纽约/华盛顿/基辅，10月12日 - 总统唐纳德·特朗普的特使们周五告诉乌克兰官员，允许俄罗斯柴油出口的协议是旨在让俄罗斯重返谈判桌的一部分，此前多次尝试启动持续谈判以结束战争均告失败。三位知情人士向路透社透露了这一消息。
NEW YORK/WASHINGTON/KYIV, Oct 12 - President Donald Trump's envoys told Ukrainian officials on Friday that a deal to allow Russian diesel exports is part of a bid to draw Russia back to negotiations after the failure of previous efforts to launch sustained talks to end the war, three people familiar with the meeting told Reuters.
特朗普的中东特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和女婿贾里德·库什纳在迈阿密的一次会议上告诉乌克兰官员，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京尚未准备好谈判结束其在乌克兰持续4年半的战争，而上周宣布的协议可能有助于重启三方谈判。上述两位知情人士透露了这一信息，他们要求匿名。
Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner told the Ukrainians in a meeting in Miami that Russian President Vladimir Putin was not prepared to negotiate an end to his 4 1/2-year-old war in Ukraine and that the deal announced last week could help restart trilateral talks, said two of the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
第三位知情人士表示，美国向乌克兰官员转达了这一信息：该柴油协议可能有助于“缓和”莫斯科的立场，部分原因在于它“传递出特朗普愿意与俄罗斯合作的信号”。
The third person said the US relayed to the Ukrainians that the diesel deal could help "soften" Moscow's position in part because it "sends a signal that Trump is open to do things" with Russia.
该协议规定，俄罗斯将向美国和全球市场供应超过225万桶柴油，引发了一些美国议员的反对，他们认为这将为莫斯科提供资金以继续战争，而无需迫使普京作出结束冲突的让步。周一，特朗普公开为该协议辩护，称其是“美国人民的正确选择”。特朗普表示，该协议将降低美国能源价格，而能源价格已成为其共和党在关键中期选举前的政治头痛问题，这些选举将决定国会的控制权。
That deal, under which Russia will supply more than 2.25 million barrels of diesel to US and global markets, has triggered a backlash from some US lawmakers, who say it will give Moscow cash to pursue its war without forcing Putin to make concessions to end the conflict. On Monday, Trump publicly defended the deal, calling it "the right choice for the American people." Trump says the agreement will lower US energy prices, which have become a political headache for his Republican Party ahead of pivotal midterm elections that will determine control of Congress.
库什纳在会议上表示，特朗普还希望乌克兰停止袭击俄罗斯的炼油厂，并重申政府此前多次提出过这一要求。两位知情人士透露了这一信息。特朗普曾表示，乌克兰的袭击正在推高全球燃油价格，但大多数专家认为，伊朗战争才是高油价的主要驱动因素。
Trump also wanted the Ukrainians to stop striking Russian refineries, Kushner said in the meeting, reiterating that the administration had made that request several times, the two people said. Trump has said Ukraine’s attacks are increasing global fuel prices, but most experts say the war in Iran is the main driver of the high costs.
“其想法是，美国可以回到俄罗斯那里说：‘看，乌克兰人停止了袭击，我们给了你们这个协议。现在轮到你们做点什么了，’”其中一位知情人士如此说道。
“The idea was that the US could go back to Russia and say ‘See, the Ukrainians stopped striking and we gave you this deal. Now it’s your turn to do something,’” one of the people said.
特朗普于周日宣布俄罗斯与乌克兰之间的能源停火，距他公布柴油交易仅数天。交战双方尚未确认停火，俄罗斯却在周一袭击了乌克兰境内的能源目标。
Trump on Sunday announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine days after unveiling the diesel deal. The warring sides have not confirmed the ceasefire, though, and Russia struck energy targets inside Ukraine on Monday.
美国华盛顿的俄罗斯大使馆和基辅的总统办公室未立即回应置评请求。一位接近克里姆林宫的人士称，柴油交易“是让俄罗斯重新回到谈判中的一种方式”。
The Russian embassy in Washington and the presidential office in Kyiv did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A person close to the Kremlin said the diesel deal "is a way to bring Russia back" to the negotiations.
一位熟悉会谈的人士表示，柴油协议只是关于如何让乌克兰和俄罗斯重新回到谈判桌、结束战争的更大对话的一部分。该人士称，会谈还涉及对乌克兰的安全保障，但未作进一步说明。对莫斯科谈判意愿的质疑特朗普一再表示普京希望达成结束战争的协议——他在周六再次重复了这一说法。乌克兰和欧洲官员对俄罗斯领导人是否愿意尽快结束军事行动表示怀疑。
One of the people familiar with the meeting said the diesel agreement is just one part of a larger conversation about how to bring Ukraine and Russia back to the negotiating table and end the war. The meeting also touched on security guarantees for Ukraine, the person said, without elaborating. DOUBTS ABOUT MOSCOW'S WILLINGNESS TO NEGOTIATE Trump has repeatedly said Putin wants to reach a settlement to end the war - a claim he repeated on Saturday. Ukrainian and European officials have expressed doubts that the Russian leader is willing to end the military campaign soon.
一些专家指出，柴油协议对美国降低油价的作用有限。向市场提供的额外柴油量仅相当于美国运输部门一天的供应量。
Some experts have said the diesel agreement will do little to lower prices in the US. The additional amount provided to the market will be less than a day's supply for the US transport sector alone.
两位获简报的消息人士以及会中一名人士称，参加会谈的乌克兰官员对美国的做法持怀疑态度，认为美国是通过商业交易来安抚俄罗斯。
The Ukrainian officials attending the meeting were skeptical of the US approach, which they see as using business deals to appease Russia, the two people briefed and one person in the meeting said.
特朗普政府此前曾尝试诱导普京，包括提出制裁宽松方案以及潜在的矿产交易。但这些举措都未实质性改变俄罗斯的核心诉求，也未说服其接受全面停火协议。
The Trump administration has previously tried to entice Putin, including through sanctions relief proposals as well as potential mineral deals. Neither has substantially changed Russia’s core demands or persuaded it to accept a comprehensive ceasefire agreement.
克里姆林宫的一位知情人士表示，普京只有在“拿到顿巴斯剩余的11%领土，并能在国内将其呈现为胜利”时才会重返谈判桌。乌克兰方面表示，不会再向俄罗斯交出任何领土，但冻结在现有战线上的冲突可能成为和平协议的基础。
The person close to the Kremlin said Putin will only return to the table when "he gets the remaining 11% of Donbas, which he can present domestically as victory." Ukraine has said it will not hand any more territory to Russia, but that freezing the conflict on the existing battle lines could be the basis for a peace deal.
美国对基辅的支持不会受到威胁 在迈阿密会晤中，库什纳和威特科夫向乌克兰官员强调了“美国对乌克兰所做的一切”，其中一人透露，这包括向乌克兰军队提供军事和情报支持。
NO THREAT TO WITHHOLD US SUPPORT FOR KYIV In the Miami meeting, Kushner and Witkoff stressed to the Ukrainian officials “all that the US has done for Ukraine,” one of the people said, including providing military and intelligence support to its forces.
两位知情人士和会议中的一位人士表示，美国并未威胁说如果乌克兰不同意停止袭击俄罗斯炼油厂，就会切断对其的支持。
The Americans did not threaten to cut off that support if Ukraine did not agree to stop striking Russian refineries, the two people briefed and the person in the meeting said.
此次迈阿密会晤还包括欧洲官员以及世界银行代表的线上参与，是在威特科夫和库什纳于9月访问莫斯科和基辅之后举行的。威特科夫当时表示，双方已经制造了“新动力”，新一轮谈判可能很快就将开始。世界银行方面拒绝置评。
The meeting in Miami, which also included European officials and virtual appearances by representatives from the World Bank, came after Witkoff and Kushner visited Moscow and Kyiv in September. Witkoff said then that the sides had created “new momentum” and that a new round of talks could soon begin. The World Bank declined to comment.
自美俄柴油交易宣布以来，美乌关系紧张程度急剧上升。泽连斯基称这是美国的“软弱决定”，并称其为“对普京的礼物”。特朗普周六表示，泽连斯基“本来可以多次结束这场战争”，乌克兰人需要“选出一位新总统”。知情人士透露，此次迈阿密会晤持续数小时，部分议程聚焦于乌克兰的重建基金以及基辅需要正式制定该国投资计划的必要性。
Tensions between the US and Ukraine have spiked since the announcement of the US-Russia diesel deal. Zelenskiy called it a "weak decision" by the US and a “gift to Putin.”Trump said on Saturday that Zelenskiy “could have settled this war many times” and Ukrainians needed to “get a new president.”Part of the meeting in Miami, which spanned several hours, focused on reconstruction funds for Ukraine and a need for Kyiv to formalize plans for investment in the country, the people briefed on the meeting said.
乌克兰代表离开会议时未正式同意任何事项，但表示，只要俄罗斯也同意，他们愿意同意实施能源停火。
The Ukrainians left the meeting without agreeing to anything formally, but signaled that they would be willing to agree to an energy ceasefire so long as Russia did.
