Saul David: 作为主持人，我认为当前乌克兰的局势可谓喜忧参半。一方面，在海牙举行的北约峰会上传来了令人鼓舞的消息，各国承诺增加国防开支。但另一方面，美国却突然宣布停止向乌克兰供应包括“爱国者”导弹在内的关键武器系统，这无疑给乌克兰的防御带来了巨大的挑战。我认为，美国此举无疑是将自身利益置于首位，但对于正在遭受俄罗斯攻击的乌克兰来说，这无疑是一个令人担忧的进展。 Patrick Bishop: 我同意Saul的看法，特朗普政府在对乌克兰的军事援助问题上表现得非常反复无常，这与他一贯的行事风格相符。上周我还在赞扬特朗普在世界安全舞台上的表现，但现在看来，他似乎又回到了原来的状态。更令人费解的是，美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯竟然下令暂停向乌克兰运送导弹和其他弹药，理由是担心美国军方的库存不足。我认为，这一举动无疑是在玩火，只会鼓励俄罗斯进一步采取行动。更令人担忧的是，美国此举可能会加速乌克兰消耗防空导弹的速度，使其更加容易受到俄罗斯的攻击。这简直是冷酷和险恶的举动。

Shownotes Transcript

This week on Battleground, Saul David and Patrick Bishop delve into the disappointing turn in US support. Whilst meetings last week at the NATO summit offered a glimmer of hope, the White House's abrupt decision to halt key weapons supplies, including Patriot missiles, has left Ukraine's defences vulnerable.

Additionally, we hear directly from Eddy Scott, a 28-year-old British volunteer who tragically lost an arm and a leg in a Russian drone attack while evacuating civilians from the front-line town of Pokrovsk. Eddy shares his harrowing experience and the circumstances that led him to volunteer in Ukraine.
