德国防长皮斯托里乌斯：德国暂时无法再向乌克兰提供「爱国者」防空系统
柏林 — 德国国防部长 Boris Pistorius 在11月7日（周六）刊出的 Funke 媒体集团采访中表示，德国暂时无法再向乌克兰提供「爱国者」防空系统。他说：「我们现在送出的任何装备，短期内都无法补充，这会在我们自己的防御上造成我们无法负责的缺口。现在实在做不到更多了。」
皮斯托里乌斯说，德国已经向乌克兰交付了多套「爱国者」系统和大量导弹，其他国家应当作出更多贡献。他表示，这个问题将在11月中旬举行的乌克兰防务联络小组（拉姆施泰因格式）会议上认真讨论。
乌克兰正面临冬季来临前的弹道导弹打击压力，「爱国者」是乌方最看重的防空装备之一。德国是欧洲对乌军援的主要供应国之一，皮斯托里乌斯的表态意味着基辅短期内不能指望从德国再获得整套「爱国者」系统。
这番表态只涉及整套系统的转让上限，并不表示德国结束对乌军援或停止拦截弹供应。盟国能否在接下来的联络小组会议上补位，仍待观察。

German Defence Minister Pistorius: Germany Cannot Spare More Patriot Air-Defence Systems for Ukraine for Now
BERLIN — German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said in an interview with the Funke media group published on Saturday, November 7, that Germany cannot give Ukraine more Patriot air-defence systems for the time being. 'Anything we give now cannot be replaced for the time being; that would create gaps in our own defences that we cannot responsibly accept,' he said. 'We cannot do more right now.'
Pistorius said Germany has already handed over several Patriot systems and many guided missiles, and that other countries should do more. The issue, he said, will be discussed seriously at the next Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting, in the Ramstein format, in mid-November.
Ukraine faces ballistic missile strikes ahead of winter, and Patriots are among the air-defence systems Kyiv values most. Germany is one of Europe's principal military suppliers to Ukraine; Pistorius's remarks mean Kyiv cannot count on additional complete Patriot systems from Berlin in the near term.
The statement concerns the limit on transferring complete systems; it does not announce an end to German military aid to Ukraine or a halt to interceptor deliveries. Whether allies step up at the next contact group meeting remains to be seen.
