Scott Lucas教授:美国对乌克兰的关系复杂且充满变数,很大程度上取决于特朗普政府内部不同派系的权力斗争。一部分人,例如特朗普和他的副总统,对乌克兰总统泽连斯基持负面态度,并倾向于与克里姆林宫合作;而另一部分人,例如驻乌克兰特使凯斯·凯洛格、马可·卢比奥和国家安全顾问迈克·沃尔茨,则更倾向于支持乌克兰,并反对与俄罗斯过分妥协。 关于稀土矿产交易,最初的谈判在2月份因特朗普政府内部的分歧而破裂,泽连斯基坚持交易必须与安全保障相联系。此后,乌克兰通过与欧洲合作,与特朗普政府中的温和派取得联系,最终达成了一个意向书,但该意向书并非最终协议,具体细节还有待商榷。这表明特朗普政府内部存在一个愿意与乌克兰和欧洲合作的派系,但他们的力量和影响力仍然存在不确定性,因为特朗普本人对乌克兰局势缺乏了解,并且仍然寻求与普京的合作机会。 卢比奥关于美国可能退出和平谈判的威胁,既针对俄罗斯,也针对乌克兰,反映了特朗普政府内部在乌克兰政策上的混乱和不确定性。一些官员甚至被普京所吸引,这使得美国的对乌政策面临着外交现实与个人情感之间的冲突。如果俄罗斯在过去几个月采取更温和的策略,可能会获得更有利的局面,但克里姆林宫的强硬态度反而给了乌克兰和欧洲更多空间来设定更有利于乌克兰生存的谈判条件。 总而言之,美乌关系的未来走向仍然充满不确定性,取决于特朗普政府内部派系斗争的结果以及俄罗斯的策略选择。乌克兰在外交上占据主动地位,但仍然面临着来自特朗普政府内部强硬派和克里姆林宫的巨大挑战。

The US and Ukraine have signed a memorandum of intent - suggesting they will agree the minerals deal which was derailed by Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky’s televised row in the Oval Office. At the same time, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the US will walk away from peace talks with Russia if a ceasefire isn’t agreed. So is the relationship between Washington and Kyiv healing? US foreign policy specialist Professor Scott Lucas says that depends on which factions within Trump's top team win the president's ear.
