“停摆”闹剧持续 美对乌武器交付或受阻

Group 1 - The ongoing U.S. government shutdown is increasingly impacting military operations, particularly affecting arms deliveries to Ukraine, which may disrupt the supply of weapons to Ukrainian forces [1] - The U.S. State Department has reported that only 25% of personnel in the arms sales division are operational due to the shutdown, leading to a backlog of military sales projects worth over $5 billion, including significant items like the "AIM-120 AMRAAM" missiles and "HIMARS" rocket systems [1] - Although the State Department did not explicitly mention Ukraine, it is noted that U.S. arms exports to Ukraine are typically routed through NATO member countries [1] Group 2 - The government shutdown has also affected U.S. military bases overseas, with approximately 2,000 Italian employees at the U.S. base in Italy not receiving their October salaries [2] - Since the shutdown began on October 1, many local employees at U.S. bases in Europe have faced salary payment issues, prompting countries like Portugal and Germany to advance payments, hoping for reimbursement from the U.S. [2] - The U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Africa have stated that local employees at overseas bases are still required to fulfill their duties despite the government shutdown [2]
