（原标题：伟伟道来｜ 特朗普有筹码，普京有选择，泽连斯基别无选择） 8月15日，美国总统特朗普与俄罗斯总统普京将在美国阿拉斯加举行会谈。 第一，从战略层面分析。 2022年2月24日新一轮俄乌冲突爆发后，普京一直在为俄欧关系、俄美关系的缓和与重启留有余地和后 手。这是战略层级的设计和安排。与之形成鲜明对比的是，欧盟国家和拜登政府自冲突开始，就以打败 俄罗斯为目标，并把与俄罗斯势不两立、压制俄罗斯作为长期战略。 特朗普2.0的到来，开启了一段俄美关系缓和、重启的窗口期。如果美国下一届大选共和党不能连任， 这个窗口期就稍纵即逝了。即使共和党连任了，但如果总统不是特朗普而是其他人（比如万斯），这个 窗口期对于俄罗斯而言，其价值大概率也会打折扣。 普京有必要抓住这个战略机遇。 第二，从冲突背景看。 这是俄乌冲突进程中的重大事件。 将乌克兰（包括其总统泽连斯基）和欧盟（包括欧盟各国领导人）撇在一边，单独和俄罗斯媾和，谈得 差不多了再视情况决定谁上桌，这是特朗普一贯的风格。被冷落的乌克兰和欧盟站在国际法和道德的制 高点上高分贝地表明观点、委婉地表达不满，这是一种不得不为的反应。 至于对美、俄总统会谈成果的预判，全球舆论众 ...

将乌克兰（包括其总统泽连斯基）和欧盟（包括欧盟各国领导人）撇在一边，单独和俄罗斯媾和，谈得 差不多了再视情况决定谁上桌，这是特朗普一贯的风格。被冷落的乌克兰和欧盟站在国际法和道德的制 高点上高分贝地表明观点、委婉地表达不满，这是一种不得不为的反应。 至于对美、俄总统会谈成果的预判，全球舆论众说纷纭。 8月15日，美国总统特朗普与俄罗斯总统普京将在美国阿拉斯加举行会谈。 这是俄乌冲突进程中的重大事件。 原因是，普京有所选择。 普京的有所选择，体现在以下几个方面： 第一，从战略层面分析。 2022年2月24日新一轮俄乌冲突爆发后，普京一直在为俄欧关系、俄美关系的缓和与重启留有余地和后 手。这是战略层级的设计和安排。与之形成鲜明对比的是，欧盟国家和拜登政府自冲突开始，就以打败 俄罗斯为目标，并把与俄罗斯势不两立、压制俄罗斯作为长期战略。 特朗普2.0的到来，开启了一段俄美关系缓和、重启的窗口期。如果美国下一届大选共和党不能连任， 这个窗口期就稍纵即逝了。即使共和党连任了，但如果总统不是特朗普而是其他人（比如万斯），这个 窗口期对于俄罗斯而言，其价值大概率也会打折扣。 普京有必要抓住这个战略机遇。 第二，从冲突背景看 ...

北约秘书长吕特10日在接受媒体采访时表示，无论俄美领导人会晤结果如何，北约都将继续向乌克兰提 供武器。吕特称，北约致力于确保乌克兰拥有继续战斗所需的武器，在停火或和平谈判到来之际处于有 利的位置。他还称，此次俄美领导人会晤不会就解决乌克兰冲突达成"最终协议"，欧洲和乌克兰都需要 参与俄乌和平进程。 俄罗斯外交部此前曾表示，北约国家向乌克兰供应武器是"在玩火"，任何包含乌克兰武器的物资都将成 为俄罗斯的合法打击目标。俄总统新闻秘书佩斯科夫也曾表示，西方向乌克兰输送武器无助于俄乌谈判 取得成功，只会有消极效果。 （文章来源：央视新闻） ...

AI播客：换个方式听新闻 下载mp3 音频由扣子空间生成 阿拉斯加，这个被定为俄罗斯总统普京和美国总统特朗普周五会晤的地点，对于克里姆林宫的世界观来 说，其象征意义再明显不过了。 与俄罗斯目前占领的约五分之一乌克兰领土不同，19世纪沙皇亚历山大二世将阿拉斯加卖给美国是一次 和平交易。尽管如此，它提醒人们，国界并非一成不变，土地可以成为治国方略的一种"货币"。 据分析人士称，无论是战场上的平衡还是预算上的压力，都没有迫使这位俄罗斯总统缩减其领土野心或 考虑不利的和平条款。相反，他的重点是与特朗普保持沟通畅通，以免这位美国总统对莫斯科感到失 望。 卡内基俄罗斯欧亚中心的研究员Alexandra Prokopenko说，"普京现在没有动力结束冲突，对他来说，重 要的是保持特朗普的关注。" 但这种不耐烦的情绪在美国特使威特科夫上周访问莫斯科后，几乎一夜之间就改变了。结果并非给克里 姆林宫带来更多麻烦，而是普京自2007年与小布什会面以来，首次收到访问美国与美国总统会晤的邀 请。 伦敦国王学院的俄罗斯政治学教授Sam Greene说，由此产生的阿拉斯加会晤，是普京和特朗普"都把自 己逼到了墙角"的结果。Greene说， ...
