塔林：在塔林指控俄罗斯于8月对一家无人机制造商实施“蓄意破坏”的纵火袭击后，欧盟和北约领导人周二（9月29日）齐声声援爱沙尼亚和乌克兰。克里姆林宫立即否认了这一说法。
TALLINN: EU and NATO leaders on Tuesday (Sep 29) rallied in support of Estonia and Ukraine after Tallinn accused Russia of "sabotage" in an August arson attack on a drone manufacturer, a claim the Kremlin immediately rejected.
“俄罗斯仍在对北约成员国肆意采取敌对行动。俄方正试图削弱我们的决心，阻止我们支持乌克兰，”北约秘书长马克·吕特说。
"Russia continues its reckless campaign of hostile actions against NATO allies. It is trying to weaken our resolve and stop our support for Ukraine," NATO chief Mark Rutte said.
他补充说：“但俄罗斯正在失败。它在乌克兰战场上遭遇失败，也未能破坏我们的团结以及我们对乌克兰的支持。”爱沙尼亚外长马古斯·察赫克纳表示，针对防务企业米尔雷姆机器人公司8月15日遭遇纵火袭击的调查已经确定，莫斯科应对此事负责。
He added: "But Russia is failing. It is failing on the battlefield in Ukraine and it is failing to undermine our unity and support for Ukraine." Estonia's foreign minister, Margus Tsahkna, said an investigation into the Aug 15 arson attack against the defence company Milrem Robotics, which makes ground drones used in Ukraine, determined that Moscow was responsible.
“我们可以确切地断定，这起纵火袭击……是俄罗斯联邦特别机构下令实施的一起破坏行动，”他说。行凶者已被逮捕，俄罗斯大使也已被召见。
"We can conclude with certainty that the arson attack... was an act of sabotage ordered by the special services of the Russian Federation," he said on He said the perpetrators had been arrested, and Russia's ambassador had been summoned.
察赫克纳说，“这次破坏行动是俄罗斯在欧洲更大范围行动的一部分，其目的是恐吓我们，并削弱我们对乌克兰的支持”。
Tsahkna said that "this act of sabotage is part of Russia's broader campaign across Europe, aimed at intimidating us and weakening our support for Ukraine".
克里姆林宫否认 克里姆林宫迅速驳斥爱沙尼亚的指控，称其“毫无根据”，与“现实绝对没有任何关系”。
KREMLIN DENIAL The Kremlin swiftly dismissed Estonia's accusation as "baseless" and with "absolutely no relation to reality".
“我们不能也不会认真对待此类言论，”克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫在莫斯科回答法新社记者提问时表示。
"We cannot and will not take such statements seriously," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow in response to an AFP question.
自莫斯科于2022年全面入侵乌克兰以来，爱沙尼亚多次指责俄罗斯进行混合战挑衅。
Estonia has repeatedly accused Russia of hybrid provocations since the beginning of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
爱沙尼亚与波罗的海邻国拉脱维亚和立陶宛一道加大了国防投入，并始终是基辅的坚定盟友。
Along with its neighbours, Latvia and Lithuania, the country has ramped up defence investment and remains a staunch ally of Kyiv.
欧盟表示支持爱沙尼亚，称这次纵火袭击“鲁莽”，但不会因此停止支持乌克兰。
The European Union said it stood with Estonia calling the arson attack "reckless", and would not be put off supporting Ukraine.
“莫斯科试图恐吓欧洲，让欧洲缩减对乌克兰的支持。这不会发生，”欧盟委员会发言人克里斯蒂安·维甘德说。
"Moscow is trying to scare Europe into winding down its support for Ukraine. This will not happen," European Commission spokesman Christian Wigand said.
法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙也将这起纵火袭击称为俄罗斯的一次“危险升级”，并称这是“此类敌对行为不断增加”中的又一例证。
French President Emmanuel Macron also called the arson attack a "dangerous escalation" by Russia, and another in a "multiplication of these hostile acts".
“俄罗斯需要明白，它无法战胜我们的团结，也无法动摇我们继续支持乌克兰的决心，”马克龙说道。立陶宛外交部长凯斯图蒂斯·布德里斯在X平台上写道，爱沙尼亚的袭击事件“处处都有俄罗斯的影子”，并补充说莫斯科的“敌对活动并不会止步于乌克兰边境”。
"Russia needs to know that it will not overcome our unity or our determination to continue supporting Ukraine," Macron said on "Russia's fingerprints are all over" the Estonia attack, Lithuanian foreign minister Kestutis Budrys wrote on X, adding that Moscow's "hostile activities do not stop at Ukraine's borders".
拉脱维亚总统埃德加斯·林克维奇斯补充说，“需要并必须提供更多对乌克兰的支持”。
Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics added that "more support for Ukraine ... will be needed and must be provided".
瑞典首相乌尔夫·克里斯特松称，将此次袭击归咎于俄罗斯的行为“极其严重”，且是“针对整个欧洲的”。
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson called the attribution of the attack "extremely serious" and "directed against Europe as a whole".
