基辅——乌克兰总统泽连斯基于10月4日表示，美国希望斡旋新一轮乌俄会谈，以结束这场持续半年的战争，并计划在10月底前举行。
KYIV – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Oct 4 that the United States wants to broker a new round of talks with Ukraine and Russia on ending the ½ year war and hold it by the end of October.
美国主导的和平努力在很大程度上已陷入停滞，因为华盛顿的注意力转向了与伊朗的冲突，而乌克兰表示俄罗斯已加大了对这个饱受战火蹂躏国家的空袭力度。
The US-led peace efforts have been largely stalled with Washington’s attention shifted to its war with Iran and as Ukraine says Russia has ramped up its aerial attacks across the war-torn country.
泽连斯基于10月4日对记者说：“美方目前正与乌克兰和俄罗斯保持联系，并提议以三方形式在技术层面于10月底前以某种方式举行会晤。”他说他于10月3日与美国谈判代表进行了交谈。他补充道：“我向他们确认，乌方已准备好支持这一时间表。”
“The American side is currently in contact with Ukraine and Russia and is proposing to somehow hold a meeting at the technical level in a trilateral format by the end of October,” Zelensky told reporters on Oct 4. He said he had spoken with the American negotiators on Oct 3. “I confirmed to them that our side is ready to support this timeline,” he added.
泽连斯基未透露会谈地点，但表示乌克兰“接受阿联酋或美方提出的其他国家”作为举办地。阿联酋过去曾主办过美国斡旋的旨在结束俄罗斯入侵的会谈。
Zelensky did not say where the talks would take place but said Ukraine was “open to the Emirates or another country proposed by the American side”. The United Arab Emirates had in the past hosted talks mediated by the United States aimed at ending the Russian invasion.
克里姆林宫在9月表示，关于结束战争的三方会谈可能在10月举行。
The Kremlin said in September that three-way talks on ending the war could take place in October.
据俄罗斯卫星通讯社和塔斯社当时援引克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫的话报道：“我们不排除这种可能性；我们谈论的是可预见的未来。”
“We do not rule out such a possibility; we are talking about the foreseeable future,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted at the time as saying by Russia’s Ria and Tass news agencies.
此前几轮会谈未能在和平方面取得实质性进展，因为莫斯科不愿放弃其结束战斗的极限条件。
Previous rounds of talks have failed to yield tangible progress towards peace, with Moscow unwilling to drop its maximalist conditions to end the fighting.
