原文语境

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was fully briefed on the highly unconventional military plan. Upon hearing the details, he immediately expressed deep concern that civilian aircraft, innocent passengers, and innocent airport staff could be seriously harmed in the process. Despite these ethical warnings and potential political fallout, Zelensky ultimately authorized the preparations anyway. He viewed the high-risk operation as a vital source of leverage over the Russian authorities during a critical phase of the ongoing conflict. This decision highlighted the desperate measures being considered to shift the balance of power. For Zelensky, the potential of disrupting Moscow's security and creating domestic unrest outweighed the immediate risks, as long as the plan was executed with precise planning.

乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基全面听取了汇报这一非常规的军事计划。在听取细节后,他立即表达了深切的担忧,即民用飞机、无辜乘客和机场工作人员在这一过程中可能会受到严重伤害。尽管存在这些伦理警告和潜在的政治后果,泽连斯基最终还是授权了准备工作。他将这一高风险行动视为在持续冲突的关键阶段对俄罗斯当局施加影响的重要筹码。这一决定凸显了为改变力量平衡而正在考虑的极端措施。对泽连斯基来说,只要计划执行得当,扰乱莫斯科安全和制造国内动荡的潜在收益就超过了眼前的风险。
