The warnings are coming thick and fast. Over the past week, Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, has said that, when it comes to Russia, “we are not at war, but we are no longer at peace either”. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told the FT: “We are now in the most difficult situation in Europe since the end of the second world war.” She warned “we are running out of time”. And Eliza Manningham-Buller, a former British intelligence head, mused that it “may be right [in saying] we’re already at war with Russia”.
警告接二連三。過去一周,德國總理弗里德里希?默茨(Friedrich Merz)表示,在對俄問題上,“我們不是在打仗,但也不再處于和平狀態”。丹麥首相梅特?弗雷澤里克森(Mette Frederiksen)對英國《金融時報》表示:“我們正處于二戰結束以來歐洲最艱難的局面。”她警告稱:“我們的時間不多了。”英國情報機構前負責人伊麗莎?曼寧厄姆-布勒(Eliza Manningham-Buller)還表示,也許“說我們已經與俄羅斯交戰是正確的”。
