俄羅斯真部署重兵了,結果美國官員說因應方案還沒提給阿拜。騙誰啊? :ablobunamused:

"美方官員估計,目前陳兵克里米亞與烏克蘭附近的俄軍已多達8萬人,約為4週前的近兩倍。歐盟外交與安全政策高級代表波瑞爾(Josep Borrell)則估計俄軍有10萬之譜,比2014年併吞克里米亞時部署的部隊還多,也遠高於目前陳兵烏克蘭東部的規模。"

西方這廂武器小補, 俄羅斯那廂不甘示弱:

"根據《路透》報導,「Maxar Technologies」指出,衛星在2月4日拍下俄軍在白俄羅斯葉利斯基(Yelsk)、列奇察(Rechitsa)及盧尼涅茨(Luninets)的部署概況,上述三地都距離烏克蘭邊境不到50公里。

衛星拍下俄軍在列奇察的一處部隊營舍、停車場及火砲部署點,在葉利斯基則發現俄軍出動的飛彈發射車及火箭發射車,在盧尼涅茨某處機場則拍到俄軍攻擊機。"

讓人翻白眼的馬後炮反應:

"美國白宮國家安全顧問蘇利文蘇利文(Jake Sullivan)接受多家電視新聞台的訪問,他告訴「福斯週日新聞」(Fox News Sunday):「我們處於關鍵時刻,當前任何一天,俄羅斯都可能對烏克蘭採取軍事行動,或是可能從今起約數週後,亦或是俄羅斯可能選擇採取外交途徑。」

而蘇利文接受美國國家廣播公司新聞網(NBC News)節目「會晤新聞界」(Meet the Press)訪問指出,俄羅斯可能採取的行動包括,併吞烏克蘭的頓內茨克(Donetsk)地區、網攻或全面入侵烏克蘭,並說俄羅斯可能最快7日就會採取行動,但也可能需時數週。"

"基輔當局明確提出所需的「防禦性武器」種類,包括中程防空飛彈系統、便攜式地對空飛彈、反無人機步槍、電子追蹤系統、夜視設備、監控攝影機和彈藥等,並強調這些防禦性武器僅用於自衛。"

俄羅斯與白羅斯藉軍演名義封鎖烏克蘭所有出海口:

"The blockade has underscored the vulnerability of Ukraine’s southern coastline and its ports, as well as the inability of Ukraine and NATO to deter Moscow in the Black Sea."

這種風雨欲來的局勢真令人緊張不安:

"美國國務院在當地時間14日表示,俄羅斯在鄰近烏克蘭的白羅斯邊界地區集結軍隊,並敦促美國公民立刻離開白羅斯,聲明表示由於俄羅斯在烏克蘭邊境的不尋常且令人擔憂的軍事活動有所增加,鑑於局勢的高度動盪,強烈建議美國公民不要前往白俄羅斯。"

俄烏交戰前傳:

"Ukrainians aren’t waiting for the war with Russia to start. They have been fighting one since 2014, when Russia first invaded and seized portions of the country. Moscow has since used armed proxies in eastern Ukraine to pursue a grinding conflict aimed at bringing its former vassal to heel. The war has cost the lives of at least 14,000 people, drained billions of dollars from Ukraine’s economy and displaced hundreds of thousands of residents."

"Most of the Ukrainian military casualties came in the first year, when fighting was heaviest and training and medical provision at their weakest. One or two have died every week over the past few years, often by sniper or mortar fire across the front lines, a divide largely fixed in a 2015 deal that ended the heaviest fighting but didn’t bring peace."
