乌克兰总统泽连斯基向美国总统特朗普提出请求,希望特朗普能说服埃隆·马斯克同意乌克兰使用星链卫星通信系统来指导对俄罗斯境内的军事打击[1]。泽连斯基在本周白宫会议上直接向特朗普提出了这一请求,随后也在国会山与议员们讨论了此事[1]。
目前,马斯克已允许乌克兰在其本土(包括被俄占领地区)使用星链,但限制其在俄罗斯内部的使用[1]。泽连斯基已在过去数周内推动扩大星链使用范围[1]。参议院共和党人迈克·朗兹表示,"他们需要长期获得星链来提高远程和中程系统的准确性"[1]。
对于这一请求,特朗普未做出明确承诺[1]。特朗普在周五表示,"我们正在讨论这个问题。但给出那种技术是件困难的事"[1]。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asked U.S. President Donald Trump to persuade Elon Musk to permit Ukraine to use Starlink satellite communications to guide military strikes within Russian territory [1]. Zelenskyy raised this request directly during a White House meeting with Trump this week and subsequently discussed the matter with lawmakers on Capitol Hill [1]. Currently, Musk allows Ukraine to operate Starlink within its own borders, including occupied territories, but has restricted its use inside Russia proper [1].
Trump has not committed to supporting Zelenskyy's request [1]. On Friday, Trump stated: "We're discussing it. But it's a difficult thing to give that kind of technology" [1]. Republican Senator Mike Rounds expressed support for the expansion, noting: "They need long-term access to Starlink to improve the accuracy of their long-range and medium-range systems" [1]. Zelenskyy has been pushing to expand Starlink's operational scope over recent weeks [1].
