- 摘要
- 葬礼前会见林赛·格雷厄姆，这位坚定支持乌克兰的参议员
- 泽连斯基预计将向特朗普施压，要求提供更多防空装备
- 五角大楼计划推迟4亿美元乌克兰援助资金的使用引发批评
华盛顿7月28日（路透社） – 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于周二在白宫会见乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基，此时距美国参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的葬礼仅剩数小时。格雷厄姆曾积极游说华盛顿在俄乌冲突中支持基辅。
一位知情人士向路透社透露，在当日下午格雷厄姆的葬礼举行前，泽连斯基预计将与特朗普进行一场简短的非公开会面，大概率不会有记者在场。

此次访问为泽连斯基提供了一个巩固军事支持的契机。当前美乌关系数月来处于回暖状态，但美国仍搁置对基辅的援助，而格雷厄姆的离世也让华盛顿失去了其最具影响力的援乌倡导者之一。
这位乌克兰领导人将向特朗普紧急呼吁提供急需的防空能力，并推动一项无人机协议的达成。两位领导人还可能讨论特朗普在北约峰会上做出的承诺——允许乌克兰生产“爱国者”导弹拦截弹。
白宫会面结束后，泽连斯基预计将前往美国国会山与参议员们举行会谈。

他此次访问正值五角大楼致议员的一封信件曝光之际。信件显示，特朗普政府已告知国会，将推迟至2029财年才会用完此前获批的4亿美元乌克兰援助资金，而此时基辅正面临抵御俄罗斯导弹袭击所需武器的严重短缺。
民主党人以及部分特朗普的共和党同僚均批评五角大楼搁置两党去年共同支持的援乌资金。
关系有所改善
特朗普第二任期初期，泽连斯基与特朗普多次爆发冲突，但近几个月来两国关系有所回暖，原因是乌克兰在战争中取得了更多进展，包括加大对俄罗斯石油产业的打击力度。
格雷厄姆是南卡罗来纳州的共和党人，于7月11日因心脏病突发去世，享年71岁，他曾是特朗普最知名的盟友之一。作为国防鹰派人士，他一贯主张美国在国际舞台上采取干预主义立场，并坚定支持乌克兰。

就在他去世的前一天，他还在基辅与泽连斯基会面，这是他自2022年俄罗斯入侵以来第10次访问乌克兰。参议院正就一项两党对俄新制裁法案进行投票，而格雷厄姆在生命的最后几天里一直在推动该法案通过。
格雷厄姆曾在6月赢得南卡罗来纳州共和党初选，当时正谋求连任参议员第五个任期。他的妹妹达琳·格雷厄姆已被任命填补其剩余任期，并已宣布将于11月竞选完整的六年任期，且已获得特朗普的背书。
泽连斯基在抵达华盛顿时表示，反导防御与与美国的战略合作是他与特朗普及其团队会晤的“第一要务”。
“需要让和平离我们更近一些，”他在X平台上发帖称。

一位白宫官员表示，特朗普将与乌克兰总统讨论俄乌之间的和平进程。“现在是结束这场战争的时候了，”该官员说道。
泽连斯基上周与美国特使史蒂夫·威科夫和贾里德·库什纳就重启与俄罗斯和谈的可能性进行了交谈，并表示乌克兰与美国官员可能在未来几天内在美国举行会晤。

- Summary
- Meeting ahead of funeral of Lindsey Graham, a staunch advocate of support for Ukraine
- Zelenskiy expected to press Trump for additional air-defenses
- Pentagon plans to delay spending $400 million in Ukraine aid have faced criticism
WASHINGTON, July 28 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to the White House on Tuesday ahead of the funeral of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who forcefully lobbied Washington to back Kyiv in its conflict with Russia.
Zelenskiy is expected to have a short private meeting with Trump, likely in the absence of reporters, ahead of Graham’s funeral in the afternoon, a source familiar with the plans told Reuters.

The visit offers Zelenskiy a chance to shore up military support at a moment when U.S.-Ukraine relations are warmer than they have been in months, but the U.S. has been sitting on aid for Kyiv and the loss of Graham has removed one of its most influential advocates in Washington.
The Ukrainian leader will press Trump for urgently needed air defense capabilities and the completion of a drone deal. The two leaders will also likely discuss Trump’s promise at the NATO summit to grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missile interceptors.
After the White House meeting, Zelenskiy is expected to go to the U.S. Capitol for a meeting with senators.

His visit comes as a letter sent to lawmakers from the Pentagon showed the Trump administration has told Congress it will not finish spending $400 million authorized for aid to Ukraine until fiscal year 2029, even as Kyiv runs critically low on weapons it needs to fend off Russian missile attacks.
Democrats and some of Trump’s fellow Republicans have criticized the Pentagon for sitting on aid for Kyiv that members of both parties backed last year.
RELATIONS HAVE IMPROVED
Zelenskiy and Trump clashed repeatedly in the early months of Trump’s second term, but relations between the two have improved in recent months as Ukraine has had greater success in the war, including with increased attacks on Russia’s oil industry.
Graham, a South Carolina Republican who died suddenly from a heart ailment on July 11 at age 71, was one of Trump’s most visible allies. He was a defense hawk who regularly called for an interventionist U.S. role on the world stage and strongly backed Ukraine.

He met with Zelenskiy in Kyiv only a day before his death, the 10th time he had visited Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion. The Senate is preparing to vote on a bipartisan package of new sanctions on Russia that Graham spent his final days trying to push across the finish line.
Graham had been running for a fifth term in the Senate after winning the South Carolina Republican primary in June. His sister, Darline Graham, has been appointed to fill the remainder of his term and she has announced her intention to seek a full six-year term in November, with Trump’s endorsement.
Zelenskiy said as he arrived in Washington that anti-ballistic defense and strategic cooperation with the U.S. were the “number-one priority” for meetings with Trump and his team.
“Peace needs to be brought closer,” he said in a post on X.

A White House official said Trump would discuss the peace process between Russia and Ukraine with the Ukrainian president. “Now is the time to end the war,” the official said.
Zelenskiy spoke last week with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about the prospects for renewed peace talks with Russia and said that Ukrainian and U.S. officials could meet in the United States in the coming days.
