國防焦點

【4月29日】看軍聞學英語

■孫百順

原文:

 France's foreign minister has suggested that western countries should be considering the idea that NATO troops should perhaps be deployed to Ukraine in non-combat roles to assist Ukraine.

 Foreign Minister Sejourne in France's parliament elaborated further, saying NATO troops could potentially be deployed into Ukraine to assist with roles such as "demining, cyber operations or weapons production."

 Macron said troops could do such actions without "crossing the threshold of belligerence" and such things should not be ruled out given Russia's efforts to destabilize Europe.

 France's suggestions have been firmly rebuffed by some key European states but it appears there is a real growing push among some European countries to at least discuss the possibility of providing more direct military assistance, something that had been previously been taboo.

 The Netherlands defense ministry also didn't rule it out and Macron, along with Slovakia's prime minister, have both said publicly some countries are actively discussing it.

 Those who support the idea suggest Western military personnel could bolster Ukraine's air defenses and free up Ukrainian troops if they were stationed in the rear for example.

中譯:

 法國外長建議西方國家,應該考慮派遣北大西洋公約組織部隊赴烏克蘭部署的構想,以執行非作戰任務方式協助烏國。

 外長塞儒內在國會進一步說明,北約部隊可以協助烏國執行排雷、網路防禦或武器生產等作業。

 馬克宏表示,部隊可以執行「不跨越作戰門檻」的行動,以阻止俄羅斯破壞歐洲的穩定。

 法國的建議雖遭到一些主要歐洲國家的堅決反對,但至少對某些國家願意討論直接軍援烏國的可能性而言,確有實質推波助瀾的作用。這在以往是列為禁忌的。

 荷蘭防長也不反對此項提議。馬克宏和斯洛伐克共和國總理公開表示,有些國家正在積極討論此事。

 支持這個想法的國家認為,西方軍事人員若進駐烏國的後方地區,可提升烏軍的防空能力和減輕其負擔。
