由于乌克兰防空力量捉襟见肘,爱国者导弹亟需。但特朗普一如既往地对提供新弹药含糊其辞——而且他很容易改变主意或忘记。

俄罗斯对基辅和其他乌克兰城市的导弹袭击强度不断增加,也打击了乌克兰的士气。如果没有明确的胜利愿景——或者至少是结束战争的愿景——绝望感可能会笼罩整个国家。

A group of former European leaders — including Carl Bildt of Sweden and Sanna Marin of Finland — visited Ukraine recently and picked up on the deteriorating mood. They wrote afterwards that “while Ukrainians will never stop resisting, without more military support, Ukraine can lose more territory. More cities might be captured.” Off the record, some western officials are even bleaker, warning of a risk of “catastrophic failure”, if the Ukrainian military is stretched to breaking point — and does not receive a significant increase in military and financial aid from its western allies.
