乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基周日反驳了批评者的说法，即他应该下台，让他的国家举行选举。他表示，这些人“找不到阻止[普京]的钥匙”。ABC的乔纳森·卡尔在《本周》节目中向泽连斯基询问了特朗普的批评。特朗普周五对记者表示，乌克兰应该“选出一位能够达成协议的新领导人”，此前乌克兰总统谴责了美俄柴油协议。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy on Sunday pushed back on critics saying he should step down and allow his country to hold elections, saying they "can't find a key [for] how to stop" Russian President Vladimir Putin. ABC's Jonathan Karl asked Zelensky on "This Week" about Trump's criticism, in which he told reporters on Friday that Ukraine should "get a new leader who can make a deal" after the Ukrainian president denounced the U.S.-Russia diesel deal.
卡尔还提到特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克最近暗示泽连斯基“走得太远了”。泽连斯基回应道：“这些人找不到阻止普京的办法。因为阻止普京比施压他人更困难。因为谈论油价并将其与乌克兰联系起来更简单。”他表示，世界明白油价飙升是因为伊朗战争和霍尔muz海峡的有效封锁。这与特朗普的说法相悖，特朗普称俄乌战争导致油价上涨，而不是与伊朗政权的冲突。
Karl also referred to Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently suggesting Zelensky has "gone too far." "These people can't find a key how to stop Putin," Zelensky replied. "Because it's more difficult to stop Putin than to pressure others. Because it's more simple to speak about the prices and connect it with Ukraine." He said that the world understands that oil prices have soared because of the Iran war and the effective shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz. This goes against Trump's claims that the Russia-Ukraine war has caused oil prices to rise, not the conflict with Iran's regime.
“如果我们想公平地与人交谈，如果我们想说清楚，如果我们想坦诚地与我们的国家沟通，我们就必须停止——我的意思是，人们必须听到现实，”泽连斯基补充道。“不要玩弄人们。”泽连斯基表示，乌克兰人民将决定是否选出新总统，但由于战争，现在举行一次安全的选举将非常困难。“在这个问题上，我知道普京非常希望改变乌克兰的总统，”他继续说道。
"And if we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, we have to stop –– I mean, people have to hear reality," Zelensky added. "Don't play games with people." Zelensky said it will be up to the Ukrainian people to decide on a new president, but that holding a secure election now would be really difficult due to the war. "On this question, I know that Putin wanted very much to change the president in Ukraine," he continued. "I understand it.
“我理解这一点。如果特朗普总统真的希望在选举期间有一些变化，我也已经向他的团队说明了这一点。所以请告诉普京：给我们两个月，60天的休息时间。全面停火60天，我们将组织选举。”
And if President Trump really wants to have some changes in –– during elections, I also shared it with his team. So please tell Putin: Give us two months, 60 days off. Total ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organize elections.
当然，我们将为我们人民的任何选择做好准备，正是乌克兰人民。"卡尔对泽连斯基的采访播出后不久，特朗普宣布乌克兰和俄罗斯已就能源停火达成协议，就在乌克兰试图 destabilize 莫斯科能源网络、而俄罗斯军队正在袭击乌克兰基础设施之际。"双方已达成一致，"他在Truth Social上写道。"不要打破它！"泽连斯基告诉Axios，该协议对他来说是"新闻"。
Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people, exactly Ukrainian people." Shortly after Karl's interview with Zelensky aired, Trump announced that Ukraine and Russia agreed to an energy ceasefire amid Ukraine's effort to destabilize Moscow's energy grid while Russian forces attack Ukrainian infrastructure. "Both parties have agreed," he wrote on Truth Social. "Do not break it!" Zelensky told Axios that the agreement was "news to me."
特朗普此前曾在9月中旬作出类似宣布，尽管双方仍在继续打击。在采访期间，泽连斯基呼吁实现能源停火，虽然这并非"最佳交易"，但公平，而"最佳交易"则是战争的结束。"好的，如果他们想要能源停火，我们对此持开放态度，"他对卡尔说。"不要攻击我们。不要杀死我们的孩子。我们将停止攻击你们的柴油。我认为这是公平的，是一笔公平的交易。"
Trump had previously made a similar announcement in mid-September, though both sides continued their strikes. During the interview, Zelensky called for an energy ceasefire, one that was fair though "not the best deal," with the "best deal" being an end to the war. "OK, if they want energy ceasefire, we are open for this," he told Karl. "Don’t attack us. Don’t kill our children. We will stop attack your diesel. And I think it’s fair, fair deal." Tensions stirred between Trump and Zelensky after the U.S. president announced a new deal permitting Russia to supply 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and the global marketplace.
特朗普宣布一项新协议，允许俄罗斯向美国和全球市场供应30万吨柴油后，特朗普与泽连斯基之间的紧张关系加剧。泽连斯基称此为普京的"生日礼物"，旨在"杀死我们，杀死我们的孩子"。
Zelensky called it a "birthday gift" to Putin to "kill us, kill our children."
