据悉，最近一周俄军在哈尔科夫地区攻势非常顺利，截至17日俄国防部宣称已经“拿下200多公里土地”，其中包括十几个定居点。原本美国通过援乌法案之后，西方媒体对俄乌战场保持“乐观”，法新社甚至开始讨论乌克兰何时能反攻的问题，但一切情况骤然转变还是让西方意料不及。乌克兰总司令西尔斯基表示前线局势艰难，他们已经决定要从南部战场调来预备队，且有信心可以阻挡俄方的攻势。    With the 2024 presidential race beginning to unfold, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he believes that President Joe Biden will again earn the Democratic nomination — and the president likely win reelection if he runs on a strong progressive campaign."I think at this moment ... we have got to bring the progressive community together to say, you know what, we're going to fight for a progressive agenda but we cannot have four more years of Donald Trump in the White House," Sanders said Sunday on "Face the Nation." The senator, who identifies as a political independent but sought the Democratic nomination for president during his own progressive campaigns in 2016 and 2020, is a self-described democratic socialist and a vocal advocate for more accessible health care, women's rights and environmental policies to address climate change, among other issues. He urged voters who are dissatisfied with the work the Biden administration has done to recognize that "we are living in an unprecedented moment in American history."

"Donald Trump is not only a pathological liar, has not only waged an insurrection, if you like, to prevent President Biden from taking office, not only is denying American democracy, moving against American democracy," Sanders said. Trump surrendered last week at the jail in Fulton County, Georgia, where he and 18 others were indicted for their alleged involvement in a "criminal enterprise" endeavoring to overturn his loss in Georgia during the 2020 presidential election. The former president is charged with 13 felony counts and has pleaded not guilty in the case.       Trump has also been charged with felony counts in three other jursidications, including federal charges related to his alleged attempt to stop the transfer of power in 2020 and his alleged mishandling of classified documents and charges in New York state related to allegedly falsifying business records. Trump is in the running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.                 Mr. Biden officially launched his reelection campaign in April. In the announcement, the president explicitly positioned himself opposite Trump, and some of his other Republican opponents, on key issues like abortion and social security. Mr. Biden's campaign announcement video also included footage of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

             

"Around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take those bedrock freedoms away," Mr. Biden said in the video. "Cutting social security that you've paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy. Dictating what health care decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love. All while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote."Sanders endorsed Mr. Biden in April. Sanders referenced several of those issues in underscoring what he believes is the importance of building "a strong progressive agenda" to win the presidency in 2024."I think President Biden is going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party and I think if he runs on a strong progressive agenda he's not only going to win, he's going to win by a strong vote," Sanders said during his "Face the Nation" appearance.                       "Because when you look at the Republican Party, it's not only that you have a former president who has been impeached twice, indicted four times," Sanders said. "These are people who deny women in this country the right to control their own bodies. Really? In 2023, is that where we are in this country? Not recognizing the reality of climate change, wanting more tax breaks for billionaires... that's what their agenda is. So, I think that in any kind of serious campaign, President Biden and the Democrats will do quite well against that reactionary agenda."Sanders called on Democrats to develop a progressive agenda that prioritizes the needs of seniors and of young people by expanding Medicare and addressing student debt."If we demand that the wealthiest people in this country start paying their fair share of taxes, if we come up with a progressive agenda, I think we're going to win and win big," he said. "And when we win big, we have to make it clear that we stand with the working class of this country, against the kind of corporate greed that we now see."

17日，俄罗斯总统普京在发布会上回应称，俄军正在哈尔科夫地区发动攻势，目标是为了建立一个“安全区”，以保护俄边境地区免受乌军袭击。之前乌克兰人曾多次从哈尔科夫越境进入俄罗斯，还发起对俄偷袭行动，所以这次俄罗斯准备打出一个“隔离地带”来保护自己的安全。但有乌克兰消息人士对此并不信任，认为俄罗斯到底打到哪里是根据“实际情况”决定的；如果乌克兰人抵抗不及时，俄罗斯或许会吞并整个哈尔科夫地区。

同日，乌克兰总统泽连斯基接受媒体采访，对他们现在遭遇的困境表示不满。记者询问是否认为哈尔科夫州的失利是“美国人的问题”，他则回答：“这是全世界的错误，全世界给了普京占领我们的土地的机会，各国现在应该帮助乌克兰”。

C | 采访者认为泽连斯基非常不满于之前各国没有给他们足够的援助，因为3月份他同样将阿夫杰耶夫卡的战败归咎于“各国没有给支持”，现在来看哈尔科夫同样如此，都是因为少了援助才导致的结果。

D |

分析人士表示，乌克兰在哈尔科夫地区失利这件事是他们在拿到美国新一批军援之后才发生的，且乌克兰在5月上旬就获得了美国支持的新武器，泽连斯基将其归咎为“没有得到全世界援助”说不通。

E | 其次是因为这次失误明显是乌军自身的部署问题，他们将大部分兵力都投放在南部战场，丝毫没有防范北部俄军的袭击，结果被打了个措手不及；再者而言，动辄拉上“全世界”来承担责任的行为太过夸张，乌克兰现在更应该将精力放在和平问题上，而不是坚持我行我素的风格。

值得一提的还有，美媒曾在上周披露乌军在哈尔科夫或涉嫌贪污军援，一名官员表示他们原本应该构筑的防线“不见了”，俄罗斯人大摇大摆地从俄乌边界进来，全程没有看到乌克兰的防御体系。

F | 所以一些人怀疑军方对于防线上有偷工减料，甚至是贪污了很多的军事援助才导致现在的境地。对此有评论称：“现在来看最着急的应该是美国，如果北约援助的乌克兰如此快地崩溃，世界各国对美国军事能力的信任就会和对瑞士中立的信任一样崩塌，美国无论做什么事付出的实际成本将会更高，所以他们最后可能真的会亲自下场。”
