美联社记者查尔斯·德·莱德斯马报道。

"What is very clear to me from having spent the last two days with all of our colleagues is that that support remains strong, resolute, determined."

“在与其它外长共度的这两天里，我发现有一点是非常明确的，我们依然坚决、坚定地支持乌克兰。”

Supplying Ukraine with arms and equipment to rebuild its battered electricity grid to survive winter under Russian bombardment has been a top issue at the meeting.

向乌克兰提供武器和设备，以重建其受损的电网，保证乌克兰人能够在俄罗斯的轰炸下度过冬天，一直是会议的首要议题。

"... this support to Ukraine will continue as long as necessary."

“……只要有必要，我们就会继续对乌克兰提供支持。”

Ukraine's Dmytro Kuleba adds NATO diplomats have given him a number of new commitments on arming his nation but declined to say whether that included promises of badly wanted Patriot surface-to-air missile batteries.

乌克兰外长德米特罗·库列巴补充说，北约各国的外长向乌克兰做出了提供武器的新承诺，但拒绝透露这些武器是否包括乌克兰迫切需要的爱国者地对空导弹系统。

52岁的杰弗里斯、59岁的凯瑟琳·克拉克和43岁的皮特·阿吉拉尔将组成新的领导团队，民主党人在中期选举失利后表现出罕见的团结。
