负责协调德国武器供应的高级军事官员告诉路透社,即使美国决定完全停止对基辅的军事支持,欧洲也有能力维持乌克兰对俄罗斯的抵抗。
克里斯蒂安·弗洛伊丁少将表示,北约的欧洲成员国加上加拿大,去年向基辅提供的军事援助总额已超过美国估计的200亿美元。
他表示,这些援助约占西方盟国承担总成本的60%。
弗洛伊丁在接受采访时表示,“针对乌克兰的战争正在我们大陆肆虐,这场战争也正在破坏欧洲安全秩序。如果有政治意愿,那么也就有手段在很大程度上弥补美国的支持。”
乌克兰继续接收美国前总统乔·拜登批准的武器。然而,目前尚不清楚他的继任者唐纳德·特朗普是否会批准任何新的武器供应,或允许第三国为基辅购买美国武器。
当被问及拜登批准的武器交付将维持基辅多久时,弗洛伊丁表示,这取决于后勤流程以及乌克兰消耗武器弹药的速度,但夏季似乎是个现实的估计。
他补充道,“目前尚不清楚美国政府如何处理对乌克兰进一步军事支持的请求。我们对此无话可说。”
“总的来说,美国对发展自身国防工业有着浓厚的兴趣。我谨慎地假设,至少购买美国国防物资并将其运送到乌克兰是可能的。”
Europe is capable of sustaining Ukraine’s resistance against Russia, even if the United States were to decide to completely halt its military support to Kyiv, the senior military official in charge of coordinating Germany’s arms supplies told Reuters.
Major General Christian Freuding said NATO’s European members plus Canada had already exceeded the estimated $20 billion worth of U.S. military aid provided last year to Kyiv.
They accounted for around 60% of the total costs borne by the Western allies, he said.
“The war against Ukraine is raging on our continent, it is also being waged against the European security order. If the political will is there, then the means will also be there to largely compensate for the American support,” Freuding said in an interview.
Ukraine continues to receive weapons deliveries approved by former U.S. President Joe Biden. It is unclear, however, whether his successor Donald Trump will sign off on any new supplies – or allow third countries to purchase U.S. weapons for Kyiv.
Asked how long the Biden-approved deliveries will sustain Kyiv, Freuding said this depended on logistical processes as well as the speed at which Ukraine burns through arms and ammunition, but that the summer seemed a realistic estimate.
“How the American government handles further requests for military support for Ukraine is unclear at the moment. We can’t say anything about that,” he added.
“In general, the U.S. has a great interest in boosting its own defence industry. I make the cautious assumption that at least purchasing U.S. defence goods, and delivering them to Ukraine, will be possible.”
