一名官员称,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的特使史蒂夫·维特科夫于周三抵达圣彼得堡,并将与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京会晤。
US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in St. Petersburg on Wednesday and will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, an official said.
俄罗斯直接投资基金首席执行官基里尔·德米特里耶夫在普尔科沃机场迎接了维特科夫,他们的车队随后不久离开机场。
Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) CEO Kirill Dmitriev greeted Witkoff at Pulkovo Airport, and their motorcade soon left the airport.
克里姆林宫外交政策助理尤里·乌沙科夫在评论维特科夫的访问时表示,普京将在圣彼得堡的康斯坦丁宫会见这位美国特使。
Commenting on Witkoff's visit, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said Putin will meet the US envoy at the Konstantinovsky Palace in St. Petersburg. "Yes, Putin will receive Witkoff.
乌沙科夫在莫斯科对记者表示:“是的,普京将接见维特科夫。在康斯坦丁宫。会晤计划在今天上午进行。”
At the Konstantinovsky Palace. The meeting is scheduled for the first half of today," Ushakov told reporters in Moscow.
他补充说,关于乌克兰冲突的会谈将是此次会晤的重点。“关于乌克兰冲突的谈判自然会是今天接触的主要部分。”这位官员将这次会晤描述为几天前商定的一项“计划中的活动”。
Talks on the Ukraine conflict will be the main focus of the meeting, he added. "Negotiations on the Ukraine conflict will naturally be the main part of today's contact." The official described the meeting as "a planned event" agreed upon several days in advance.
他说:“我会称这是一项计划中的活动。这是几天前商定的。对于我们或那些筹备此次会晤的人来说,这没有任何秘密。”
"I would call it a planned event. It was agreed upon several days ago. There was no secret about it for us or for those who prepared the meeting," he said.
在评论特朗普关于乌克兰冲突可以在没有总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基出席的情况下得到解决的言论时,乌沙科夫表示,莫斯科没有与这位乌克兰领导人举行过会谈。
Commenting on Trump's remarks that the Ukraine conflict could be settled without President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's presence, Ushakov said Moscow has not held talks with the Ukrainian leader.
当被问及莫斯科是否赞同特朗普的立场时,乌沙科夫说:“我们与泽连斯基没有任何接触。过去我们达成的一切协议,自始至终都没有他参与。”乌沙科夫表示,总统助理德米特里耶夫也将出席此次会晤。
"We have had no contacts with Zelenskyy. Everything we agreed upon in the past was always done without him," Ushakov said when asked whether Moscow shared Trump's position. Presidential aide Dmitriev will also attend the meeting, Ushakov said.
乌沙科夫补充说,特使贾里德·库什纳因身体不适将不会前往圣彼得堡。
Special envoy Jared Kushner will not travel to St. Petersburg because he is unwell, Ushakov added.
他说:“据我们得到的通知,库什纳已经生病,因此没有成行。据我所知,他也缺席了维特科夫与几位欧洲代表及泽连斯基会面的挪威之行。”
"Kushner, as we were informed, has fallen ill and refrained from making the trip. As far as I know, he was also absent in Norway, where Witkoff met with several European representatives and Zelenskyy," he said.
然而,据俄罗斯官方通讯社塔斯社的一名消息人士透露,库什纳可能会远程参与圣彼得堡的会谈。
Kushner, however, may join the St. Petersburg talks remotely, a source told Russian state news agency TASS.
该消息人士称:“由于值得体谅的个人原因,库什纳没有来圣彼得堡,但通过线上参与的选择当然是存在的。”
"Due to personal circumstances that deserve consideration, Kushner did not come to St. Petersburg, but the option of joining online is certainly available," the source said.
周二,维特科夫在奥斯陆参加了关于解决乌克兰冲突的会谈,泽连斯基、挪威首相约纳斯·加尔·斯特勒和芬兰总统亚历山大·斯图布也出席了会谈。作为特朗普女婿的库什纳远程参加了讨论。
On Tuesday, Witkoff took part in talks on a settlement to the Ukraine conflict in Oslo, which were also attended by Zelenskyy, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. Kushner, who is Trump’s son-in-law, joined the discussion remotely.
磋商结束后,斯图布表示,会谈取得了进展,并且制定了某些涉及安全和经济的要素,维特科夫计划将这些要素呈交给俄罗斯领导层。
Following the consultations, Stubb said progress had been made and certain elements concerning security and the economy had been developed, which Witkoff planned to present to the Russian leadership.
美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥将奥斯陆会议描述为一次成功的会议,但表示它没有产生任何意料之外的结果。
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the Oslo meeting as successful, but said it had produced nothing unexpected.
