德国总理弗里德里希·默茨周六再次呼吁继续支持乌克兰在与俄罗斯的战争中。
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Saturday called once again for continued support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
“我们不能让这个国家和它的人民自生自灭。我们也不会这样做，”默茨在柏林举行的其所属基督教民主联盟及其姊妹党基督教社会联盟的青年组织大会上表示。
“We must not leave this country and its people to fend for themselves. And we will not do so,” said Merz at the congress of the youth organization of his Christian Democratic Union and its sister party, the Christian Social Union, in Berlin.
自2022年2月战争爆发以来，德国一直是乌克兰最坚定的军事支持者之一，提供先进武器系统、弹药和大量财政援助，并加入西方对莫斯科的制裁。
Germany has been one of Ukraine’s strongest military backers since the war erupted in February 2022, providing advanced weapons systems, ammunition and substantial financial aid, and joining Western sanctions against Moscow.
默茨还批评了反对党极右翼德国选择党（AfD）和极左翼政党“左翼党”，称他们在俄罗斯问题上“淡化了局势”。
Merz also lashed out at the opposition far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the far-left party The Left for “downplaying the situation” with regard to Russia.
“我们目前从俄罗斯看到的不仅仅是对乌克兰领土完整的质疑。我们看到的是俄罗斯每天在削弱我们的民主、我们的价值观和我们的生活方式。而我们现在正在反击，”总理说。
“What we are currently witnessing from Russia is not just questioning Ukraine’s territorial integrity. What we are witnessing from Russia is a daily undermining of our democracy, our values, and our way of life. And we are fighting back against it now,” the chancellor said.
默茨的言论是在德国外国情报局局长最近警告称，被卷入与俄罗斯的暴力冲突的危险增加，并表示莫斯科现在将柏林视为主要对手之后发表的。
Merz’s remarks come in the wake of recent statements by the head of Germany’s foreign intelligence service, who warned of the danger of being drawn into a violent conflict with Russia, saying Moscow now treats Berlin as a main adversary.
联邦情报局（BND）局长马丁·耶格尔告诉议会情报委员会，与俄罗斯的对抗已经呈现出新的且更具危险性的特质。
Martin Jaeger, president of the Federal Intelligence Service, or BND, told the parliament’s intelligence committee that the confrontation with Russia has taken on a new and more dangerous quality.
