英国首相安迪·伯纳姆在10月23日与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普通话时，“强调了乌克兰拥有完全使用权”星链卫星系统的重要性，唐宁街表示。
Andy Burnham told Donald Trump that Ukraine needs full Starlink access to defend itself against Russia’s invasion, after reports of speed limits on the service. Trump said he would speak to Elon Musk if problems continued, while both leaders said they would work with partners to help end the war.
伯纳姆办公室在通话摘要中补充说，英国领导人强调，星链——科技大亨埃隆·马斯克旗下SpaceX公司的一部分——至关重要，以便乌克兰人“能够继续抵御俄罗斯的全面入侵”。
They also discussed the UK’s new North Sea gas drilling plans, which Burnham backed for energy security, jobs and economic growth. AI generated LONDON - British Prime Minister Andy Burnham “underlined the importance for Ukraine to have full access” to the Starlink satellite system in a call on Oct 23 with US President Donald Trump, Downing Street said.
乌克兰依赖民用星链系统和一个被称为“星盾”的军用版本，试图抵御俄罗斯的导弹和无人机袭击。
The UK leader stressed Starlink – part of tech tycoon Elon Musk’s SpaceX – was key so Ukrainians “can continue to defend themselves against Russia’s full-scale invasion”, Burnham’s office added in a readout of the call.
乌克兰报告称，在过去一周里，这些系统面临速度限制，称这严重削弱了其防御能力。
Ukraine relies on the civilian Starlink system and a military-grade version known as Starshield as it tries to defend itself from Russian missile and drone attacks.
特朗普在10月23日誓言，如果服务仍存在问题，将与马斯克通话，此前乌克兰表示星盾仍存在问题。
It has reported facing speed limits with the systems over the last week that it has said significantly curtailed its ability to do that.
美国总统曾在10月22日表示，马斯克已恢复使用权，围绕通信系统究竟发生了什么存在困惑。
Trump vowed on Oct 23 to speak to Musk if there were still problems with the services, after Ukraine said it was still having problems with Starshield.
在与伯纳姆的通话中，英国首相还“认可了特朗普总统为促使（俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·）普京坐上谈判桌所做的工作”，唐宁街表示。
The US president had said on Oct 22 that Musk had restored access, amid confusion over what has happened to the communications systems. In the call with Burnham, the British prime minister also “recognised the work of President Trump to bring (Russian President Vladimir) Putin to the negotiation table,” Downing Street said.
“双方领导人同意共同努力，携手国际伙伴结束流血冲突，”声明补充道。
“The leaders agreed to work together, alongside international partners to bring an end to the bloodshed,” it added.
两位领导人还谈到了英国政府10月21日宣布开始在一个有争议的北海天然气田钻探，伯纳姆称这是一项“务实”之举，将在伊朗战争引发的价格冲击中增强能源安全。
The two leaders also touched on the UK government’s announcement on Oct 21 to start drilling in a controversial North Sea gas field, which Burnham has called a “pragmatic” move that would boost energy security amid price shocks from the Iran war.
伦敦方面的声明指出：“领导人一致认为，这将给英国带来显著利益，促进经济并支持英国工人的就业。”
“The leaders agreed on the significant benefits this will bring to the UK, boosting the economy and supporting jobs for British workers,” London’s readout noted.
早些时候，被问及他们的谈话时，特朗普确认他们“讨论了他们正在开放北海石油的事实”——这是这位美国领导人长期以来向历任英国同行提出的建议。“这将使英国成为一个非常富有的国家，”特朗普补充道。
Earlier, asked about their conversation, Trump confirmed they “discussed the fact that they’re opening up the North Sea oil” – a longstanding suggestion by the US leader made to successive British counterparts. “That’s gonna make the UK a very rich country,” Trump added.
