英国财政大臣约翰·希利呼吁其他国家收紧对俄罗斯相关航运的制裁，他在周四于曼谷出席国际货币基金组织年会、准备与外国同行会晤之际作出上述表态。
British finance minister John Healey called on other nations to tighten sanctions on Russia-linked shipping, as he prepared to meet his foreign counterparts at the International Monetary Fund's annual meetings in Bangkok on Thursday.
他说：“我今天向各国财长传达的信息……关于乌克兰问题，是要坚持对俄罗斯实施严厉经济制裁的路径，特别是对航运服务实施更严格的禁令……这些服务帮助（俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·）普京的‘突破制裁影子舰队’运作。”
"My message to finance ministers here today ... on Ukraine, is to stay the path on tough economic sanctions on Russia, especially a tighter ban on shipping services ... that help (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's sanctions-busting shadow fleet to operate," he said.
英国已对航运及相关服务实施了一系列制裁，认为俄罗斯利用这些渠道为其对乌克兰的战争提供资金和装备。
Britain has imposed a series of sanctions on shipping and related services that it believes Russia uses to fund and equip its war on Ukraine.
然而，一名美国官员周三表示，特朗普政府正考虑放宽对所谓‘影子舰队’船只的制裁，这些船只曾从包括俄罗斯、伊朗和委内瑞拉在内的国家运输石油和石油产品，旨在降低创纪录的全球运费。
However, a US official on Wednesday said the Trump administration is considering easing sanctions on so-called shadow fleet vessels that have transported oil and petroleum products from countries including Russia, Iran and Venezuela, in an effort to reduce record-high global freight rates.
此前，特朗普总统暂时解除了对俄罗斯柴油燃料的制裁，此举招致乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基、欧洲国家以及特朗普的一些共和党同僚在美国参议院的强烈批评。
That comes after President Donald Trump temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian diesel fuel, a move met with a torrent of criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, European countries and some of Trump's fellow Republicans in the US Senate.
希利还表示，英国将提供1700万英镑（2300万美元）资金，用于修复去年遭俄罗斯无人机袭击受损的乌克兰切尔诺贝利核电站，美国和法国也将提供支持。
Healey also said Britain would provide £17 million ($23 million) in funding towards repairs for Ukraine's Chornobyl nuclear power plant that had been damaged by a Russian drone strike last year, alongside support from the US and France.
在其他发言中，希利欢迎国际货币基金组织对英国未来几年削减借贷计划的赞扬，并确认将在10月28日的首份年度预算声明中坚持这一路径。
In other remarks, Healey welcomed the IMF's praise for Britain's plan to reduce borrowing over the coming years and confirmed he would stick to this in his first annual budget statement on October 28.
“他们……表示坚持这条路径很重要。而在两周后准备预算之际，我将遵循这一点。”
"They ... say it's important to stay the path. And I will follow that as I prepare my budget in two weeks' time."
