Decision on strikes into Russia unlikely to come after Biden-Zelensky talks — The Times
LONDON, September 23. /TASS/.US President Joe Biden is unlikely to announce a decision on allowing the use of Western-made weapons for strikes deep into Russian territory after his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on September 26, according to a report by The Times, citing unnamed sources. 美国总统拜登在9月26日与乌克兰总统泽连斯基会面后，预计不会宣布关于允许使用西方国家制造的武器对俄罗斯深处进行打击的决定，《泰晤士报》援引未透露姓名的消息来源报道称。 An unnamed NATO diplomat mentioned that the decision will ultimately be made between the US and the UK. However, the major issue for Western nations is the uncertainty surrounding Russia’s “red lines.” The diplomat noted that the level of threat from Russia has "never been so high." 一位未透露姓名的北约外交官表示，这一决定将在美国和英国之间作出。然而，西方国家面临的主要问题是他们不清楚俄罗斯的“红线”在哪里。该外交官还指出，来自俄罗斯的威胁“从未如此高”。 The report also highlighted that even if strikes deep into Russian territory were authorized, they are unlikely to change the course of the conflict, as Russia has already relocated its aircraft and missile systems beyond the range of Western-made weapons currently in use by Ukraine. Instead, Ukraine may benefit more from the expanded use of long-range drones and increased localized production. 该报道还强调，即使被授权对俄罗斯境内进行打击，这也不太可能改变冲突的进程，因为俄罗斯已经将其飞机和导弹系统移出了乌克兰目前使用的西方武器的射程范围。相反，乌克兰可能从扩大使用远程无人机和增加本地化生产中获益更多。 Military experts and diplomats interviewed by *The Times* agreed that Ukraine faces significant challenges in pushing back Russian forces in the medium term. One source emphasized that any negotiations in the future would be "very, very, very difficult and painful for Ukraine." 《泰晤士报》采访的军事专家和外交官一致认为，乌克兰在中期内推进俄军的机会不大。一位消息人士强调，未来的任何谈判对于乌克兰来说都将“非常非常非常困难和痛苦。”
