乌克兰大使奥尔加·斯特凡尼希娜指出,乌美两国关系有所改善,她周四对记者表示,两国“整体态势”已发生转变。

就在过去六周内,乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基已与特朗普总统进行了两次通话和三次会面,其中一次就在本周早些时候。斯特凡尼希娜在《基督教科学箴言报》早餐会上发表讲话时,将此归功于国务院和白宫近期的人事调整,称这些调整“推动了相关进程”。

乌克兰目前就其军事局势提供“定期更新”,并已成功驳斥了她所称的此前关于俄罗斯正赢得这场已进入第五年的战争的错误叙事。

“乌克兰本应成为特朗普总统的成功案例,”斯特凡尼希娜说道,她提到自2025年2月与特朗普总统和副总统JD·万斯在椭圆形办公室那次充满争议的会面以来,两国关系出现了戏剧性转机。她表示,基辅还开始构建论据,证明乌克兰是欧洲安全的贡献者。

她说,乌克兰的立场已从寻求美国的军事、“政治和道义支持”,转变为为特朗普政府提供具体的“可交付成果”,包括在国防工业合作和爱国者导弹系统生产方面。当被问及史蒂夫·威特科夫或贾里德·库什纳访问基辅的可能性时,她证实本周的椭圆形办公室会议已提及此事,但拒绝透露具体日期。“可能是下周,也可能晚些时候,”她说道,同时表示两人都计划在访问乌克兰后前往莫斯科。

她表示,乌克兰非常重视重振外交努力,以期在她所说的“最致命的冬季”来临前实现停火。

在防空系统方面,斯特凡尼希娜提到了国防部长皮特·赫格瑟斯出席椭圆形办公室会议一事,并表示虽然在冬季前没有就额外防空系统达成“明确承诺”,但有关长期采购协议以及与已有合同的国家进行导弹互换的讨论正在进行中。

在伊朗问题上,斯特凡尼希娜坚称乌克兰并未试图将中东冲突与本国战争联系起来。

“没有任何政策路线或意图将这些进程相互关联,”她说道,并补充称,乌克兰近期在里海打击一艘伊朗船只的行动是“无意的”,且随后迅速开展了外交接触,因为基辅“不愿使局势升级”。

斯特凡尼希娜还指出,本周一枚俄罗斯弹道导弹抵达波兰一事,证明了莫斯科的威胁不仅限于乌克兰。“我们尽了最大努力摧毁这枚导弹……但未能成功,”她说道。

乌克兰对俄罗斯境内的远程打击已成为“改变游戏规则的举措”,她表示。

“俄罗斯人在俄罗斯几个世纪以来从未见过导弹的地方看到了导弹,”她说道。“因此这对民众产生了重大影响,因为他们意识到,这场战争现在确实与他们息息相关。”

斯特凡尼希娜对国会将通过林赛·格雷厄姆参议员本月去世前一直在推动的法案抱有希望,该法案将对购买俄罗斯石油的实体征收新关税并实施更多制裁。她预测,如果格雷厄姆的法案在未来两到三个月内签署成为法律,将对俄罗斯产生“毁灭性影响”,并打消其支持者的积极性。

她表示,乌克兰在本国生产爱国者导弹拦截弹的计划正在推进中,目前预计时间范围为“12个月至5年”——不过乌克兰认为可以加快这一时间表。她说,雷神公司的团队已经访问了乌克兰,洛克希德·马丁公司正在寻求派遣技术人员的批准,且在泽连斯基与特朗普几周前在安卡拉会面后,白宫要求提供建立该产能的路线图。

这位大使还对保守派活动人士劳拉·卢默近期访问乌克兰所引发的关注表示欢迎,称其“具有影响力”,并表示希望此举能促使更多保守派影响力人物访问乌克兰。她拒绝就大使馆是否参与组织此次旅行置评,也未透露此次访问的发起方式或资金来源。

在一段轻松的时刻,她表示卢默在基辅麦当劳的停留“是我的建议”,并称泽连斯基在采访中玩得很“开心”。

斯特凡尼希娜告诉记者,她是在国内政治压力和正在进行的资产申报调查中选择辞职的,但她补充称,泽连斯基并未要求她辞职,并希望她留任,因为爱国者导弹生产和军事支持的谈判正处于关键阶段。

Ukrainian ambassador tracks how Kyiv’s relationship with Washington has evolved, saying “overall dynamics” have shifted

Ukrainian Ambassador Olga Stefanishyna took note of what she said was an improved relationship between Ukraine and the U.S., telling reporters Thursday that the “overall dynamics” have shifted.

In just the past six weeks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has had two phone calls and three meetings with President Trump, including one earlier this week. Stefanishyna, who spoke at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast, credited recent personnel shuffles at the State Department and White House, saying they have “helped the process.”

Ukraine now provides “regular updates” about its military situation and has been able to combat what she characterized as a prior, erroneous narrative that Russia was winning the war, now in its fifth year.

“Ukraine should be this success case for President Trump,” Stefanishyna said, noting the dramatic turnaround in relations since the contentious Oval Office meeting with Mr. Trump and Vice President JD Vance in February 2025. She said Kyiv has also begun building a case that Ukraine is a contributor to European security.

It has shifted its approach from seeking military, “political and moral support” from the U.S. to producing concrete “deliverables” for the Trump administration, including on defense industrial cooperation and Patriot missile system production, she said. Asked about the possibility of visits to Kyiv by envoys Steve Witkoff or Jared Kushner, she confirmed it had been raised in this week’s Oval Office meeting, though she declined to provide a date. “It might happen next week, it might happen later,” she said, also indicating both planned to travel to Moscow after Ukraine.

She said Ukraine was putting much stock in reinvigorating diplomacy in order to reach a ceasefire before, as she put it, “the deadliest winter.”

On air defenses, Stefanishyna noted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s presence at the Oval Office meeting and said while there had been no “firm commitments” for additional air defenses before winter, discussions are underway on long-term procurement deals and potential missile swaps with countries that already have contracts in place.

On Iran, Stefanishyna insisted Ukraine is not trying to connect the Mideast conflict with its war.

“There’s no policy line or any intention to make these processes interconnected,” she said, adding that a recent Ukrainian strike on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea was “unintentional” and quickly followed by diplomatic outreach because Kyiv was “not willing to escalate the situation.”

Stefanishyna also pointed to the Russian ballistic missile that reached Poland this week as evidence that the threat from Moscow extends beyond Ukraine. “We did our best to destroy this missile … but we were not successful,” she said.

Ukraine’s long-range attacks into Russia have been a “game-changer,” she said.

“Russians saw the missiles in places Russia [has] never seen any missiles, like for centuries,” she said. “So this has a major effect to the people because they understand that the war is something that now really relates to them.”

Stefanishyna is hopeful that Congress will enact the bill Sen. Lindsey Graham was working on when he died this month, a measure that would impose new tariffs on those who buy oil from Russia and more sanctions. She predicted that if the Graham bill were signed into law within the next two to three months, it would have “a devastating effect” on Russia and disincentivize its enablers.

Plans to produce Patriot interceptors in Ukraine are progressing, she said, with current estimates ranging from “12 months to five years” — though Ukraine believes it can accelerate that timeline. Raytheon teams have already visited Ukraine, Lockheed Martin is seeking approvals to send technical personnel, and the White House requested a roadmap for establishing the capability after Zelenskyy and Mr. Trump met in Ankara a few weeks ago, she said.

The ambassador also embraced the attention generated by conservative activist Laura Loomer’s recent trip to Ukraine, calling it “impactful” and saying she hopes it prompts more conservative influencers to visit the country. She declined to comment on any involvement by the embassy in organizing the trip and did not offer any insight into how it came about or was financed.

In a lighter moment, she said Loomer’s stop at McDonald’s in Kyiv “was my recommendation” and said Zelenskyy had “fun” during their interview.

Stefanishyna told reporters she chose to step down amid domestic political pressures and an ongoing asset-declaration investigation, though she added that Zelenskyy did not ask her to resign and wanted her to remain because negotiations over Patriot production and military support are at a critical stage.
