Saul: 我对特朗普暂停对乌克兰军事援助感到震惊,这超出了我的预期。虽然我们预料到这种可能性,特别是考虑到特朗普阵营去年秋天曾表示,如果特朗普再次当选总统,将会以此作为向乌克兰施压达成协议的方式。但这仍然是一个令人震惊的局面,它标志着对乌克兰施加了前所未有的压力,可能会迫使泽连斯基做出让步以换取援助的恢复。泽连斯基最近关于和平遥遥无期的评论似乎激怒了特朗普,导致特朗普采取了更强硬的立场。特朗普的行为似乎更多地是为了满足其个人政治目标,而非美国的国家利益。他与俄罗斯的关系日益密切,甚至考虑取消制裁,这在谈判策略上是极其不合理的。尽管如此,欧洲和英国对乌克兰的支持依然坚定,这为乌克兰带来了一线希望。欧洲国家可能会增加对乌克兰的援助,以弥补美国援助的缺失。 Patrick: 特朗普暂停对乌克兰的军事援助是对乌克兰的极端施压,其目的是迫使泽连斯基向白宫屈服。这种行为实际上导致了所有使用美国武器系统的军事活动陷入停滞,严重削弱了乌克兰的进攻和防御能力。俄罗斯和乌克兰之间的立场差异巨大,普京没有表现出任何愿意妥协的迹象,这使得和平谈判更加困难。特朗普的行为似乎是为了满足其个人野心,而非美国的利益,这可能会损害美国的国际形象和在欧洲的地位。然而,欧洲国家对乌克兰的支持依然坚定,这可能会帮助乌克兰继续战斗,尽管美国援助暂停。欧洲国家可能会增加对乌克兰的援助,以弥补美国援助的缺失,但这种援助能否完全替代美国的军事装备仍然是一个疑问。
