乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基周五在接受Axios电话采访时称,特朗普总统单方面解除对俄罗斯的制裁并允许其出口柴油的决定“既不公平,也不诚实”。• “你知道,这看起来像是送给普京的生日礼物。这简直糟糕透顶,”泽连斯基在谈到本周早些时候的俄罗斯总统生日时,语气中充满挫败感。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Axios in a phone interview on Friday that President Trump's decision to unilaterally lift sanctions on Russia and allow it to export diesel was "not fair and not honest." • "You know, it looks like a happy birthday present for Putin. It looks absolutely terrible," Zelensky said in frustration, referring to the Russian president's birthday earlier this week. Why it matters:
为何重要:特朗普在与普京通话后宣布这一决定,令乌克兰和许多欧洲政府震惊,并在美国与其西方盟友之间引发了新的危机。
Trump's announcement after a call with Putin shocked Ukraine and many European governments and created a new crisis between the U.S. and its Western allies.
- 在15分钟的采访中,泽连斯基显得极度不满和失望,甚至对柴油协议的消息感到被背叛。
• During the 15-minute interview, Zelensky sounded exasperated and dismayed and even expressed a sense of betrayal by the news of the diesel deal.
- 周五,记者多次就泽连斯基的批评向特朗普提问,但他拒绝置评,并表示自己对与普京达成的协议感到高兴。
• Trump was asked several times by reporters on Friday about Zelensky's criticism but declined to comment and said he was happy about the deal with Putin.
新闻背景:特朗普在与普京达成协议的同时,其特使史蒂夫·维特科夫和贾里德·库什纳正在迈阿密与乌克兰谈判团队以及来自德国、法国、英国、欧盟和北约的高级外交官会面,讨论美国结束战争的新方案。
Driving the news: Trump announced the deal with Putin as his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were meeting in Miami with the Ukrainian negotiating team along with senior diplomats from Germany, France, the UK, the EU and NATO to discuss new U.S. ideas for ending the war.
- 泽连斯基表示,几天前他曾与维特科夫通话,强调在冬季和中期选举前继续努力实现外交突破的必要性。
• Zelensky said he spoke several days ago with Witkoff about the need to continue efforts to reach a diplomatic breakthrough before winter and the midterm elections. • "Steve proposed to meet in Florida.
- “史蒂夫提议在佛罗里达会面。当然,我同意前往那里,讨论谈判的可能性。美方表示他们有一些想法,我们同意前往讨论,”泽连斯基说。
And of course I accepted to go there and speak about the possibilities of negotiations. The Americans said they have some ideas and we agreed to come to discuss," Zelensky said.
- 泽连斯基强调,在与维特科夫和库什纳的会谈中,美国从未暗示与俄罗斯的柴油协议是讨论议题之一。
• At no point during his talks with Witkoff and Kushner did the U.S. suggest that a diesel deal with Russia was on the table, Zelensky stressed.
- 他表示,他从维特科夫那里了解到,美国特使计划将佛罗里达会谈的信息传达给俄罗斯方面,然后可能前往基辅,尝试敲定和平协议。
• He said he understood from Witkoff that the U.S. envoys planned to take messages from the Florida talks to the Russians and then potentially travel to Kyiv to try to seal a peace deal.
幕后情况:泽连斯基表示,在特朗普发表声明前一个小时,正在佛罗里达与库什纳和维特科夫会面的他的谈判代表告知他,特朗普计划与普京通话。他们表示,美国可能对俄罗斯实施制裁的声明即将发布,但并未详细说明。
Behind the scenes: Zelensky said that an hour before Trump's statement, his negotiators, who were meeting with Kushner and Witkoff in Florida, informed him that Trump planned to speak with Putin. They said an announcement regarding U.S. sanctions on Russia might be forthcoming, without elaborating.
- “这其实并不诚实,因为我们一直试图以最好的方式建立关系,”他说。“看起来他们一方面利用这个机会与我们会面,另一方面又打电话给普京进行谈判。”
• "It's not honest, really, because we tried to build our relations in the best way," he said. "It looks like that they used this opportunity to meet us from one side, and from the other side called Putin and negotiate this."
他的言论要点:乌克兰总统表示,如果能在冬季期间达成一项协议,停止对乌克兰和俄罗斯能源设施的袭击,他本会支持放宽对俄罗斯能源的制裁。
What he's saying: The Ukrainian president said he would have supported easing sanctions on Russian energy if it was done in the context of a deal to halt attacks on energy facilities in Ukraine and Russia during the winter.
- “如果代价是能源停火,那么这次谈判就是好的,”泽连斯基说。但他认为,如果普京同意,特朗普本应该会宣布这样的突破。
• "If the price is energy ceasefire, this negotiation is good," Zelensky said.
- “[特朗普]得到了什么?更多柴油?给谁?给美国人的更多俄罗斯柴油?这暴露了世界的软弱,”泽连斯基说。
But he argued that Trump presumably would have announced such a breakthrough if Putin had agreed to it. • "What did [Trump] get? That he will have more diesel?
- 泽连斯基将目前的协议与去年特朗普和普京在安克雷奇举行的峰会相提并论。那次峰会以美国总统同意俄罗斯在乌克兰战争问题上的多项要求而告终,却未获得任何回报。
For whom? More Russian diesel for Americans? It shows weakness of the world," Zelensky said. • Zelensky compared the current deal to the Anchorage summit between Trump and Putin last year, which ended with the U.S. president agreeing to many of the Russian demands regarding the war in Ukraine without getting anything in return.
- “这看起来就像第二个阿拉斯加,”他说。
• "It looks like Alaska number two," he said. Between the lines:
言外之意:尽管愤怒,泽连斯基并未直言这一事件意味着华盛顿再也无法在基辅和莫斯科之间进行调解。
Despite his anger, Zelensky stopped short of saying the episode meant Washington could no longer mediate between Kyiv and Moscow.
- “这并不简单。我们需要美国人,”他说。“我们需要美国人努力结束这场战争。”
• "It's not simple. We need the Americans," he said. "We need the Americans to try to stop this war."
- 但他质疑,在没有明显让步的情况下奖励莫斯科,是否会使未来的外交更加困难。
• But he questioned whether rewarding Moscow without an apparent Russian concession would make further diplomacy more difficult.
- “这一决定对我们没有任何帮助,”泽连斯基说。“但更糟糕的是,我认为这一决定对美国人也没有帮助。”
• "This decision will not help us in any way," Zelensky said. "But what is bad, I think that this decision will not help Americans."
接下来会发生什么:泽连斯基表示,他计划与谈判团队沟通,全面了解他们与维特科夫和库什纳的会谈情况。
What's next: Zelensky said he plans to speak with his negotiating team to get a full readout of its talks with Witkoff and Kushner.
- 泽连斯基还表示,他想要弄清楚这项柴油协议是否与特朗普特使们计划前往俄罗斯的行程有关。
• Zelensky said he also wanted to understand whether the diesel agreement was connected to a trip Trump's envoys planned to take to Russia.
- “如果你允许他们出口柴油,而在此之前你却认为必须前往俄罗斯进行谈判,这看起来就像是你为了促成这次会面而做出的让步,”泽连斯基说道,同时强调他并不清楚这是否确实是特朗普的本意。
• "If you allow them to export diesel, and you think before that you have to go to Russia to negotiate, it looks that you are buying this meeting," Zelensky said, while stressing that he did not know whether that was actually Trump's intention.
- “也许我的想法并不正确,”泽连斯基说,“但事情看起来就是这样。否则,又何必这么做呢?”
• "Maybe I'm not right," Zelensky said. "But it looks this way. Otherwise, why do it?"
