白宫官员:我们暂停对乌克兰的军事援助是为了审查其对和平的贡献。我们希望确保援助能够有效地促进和平解决冲突,而不是加剧紧张局势。我们会仔细评估援助计划的有效性,并根据评估结果决定未来的援助策略。我们致力于支持乌克兰的主权和领土完整,同时寻求和平解决冲突的途径。 Joanna Kakissis:暂停对乌克兰的军事援助对乌克兰来说是灾难性的,因为美国是乌克兰自俄罗斯全面入侵以来最强大的盟友。这将削弱乌克兰的防御能力,使其更容易受到俄罗斯的攻击。虽然乌克兰短期内可能依靠自身国防工业和欧洲援助,但长期来看,缺少美国援助将严重影响乌克兰的防御能力,甚至可能导致俄罗斯取得军事上的重大进展。2023年美国暂停对乌克兰的军事援助的先例已经证明了这一点,当时乌克兰的防御能力减弱,俄罗斯得以攻占关键城市。尽管欧洲增加了对乌克兰的支持,但长期来看,没有美国的帮助,保卫乌克兰和欧洲将极具挑战性。
