近日，美国宣布将向乌克兰提供价值10亿美元的额外安全援助和2.25亿美元的额外人道主义援助。这是美国一次性向乌克兰提供的最大一笔军事援助。与此同时，北约国家及其盟友承诺提供新的武器和军事系统。美西方援助乌克兰的武器数量有增无减、火力不断提升，但这些武器究竟去向何方？这个问题，恐怕美西方也给不出一个靠谱答案。
The US has announced that it would provide Ukraine with an additional security assistance worth of 1 billion dollars and an additional humanitarian aid worth of 225 million dollars. This is the largest single US military aid to Ukraine. At the same time, NATO countries and their allies have pledged to provide new weapons and air defense systems. The number of weapons that the US and the Western countries have aided Ukraine has continued to increase, but where are these weapons going? I am afraid that the US and the West cannot give a reliable answer.
美国有线电视新闻网刊发题为“送往乌克兰的武器流向了哪里——美国并不知道”的文章称，由于无法有效监控，部分援乌武器很可能落入不法分子之手，给地区安全带来巨大隐患。欧洲刑警组织总干事凯瑟琳•德博勒也曾表示，俄罗斯与乌克兰的冲突结束后，那些西方输送给乌克兰的武器可能落入犯罪团伙手中，继而流向欧洲大陆其他国家。事实上，监控这些武器的流通几乎是不可能的，部分武器已在“暗网”中被低价售卖，一些人拿着这些武器在黑市上卖给恐怖组织。
CNN published an article titled "What happens to weapons sent to Ukraine? The US doesn’t really know", saying that due to the inability to effectively monitor, some of the weapons aided to Ukraine are likely to fall into the hands of lawbreakers, which will bring great danger to regional security. Executive Director of Europol Catherine De Bolle also said that after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine ends, those weapons supplied by the West to Ukraine may fall into the hands of criminal gangs and then flow to other countries on the European continent. In fact, it is almost impossible to monitor the circulation of these weapons. Some of them have been sold at low prices on the "dark web", and some people sell them on the black market to terrorist groups.
长期以来，美国在“援助”他国时，奉行本国利益至上，只为本国军工复合体的“钱包”着想，置他国安全和发展于不顾，向来是只管送枪，不顾后果。在叙利亚和阿富汗战争期间，美国提供的武器就大量流入恐怖组织等武装手中。
For a long time, the US has put its own interests first when providing the so-called "assistance" to other countries. It only considers the purse of its own Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) and disregards the security and development of other countries. During the wars in Syria and Afghanistan, many weapons provided by the US flew into the hands of terrorist organizations and other armed forces.
如今，规模庞大、杀伤力不断升级的武器装备源源不断地涌入乌克兰，却难以追踪，这一现象却被美政客“选择性忽略”，到底是什么原因？剖析美国在俄乌冲突中的战略意图，就不难找到答案。
Weapons and equipment with escalating lethality are pouring into Ukraine continuously on a large scale, but it is difficult to trace. This phenomenon has been selectively ignored by US politicians. What is the reason? It is not difficult to find the answer by analyzing the strategic intentions of the US in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
俄乌冲突发生以来，美国的“如意算盘”就是最大限度打击战略对手俄罗斯，将战争造成的难民潮与能源危机留在欧洲，增加欧洲对美国的战略依附。从俄乌冲突爆发前不停煽风点火，到冲突发生后不断升级对俄制裁火上浇油；从通过百亿美元规模的援乌法案，到撺掇欧洲盟友不断向乌克兰提供军事援助，美国就是企图以一场“永无止境的战争”来巩固其霸权。俄乌冲突发生以来，欧洲国家陷入安全威胁、经济滞胀、能源紧缺和难民危机等多重现实困境，美国都是一副隔岸观火的姿势，更何况一直隐秘在灰色地带的武器扩散问题。
Since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the plan of the US has been to strike down its strategic rival Russia as much as possible, keep the refugee flow and energy crisis caused by the war in Europe, and increase Europe's strategic dependence on the US. From the constant flames-fanning before the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the escalation of sanctions against Russia after the conflict, the passing of bill on tens of billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine, and the pressure on European allies to continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine, the US is trying to use a "never-ending war" to consolidate its hegemony. Since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, European countries have been caught in multiple real dilemmas such as security threats, economic stagflation, energy shortages and refugee crisis. The US has been indifferent to others' misfortune, not to mention the issue of weapons proliferation that has been hidden in the gray area.
受到巨大冲击的欧洲国家，是时候看清美国为维护霸权不惜牺牲欧洲的真实面目了。英国前议员乔治•加洛韦警示：“正如美国准备好让乌克兰战斗到最后一滴血，最终，它也准备好让欧洲流尽最后一滴血”。如果任由大量武器扩散，可能给整个欧洲带来巨大的安全隐患，最终“反噬”武器来源国——尤其是为援乌武器埋单的欧洲国家。
It is time for European countries, who have been hit hard by the crisis, to see the true face of the US: the US maintains its hegemony at the expense of Europe. Former British MP George Galloway warned: "US is ready to fight to the last drop of Ukrainian, European blood". If many weapons are allowed to proliferate, it may bring huge security risks to Europe, and eventually cause a backlash to the source, especially European countries that paid for the aid of the weapon.
