由崔淑香报道韩国敦促乌克兰停止做出所谓“不实且不恰当”的指控，即指责韩国通过帮助缓解俄罗斯的燃料短缺来破坏针对莫斯科的制裁。
By Soo-Hyang Choi South Korea urged Ukraine to stop making what it called “incorrect and inappropriate” allegations that South Korea was undermining sanctions against Moscow by helping alleviate Russia’s fuel shortages.
韩国总统府发言人康允正周三在一份声明中表示：“我们敦促乌克兰方面在事实核实之前，不要做出扭曲韩国相关政策或破坏国际信任的公开声明。”
“We urge the Ukrainian side to refrain from making public statements that distort South Korea’s relevant policies or undermine international trust without sufficient verification of the facts,” Kang Yu-jung, a spokesperson for President Lee Jae Myung, said in a statement Wednesday.
本周早些时候，《卫报》援引港口记录和船舶追踪数据报道称，今年7月和8月间，有超过176,000吨的燃料装上船从韩国港口运往俄罗斯。该报还称，其中一些船只受英国和欧盟制裁。
The Guardian reported earlier this week that more than 176,000 tons of fuel were loaded onto tankers at South Korean ports for shipment to Russia in July and August, citing port records and ship-tracking data. Some of the vessels are subject to UK and EU sanctions, the newspaper said.
乌克兰总统办公室的制裁政策专员弗拉基斯拉夫·弗拉西乌克在脸书上发文称，韩国帮助抵消了乌克兰对俄罗斯炼油厂的打击所造成的影响。康允正对此予以驳斥。
Vladyslav Vlasiuk, the Ukrainian president’s commissioner for sanctions policy, weighed in, saying in a Facebook post that South Korea helped offset the impact of Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries.
康允正表示：“乌克兰总统办公室的一名官员援引《卫报》报道公开声称韩国帮助缓解俄罗斯的燃料短缺及其炼制能力的损失，这种说法既不符合事实，也不恰当。”她还表示：“这些指控基于个别交易，而交易双方、原产国和最终使用者等关键事实尚未核实。”
Kang disputed that claim.
尽管北韩派兵援助普京在乌克兰的战争，但韩国长期以来一直抵制西方伙伴的呼吁，即不直接向乌克兰转让武器或弹药动用其庞大的军备储备，而是选择通过其他形式援助基辅。
“It is factually incorrect and inappropriate for an official from the Ukrainian presidential office to publicly state, citing the Guardian report, that South Korea helped alleviate Russia’s fuel shortages and the impact of its lost refining capacity,” Kang said. “Such claims are based on individual transactions for which key facts — such as the trading parties, country of origin, and end-users—have not been verified.”While North Korea has sent troops to aid Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine, Seoul has long resisted calls from Western partners to tap into its vast military stockpiles with direct transfers of weapons or ammunition to Ukraine, choosing instead to help Kyiv with other aid.
这场来来回回的争论发生在韩乌关系紧张之际，此前韩国要求乌克兰就 allegedly违反将北韩战俘转交韩国的协议保密一事公开道歉。
The back-and-forth comes amid ongoing tensions between South Korea and Ukraine after Seoul demanded a public apology from Kyiv for allegedly violating an agreement to keep confidential the transfer of North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea.
尽管成品油不受韩国对俄罗斯出口管制措施的约束，但康表示，首尔正在审查相关法规的合规情况，若确认存在违规行为，将采取必要行动。
While refined oil is not subject to South Korea’s export controls on Russia, Kang said Seoul is reviewing compliance with relevant regulations and will take necessary action if any violations are confirmed.
最新争端爆发于乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基上月在联合国大会发表讲话，称乌克兰近期已将两名被乌军俘虏的朝鲜士兵移交至韩国。首尔方面表示，基辅在未进行充分协商的情况下披露了此次移交，违反了双方的保密协议。
The latest dispute erupted after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an address to the United Nations General Assembly last month that Ukraine had recently sent two North Korean soldiers captured by Ukrainian forces to South Korea. Seoul said Kyiv disclosed the transfer in breach of their confidentiality agreement without adequate consultation.
韩国国务总理兼外交部长官赵显周二表示，乌方已传达包含道歉内容的信息，但首尔认为该道歉不够充分，正在审查进一步措施，包括召回驻基辅大使。
South Korea’s Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said Tuesday that the Ukrainian side had delivered a message that included an apology but that Seoul did not consider it sufficient and was reviewing further steps, including recalling its ambassador to Kyiv.
