基辅,9月28日电——一位高级军事指挥官周一表示,乌克兰军队在顿涅茨克地区北部从俄罗斯军队手中收复了更多领土,此次行动旨在使莫斯科对乌克兰关键东部据点的攻势复杂化。
KYIV, Sept 28 - Ukraine's military has recaptured more territory from Russian forces in the north of the Donetsk region, a senior military commander said on Monday, in an operation aimed at complicating Moscow's assault on Ukraine's key eastern strongholds.
乌克兰第三军团收复了51平方公里(20平方英里)的领土,自上个月以来指挥该地区行动的安德烈·比列茨基少将表示。
Ukraine's Third Army Corps recaptured an area of 51 square kilometres (20 square miles), said Brigadier-General Andrii Biletskyi, who has commanded operations in the area since last month.
比列茨基表示,代号为‘维瓦尔第’的行动总共在顿涅茨克北部收复了176平方公里,解放了三个村庄,并恢复了对另外两个村庄的乌克兰控制。
In total, the operation called "Vivaldi" has recaptured 176 sq km in the north of Donetsk, has freed three more villages and has restored Ukrainian control over two more villages, Biletskyi said.
总部位于华盛顿的智库战争研究所(ISW)表示,该行动实现了‘作战层面上具有重要意义’的目标,即破坏莫斯科对乌克兰城市‘堡垒带’进行大规模包围的努力。
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a Washington-based think tank, has said the operation has achieved the "operationally-significant" goal of disrupting Moscow's effort to conduct a wide encirclement of the "fortress belt" of Ukrainian cities.
俄罗斯整体前线推进今年有所放缓,但其部队一直在从南方向这些城市施压,并更深入地渗透进东部城市康斯坦丁诺夫卡。顿涅茨克地区经历了战争中最激烈的大部分战斗。
Russia's overall frontline advances have slowed this year but its forces have been bearing down on the cities from the south and infiltrating deeper into the eastern city of Kostiantynivka. The Donetsk region has seen most of the fiercest battles of the war.
乌克兰仍控制着顿涅茨克约20%的领土,而俄罗斯想要控制全部——这是莫斯科在迄今为止停滞的谈判中的主要领土要求,但美国希望重启谈判。
Ukraine still holds about 20% of Donetsk while Russia wants to control all of it — Moscow's main territorial demand at negotiations that have so far stalled but which the US wants to restart.
顿涅茨克地区报告的收获将增加乌克兰今年早些时候在东南部的推进,基辅称在长达数月的反攻中收复了700多平方公里的领土。
The reported gains in the Donetsk region would add to Ukraine's push earlier this year in the southeast, where Kyiv said it clawed back more than 700 sq km of territory during a months-long counterattack.
