摘要 本文探讨了自 2014 年东部冲突开始以来乌克兰发生的军事变化,并认为这一过程中正在形成的乌克兰军队与之前政府设想的军队有很大不同。 2014年以来乌克兰冲突的现实迫使乌克兰必须放弃2006年至2014年采用的军事改革转型模式。相反,乌克兰武装部队(UAF)被迫根据复兴旧特征和接受新解决方案的复杂结合来调整其结构、手段和方法。这一过程特别包括采用大规模众筹和招募志愿者队伍。这些变化为可能继续是一个痛苦的、影响深远的军事改革进程奠定了基础。
ABSTRACT This article examines the military change that has taken place in Ukraine since the conflict in the east began in 2014 and argues that the Ukrainian military that is emerging from this process is very different from that envisaged by earlier governments. The realities of the conflict on Ukraine from 2014 onwards have necessitated a move away from the transformational model of military reform adopted from 2006 to 2014. Instead, the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) have been forced to adapt their structure, means, and methods according to a complex blend of the resuscitation of older features and the embrace of new solutions. This process notably has included the adoption of mass, crowdfunding, and the raising of volunteer battalions. These changes provide the foundation for what is likely to continue to be a painful process of far-reaching military reform.
