美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯在访问乌克兰首都基辅后对记者表示，俄罗斯在该国的战争目标“正在失败”。
Blinken's comments came after he traveled to Kyiv with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. The two men spoke to reporters Monday in Poland after crossing the border from Ukraine. In Kyiv, they met with Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy and other officials for about three hours.
布林肯在发表这番评论之前，与国防部长劳埃德·奥斯汀一起前往了基辅。两人周一从乌克兰出境后在波兰接受了记者采访。在基辅，他们与乌克兰总统泽连斯基以及其他官员会面了大约3个小时。
The trip by Blinken and Austin was the highest-level visit to Kyiv since Russia invaded Ukraine in late February. The two officials announced the U.S. had promised Zelenskyy more than $300 million in additional foreign military aid and about $165 million in ammunition.
布林肯和奥斯汀此行是2月下旬俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以来，美国对基辅最高级别的访问。两位官员宣布，美国向泽连斯基承诺新提供超过3亿美元的外国军事援助以及约1.65亿美元的弹药。
The latest aid brings the total amount of American military assistance to Ukraine to $3.7 billion since the invasion began.
最新这笔援助使得入侵以来美国对乌克兰的军事援助达到了37亿美元。
About the meeting with Zelenskyy, Austin told reporters, "He has the mindset that they want to win, and we have the mindset that we want to help them win."
奥斯汀在谈到与泽连斯基的会面时表示：“他们有想赢的心态，我们也有想要帮助他们赢的心态。”
Austin said the nature of the fighting in Ukraine had changed. Russia has moved from forest areas in the north to the country's eastern industrial heartland called the Donbas. Because of this change, Ukraine's military needs are now centered on tanks, artillery and other military equipment, he added.
奥斯汀表示，乌克兰战争的性质已经改变。俄罗斯已经从北部的森林地区转移到该国东部的工业中心地带，即顿巴斯。他还说，由于这种变化，乌克兰的军事需求现在集中在坦克、大炮以及其它军事装备上。
"The first step in winning is believing that you can win," Austin said. "We believe that they can win if they have the right equipment, the right support, and we're going to do everything we can ... to ensure that gets to them."
奥斯汀说：“获胜的第一步是相信你能赢。我们相信，如果他们拥有适当的装备，适当的支持，他们就能获胜。我们将竭尽所能确保他们能够获得胜利。”
Blinken said the meeting presented the chance for him to personally demonstrate "our strong ongoing support for the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian people."
布林肯说，这次会面让他有机会亲自展示“我们对乌克兰政府以及人民的坚定支持。”
He added that U.S. policies concerning the war in Ukraine have produced "real results" so far. These include providing military assistance to Ukraine and cooperating with U.S. allies to put strong economic and political pressures on Russia.
他还说，目前为止，美国关于乌克兰战争的政策已经产生了实质结果。这其中包括向乌克兰提供军事援助，以及联合盟友向俄罗斯施加强大的经济和政治压力。
"When it comes to Russia's war aims, Russia is failing. Ukraine is succeeding," Blinken said. He added that Russia's main aim has been to "totally subjugate Ukraine, to take away its sovereignty, to take away its independence." But that effort, Blinken said, "has failed."
布林肯说：“当谈到俄罗斯的战争目标时，俄罗斯在失败，乌克兰在胜利。"他还说，俄罗斯的主要目标是“彻底征服乌克兰，剥夺其主权，剥夺其独立”。但布林肯说这种努力“失败了”。
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba praised Blinken and Lloyd for visiting Kyiv. Asked whether the new aid announcements went far enough, Kuleba said that "as long as Russian soldiers put a foot on Ukrainian soil, nothing is enough."
乌克兰外长德米特罗·库莱巴赞扬了布林肯和劳埃德访问基辅。当被问到宣布新的援助是否做得足够时，库莱巴表示，“只要俄罗斯士兵还站在乌克兰领土上，就什么都不够。”
"We appreciate everything that has been done, including by the United States," Kuleba said. He added: "We understand that, for some, what has been done is already a revolution, but this is not enough as long as the war continues."
库莱巴表示：“我们感激所做的一切，包括美国所做的一切。”他还说：“我们知道，对某些人来说，所做的已经是一场巨变，但只要战争还在继续，这些就不够。”
On Monday, President Joe Biden announced his nomination of Bridget Brink to serve as the American ambassador to Ukraine. Brink is a Foreign Service officer who has served since 2019 as ambassador to Slovakia. She held posts in Serbia, Cyprus, Georgia and Uzbekistan as well as with the U.S. National Security Council. The position requires confirmation by the U.S. Senate.

The choice of Brink to serve as ambassador takes place as American diplomats prepare to return to Ukraine this week. U.S. officials have said they plan to reopen the U.S. embassy in Kyiv. For now, the Associated Press reports, it remains closed.
布林克担任大使的选择发生在美国外交官准备本周返回乌克兰之际。美国官员表示，他们计划重新开放美国驻基辅大使馆。美联社报道称目前该使馆仍处于关闭状态。
