and destroy power and heating sites in the depth of winter. Russia's use of ballistic missiles hit record levels this summer.
只有烏克蘭的愛國者防空系統能攔截這類飛彈,但彈藥已嚴重耗盡,且目前不清楚新的補給可能來自何處。Only Ukraine's Patriot air defenses are able to intercept such missiles, but ammunition is severely depleted and it is unclear where new supplies could come from.
馬斯克在俄羅斯 2022 年全面入侵後不久,就在烏克蘭啟用星鏈衛星網路服務。星鏈已成為烏克蘭戰場通訊的生命線,也是操控無人機的工具。Musk switched on the Starlink satellite internet service over Ukraine shortly after Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. It has become the lifeblood of Ukraine's battlefield communications and a tool for piloting drones.
星鏈無法在俄羅斯領土運作,但烏克蘭官員認為,若開放星鏈在俄羅斯境內供烏克蘭使用,將使烏克蘭武器能攻擊位於邊境數百公里範圍內的機動彈道飛彈發射器。Starlink does not work over Russian territory, but Ukrainian officials believe turning it on for Ukraine's use inside Russia would allow its weapons to strike mobile ballistic launchers located within several hundred kilometres of the border.
展望冬季,史塔布表示,烏克蘭需要 3 件事。Looking ahead to winter, Stubb said there were three things that Ukraine needed.
「第一是防空系統,而星鏈在某種程度上也會是那裡一項有用的防空手段。第二是過冬所需的能源設施。」"One is air defenses and even Starlink would be to a certain extent a good air defense there. And the second one is energy installations for the winter."
「第三是錢。所以這些就是我們正在努力的事項。我們正在籌組一項冬季方案,因為你知道,我不認為這場戰爭會在冬天之前結束。」"The third one is money. So those are the things that we're working on. We're working on putting up a winter package because I don't see the war ending, you know, before the winter."
史塔布表示,由美國主導的俄烏和平談判已於 8 月重啟,當時美國特使分別造訪莫斯科與基輔,這是好事。Stubb said it was good that US-led peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine had restarted in August with the visits of US envoys to both Moscow and Kyiv.
他說:「我仍然認為,最簡單的解決方案就是宣布無條件停火,基本上就是停止殺戮,正如川普總統在聯合國大會演說中重申的那樣。」"I still think that the easiest solution would be to call an unconditional ceasefire, basically stop the killing, as President Trump reiterated in his speech in the UN General Assembly," he said.
他接著表示,這樣的步驟之後,將就安全、領土、重建與賠償,以及其他議題進行談判。Such a step, he continued, would be followed by negotiations on security, territory, reconstruction and compensation and other topics.
他說,戰爭可沿接觸線凍結,並在東西兩側各設 30 公里的緩衝區;他並補充,次佳選項則是針對能源與穀物相關目標實施部分停火的構想。The war could be frozen along the line of contact with 30-kilometre buffer zones east and west, he said, adding that the next best option was the idea of the partial ceasefire on energy and grain related targets.
