Laura Cook: 作为主持人,我介绍了乌克兰长期以来受西方武器射程限制的困扰,以及德国等国解除这些限制的背景。我认为,这一转变可能对战局产生重大影响,值得深入探讨。 Larissa Brown: 作为国防编辑,我认为解除武器限制的时机有些奇怪,因为去年我们已经认为这些限制已经基本解除。尽管如此,德国总理意外宣布所有武器都可以在俄罗斯境内使用,这仍然是一个重要的进展。我认为,乌克兰一直在争取德国的金牛座导弹,因为这些导弹可以帮助乌克兰打击俄罗斯后方的关键目标,从而削弱俄罗斯的补给线。我同时也关注到,克里姆林宫对解除武器限制表示不满,并警告说这可能导致紧张局势升级。我认为,欧洲需要采取更多行动来帮助乌克兰扭转战局,因为目前乌克兰在地面上并没有取得进展。我最近还亲身探访了英国训练乌克兰士兵的基地,并对他们的训练情况有了更深入的了解。我认为,英国的训练对乌克兰士兵来说至关重要,因为他们可以学到很多在乌克兰无法学到的技能。同时,我也对英国教官和乌克兰士兵之间建立的深厚友谊感到动容,并对乌克兰士兵的牺牲精神表示敬佩。我深信,乌克兰正在为整个欧洲而战,如果俄罗斯能够占领乌克兰,那么整个欧洲都将面临威胁。

Chapters
The recent lifting of range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine by Western allies could significantly alter the conflict's trajectory. This decision follows a series of major Russian attacks and raises questions about the potential use of longer-range missiles like Germany's Taurus.
  • Range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine have been lifted by Germany, Britain, France, and the US.
  • This allows Ukraine to strike deeper into Russian territory.
  • The timing is notable, coinciding with major Russian attacks on Ukraine.
  • Uncertainty remains about Germany's potential supply of Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
