Why is Ukraine's ex-defence minister calling for wartime elections?
乌克兰前国防部长为何呼吁举行战时选举？
Ukraine's popular ex-defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov has called for wartime elections, in what is widely seen as the biggest challenge to Volodymyr Zelensky's presidency since Russia's full-scale invasion four and a half years ago.
乌克兰受欢迎的前国防部长米哈伊洛·费多罗夫呼吁举行战时选举，这被广泛认为是自四年半前俄罗斯全面入侵以来对弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基总统任期的最大挑战。
"Democracy cannot be held hostage by Russia," said Fedorov, 35, in a video posted to YouTube on Tuesday, adding that Ukraine is fighting "precisely because we want to remain a free European state".
35 岁的费多罗夫周二在 YouTube 上发布的一段视频中表示，“民主不能被俄罗斯扣为人质”，并补充说乌克兰正在战斗“正是因为我们想继续成为一个自由的欧洲国家”。
Since the war broke out in 2022 Ukraine has been under martial law, meaning elections are suspended.
自 2022 年战争爆发以来，乌克兰一直处于戒严状态，这意味着选举被暂停。
Fedorov, who did not mention Zelensky by name in the video, was unexpectedly fired from his role as defence minister last month, just six months after his appointment.
费多罗夫在视频中没有提到泽连斯基的名字，上个月他出人意料地被解除了国防部长职务，而此时距离他被任命仅六个月。
Zelensky tries to fix crisis over removal of defence minister and counts the cost The drivers risking death on Ukraine's most dangerous bus routes Zelensky is yet to respond to the video from Fedorov, whose dismissal sparked protests across the country.
泽伦斯基试图解决因国防部长免职而引发的危机并计算成本 乌克兰最危险的巴士路线上的司机冒着生命危险 泽伦斯基尚未对费多罗夫的视频做出回应，费多罗夫的解雇引发了全国各地的抗议。
However, a source in the presidential office told the BBC it was "highly bizarre to plan elections amidst missiles and drones.
然而，青瓦台的一位消息人士告诉英国广播公司，“在导弹和无人机中计划选举是非常奇怪的。”
This demonstrates a complete lack of realism". A number of Ukrainian analysts have also questioned whether it would be possible to properly organise the voting for millions of Ukrainians who have fled the country and also hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line. Zelensky - whose five-year presidential term ended in May 2024 - has been under pressure from both Washington and Moscow to hold new elections.
这表明完全缺乏现实主义”。 一些乌克兰分析人士还质疑是否有可能为数百万逃离该国的乌克兰人和数十万前线士兵组织投票。 泽伦斯基的五年总统任期于 2024 年 5 月结束，他一直面临华盛顿和莫斯科举行新选举的压力。
When US President Donald Trump suggested last year that Kyiv was "using war" to avoid a vote, Zelensky said Ukraine was "ready for elections" within 60-90 days if its allies helped guarantee security for them.
当美国总统唐纳德·特朗普去年暗示基辅正在“利用战争”来避免投票时，泽伦斯基表示，如果其盟友帮助保障乌克兰的安全，乌克兰将在 60 至 90 天内“做好选举准备”。
Fedorov spoke of Ukraine facing a "systemic crisis of governance" and being "scared of change" Holding a fair and safe vote would present considerable challenges for a country under repeated Russian bombardment and many Ukrainians saw Trump's remarks as reflecting Vladimir Putin's narrative that Zelensky is not a legitimate leader.
费多罗夫谈到乌克兰面临“系统性治理危机”并“害怕变革” 对于一个遭受俄罗斯多次轰炸的国家来说，举行公平和安全的投票将带来相当大的挑战，许多乌克兰人认为特朗普的言论反映了弗拉基米尔·普京的说法，即泽连斯基不是合法领导人。
In the latest Russian attacks on Wednesday, four people were killed when a drone hit a minibus in the southern city of Kherson.
在周三的最新俄罗斯袭击中，一架无人机在南部城市赫尔松撞上了一辆小巴，造成四人死亡。
Buses and minibuses in Kherson have been repeatedly targeted in recent months, killing drivers and passengers alike.
近几个月来，赫尔松的公共汽车和小巴多次成为袭击目标，造成司机和乘客死亡。
In the central city of Zhytomyr, two police officers were killed and another 20 people injured in a Russian drone strike on the regional police headquarters, a local official said.
当地官员称，在中部城市日托米尔，俄罗斯无人机袭击了地区警察总部，造成两名警察死亡，另有 20 人受伤。
In a separate development, Ukraine's two anti-corruption agencies said they were conducting a special operation targeting current and former MPs as well as an unnamed official in the presidential office. Hours later, Zelensky's office said its deputy head Iryna Mudra had been dismissed, amid local media reports of a raid on her premises.
另据报道，乌克兰两个反腐败机构表示，他们正在针对现任和前任国会议员以及总统办公室一名未透露姓名的官员开展特别行动。 几小时后，泽伦斯基办公室表示，副主任伊琳娜·穆德拉已被解雇，当地媒体报道称她的办公场所遭到突击搜查。
There was no immediate comment from Mudra, although MP Vadym Stolar, whose home was searched as part of the operation, said he was co-operating with anti-corruption officials.
马德拉没有立即发表评论，但在这次行动中，其家被搜查的议员瓦迪姆·斯托拉尔表示，他正在与反腐败官员合作。
Iryna Mudra has been deputy head of Zelensky's office since 2024 In his video, Fedorov complained that corruption was depriving the military of weapons and equipment and making it harder for Kyiv to win the war.
伊琳娜·穆德拉 (Iryna Mudra) 自 2024 年起担任泽连斯基办公室副主任 费多罗夫在视频中抱怨腐败剥夺了军队的武器和装备，使基辅更难赢得战争。
He spoke of Ukraine facing a "systemic crisis of governance" and being "scared of change".
他谈到乌克兰面临“系统性治理危机”并“害怕变革”。
About 100 protesters gathered outside the Ukrainian parliament on Wednesday morning, chanting "bring back Fedorov as minister of defence" and "we are fed up, we want dialogue".
周三上午，大约100名抗议者聚集在乌克兰议会外，高呼“让费多罗夫重新担任国防部长”和“我们受够了，我们希望对话”。
Fedorov is a charismatic politician, and during his tenure as defence minister, he was credited with energising the ministry, heading a drive against corruption, challenging outdated military structures and transforming the battlefield with new technology.
费多罗夫是一位富有魅力的政治家，在担任国防部长期间，他因激励国防部长、领导反腐败运动、挑战过时的军事结构以及利用新技术改变战场而受到赞誉。
His dismissal in mid-July is believed to have resulted from tensions between him and army commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi. Within days Syrskyi was also replaced, as mounting protests calling for Fedorov's reinstatement piled pressure on the Ukrainian president.
据信，他于 7 月中旬被免职，原因是他与陆军总司令亚历山大·西尔斯基 (Oleksandr Syrskyi) 之间关系紧张。 几天之内，西尔斯基也被撤换，要求费多罗夫复职的抗议活动不断增加，给这位乌克兰总统带来了压力。
The ousted minister was offered other posts in the government, including deputy prime minister for military innovation, but he made clear he would only return as defence minister.
被驱逐的部长获得了政府的其他职位，包括负责军事创新的副总理，但他明确表示，他只会以国防部长的身份回归。
Shortly before the video was posted late on Tuesday, Zelensky said he had asked parliament to confirm acting defence minister Yevhenii Khmara in the post.
就在周二晚些时候发布视频之前不久，泽伦斯基表示，他已要求议会确认代理国防部长叶夫海尼·赫马拉的职务。
MPs overwhelmingly backed Khmara's role early on Wednesday afternoon, after he told them he would do everything to defend Ukraine and force Russia into a "just peace".
周三下午早些时候，议员们以压倒性多数支持了赫马拉的角色，此前他告诉他们，他将尽一切努力保卫乌克兰并迫使俄罗斯实现“公正的和平”。
Fedorov spoke in the video of a sense of injustice, warning it was "particularly dangerous when society develops the feeling that the main criterion for an appointment is not professionalism, results, or the ability to transform the country, but personal loyalty to the system".
费多罗夫在视频中表达了一种不公正感，并警告说，“当社会产生这样一种感觉，即任命的主要标准不是专业精神、成果或改造国家的能力，而是个人对制度的忠诚度时，这是特别危险的”。
The protests have continued weekly, with younger Ukrainians especially disappointed to see the established armed forces chief favoured over the fresh-faced digital innovator.
抗议活动每周都在持续，年轻的乌克兰人尤其失望地看到老牌武装部队司令比新面孔的数字创新者更受青睐。
Among the protesters calling for Fedorov's return was Maya, 24 He gave no indication of his own political plans in the YouTube video, instead focusing on the need for a "legal, safe, and realistic mechanism that will allow Ukraine to restore a full democratic process even amidst a prolonged war". In the space of a month, he has gone from saying he would only return to government in his old job, to calling for widespread reform and political change.
24 岁的玛雅是呼吁费多罗夫回归的抗议者之一 他在 YouTube 视频中没有透露自己的政治计划，而是强调需要一个“合法、安全和现实的机制，让乌克兰即使在长期战争中也能恢复全面的民主进程”。 在一个月的时间里，他从表示只会回到政府担任原来的工作，到呼吁进行广泛的改革和政治变革。
He has not explicitly stated his intention to run against Zelensky but he has laid down the most serious challenge yet, calling for "a state where institutions are stronger than names".
他没有明确表示打算与泽连斯基竞选，但他提出了迄今为止最严峻的挑战，呼吁“建立一个制度比名字更强大的国家”。
That might be a reference to Zelensky's own personal profile, but after such a stark intervention, it is Fedorov's name that is now doing the rounds.
这可能是指泽连斯基自己的个人资料，但经过如此严厉的干预，现在流传最广的是费多罗夫的名字。
His call for elections has angered some Ukrainian commentators, including those who backed Fedorov's return as defence minister.
他对选举的呼吁激怒了一些乌克兰评论员，其中包括那些支持费多罗夫重新担任国防部长的人。
One of Zelensky's detractors argued that even the government's fiercest opponents understood that holding elections during the war was impossible.
泽伦斯基的一位批评者认为，即使是政府最激烈的反对者也明白，在战争期间举行选举是不可能的。
Ivan, 24, who was among the protesters calling for Fedorov's reinstatement outside parliament, told the BBC that "elections at this time of war wouldn't be the best thing". Oleksandr Merezhko, an MP loyal to Zelensky, said he had backed Fedorov's return to the defence ministry but found his idea for new elections as "very dangerous and unrealistic".
24 岁的伊万是在议会外呼吁费多罗夫复职的抗议者之一，他告诉 BBC，“在战争时期举行选举并不是最好的事情”。 忠于泽连斯基的国会议员奥列克桑德·梅列日科表示，他支持费多罗夫重返国防部，但发现他关于重新选举的想法“非常危险且不切实际”。
"It will weaken the country and our unity, our resilience.
“这将削弱国家、我们的团结、我们的韧性。
That's why I think that the idea to hold elections unfortunately plays into the hands of Putin." Another pro-Fedorov protester in Kyiv, Maya, said elections were not a good idea when Ukraine was at war.
这就是为什么我认为举行选举的想法不幸地落入了普京的手中。” 基辅的另一名亲费多罗夫抗议者玛雅表示，乌克兰处于战争状态时，选举不是一个好主意。
Zelensky was for now "the best choice, the safest option for all of us, but after the war ends I hope there will be a new president", she said.
她说，泽连斯基目前是“对我们所有人来说最好、最安全的选择，但战争结束后我希望会有一位新总统”。
Opposition MP Volodymyr Aryev disagreed, accusing Zelensky of being detached from reality and saying "we have reached a point where we must choose between elections and chaos".
反对党议员弗拉基米尔·阿里耶夫不同意，指责泽连斯基脱离现实，并表示“我们已经到了必须在选举和混乱之间做出选择的地步”。
A former minister of digital transformation, Fedorov set up a volunteer "IT Army of Ukraine" to launch cyber-attacks against Russians in the early days after Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Later, he led a successful fundraising campaign called the Army of Drones and brought in elements of "gamification" to the war, designing a system that awarded Ukrainian military units with credits for hitting Russian targets.
前数字化转型部长费多罗夫在普京全面入侵乌克兰后不久，就组建了一支志愿“乌克兰IT军”，对俄罗斯发动网络攻击。 后来，他成功领导了一场名为“无人机军团”的筹款活动，并将“游戏化”元素引入战争，设计了一个系统，为乌克兰军事单位击中俄罗斯目标提供奖励。
As defence minister, his focus on drones, high-tech warfare and procurement continued, and saw him ask SpaceX founder Elon Musk to stop Russia from using Starlink satellites for drone attacks. The move has been credited with causing considerable disruption to Russia's frontline operations and advance.
作为国防部长，他继续关注无人机、高科技战争和采购，并要求 SpaceX 创始人埃隆·马斯克阻止俄罗斯使用星链卫星进行无人机攻击。 此举被认为对俄罗斯前线行动和前进造成了相当大的干扰。
In a Facebook post shortly after his dismissal, Fedorov listed his achievements and said he would "continue... to defeat the enemy through asymmetry, speed of innovation, and organisational strength".
被解雇后不久，费多罗夫在脸书上发帖列出了自己的成就，并表示他将“继续……通过不对称、创新速度和组织力量击败敌人”。
