Ukrainians awoke on Monday to a familiar stench(恶臭) of kerosene(煤油), fire and blood. Russia’s latest attack, involving 611 drones and 70 missiles, focused on Kyiv. The capital’s ancient Pechersk Lavra monastery complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site(① 背景：联合国教科文组织（UNESCO...), was hit by what local authorities described as a direct strike. Elsewhere the primary targets appeared to be military-production facilities and power infrastructure, but as usual some missiles landed in bedrooms. Eight residential blocks were hit. In Kyiv at least five people died and three dozen were injured. In Kharkiv, at least five emergency workers were killed in a deliberate “double-tap(双重打击)” strike. The deaths continue a grim(严峻的，令人沮丧的) trend: May was the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians since 2022.
乌克兰人周一醒来，便闻到一股熟悉的煤油、火和血的恶臭。俄罗斯的最新袭击动用了611架无人机和70枚导弹，重点针对基辅。首都古老的佩切尔西克修道院建筑群——联合国教科文组织世界遗产——被当地当局描述为直接命中。在其他地方，主要目标似乎是军事生产设施和电力基础设施，但和往常一样，一些导弹落在了卧室里。八栋住宅楼被击中。在基辅，至少五人死亡，三十六人受伤。在哈尔科夫，至少五名急救人员在一次蓄意的“双重打击”中丧生。这些死亡事件延续了一个严峻的趋势：5月是自2022年以来乌克兰平民死亡人数最多的一个月。
The intensifying(日益加剧的) air war is in part a reflection of Russia’s increasing difficulties on the ground. Since late 2025 Ukraine’s drone-fronted forces(以无人机为先导的部队) have been killing and seriously wounding Russian soldiers faster than the Kremlin can recruit them, slowing their advance to a crawl or, in some cases, even slightly reversing it. The near-stalemate(僵局) is causing the war’s centre of gravity(重心；核心) to shift from the trenches and towards the factories and supply lines behind it. Each side is responding using the tools it has.
日益激烈的空战在某种程度上反映了俄罗斯在地面面临的日益增大的困难。自2025年底以来，乌克兰以无人机为先导的部队杀伤和重伤俄罗斯士兵的速度超过了克里姆林宫的征兵速度，使俄军的推进变得极其缓慢，甚至在某些情况下略有逆转。这种近乎僵持的局面正在使战争的重心从战壕转移到后方的工厂和补给线。双方都在利用各自拥有的工具进行应对。
Ukraine has prioritised an asymmetric(非对称的) mid-range drone campaign, menacing(威胁的，恐吓的) Russian supply routes with new precision weapons, the latest of them semi-automated. Among other things, this has caused a petrol shortage in annexed Crimea. Russia, for its part(就……而言), has simply bombed Ukrainian cities harder and more ruthlessly(无情地，残忍地). Its aims are not only military but psychological: to break locals’ morale, and foreign allies’ confidence that Ukraine can defend itself. In late May Russia’s foreign ministry urged diplomats to leave Kyiv. So far, none have.
乌克兰优先考虑了一场非对称的中程无人机战役，用新型精确武器（最新的是半自动武器）威胁俄罗斯的补给线。除此之外，这还导致被吞并的克里米亚出现汽油短缺。至于俄罗斯，它只是更猛烈、更残暴地轰炸乌克兰城市。其目的不仅是军事上的，还有心理上的：摧毁当地民众的士气，以及外国盟友对乌克兰能够自卫的信心。5月下旬，俄罗斯外交部敦促外交官离开基辅。迄今为止，没有一人离开。
