基辅，10月26日电——六周前，维塔利、妻子伊琳娜、13岁的儿子弗拉德和他们的猫离开了被俄罗斯占领的乌克兰城镇奥列什基，以逃避他们担心的必死无疑的饥饿。
KYIV, Oct 26 - Six weeks ago, Vitaly, his wife Iryna, their 13-year-old son Vlad and their cat left the besieged town of Oleshky in Russian-occupied Ukraine to escape what they feared was certain death by starvation.
现在，在经历了一次穿越俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的艰难旅程后返回乌克兰，维塔利对定于周二开始的家乡临时停火持深深的怀疑态度，该停火旨在允许撤离平民和运送物资。
Now back in Ukraine after a gruelling journey via Russia and Belarus, Vitaly views with deep scepticism a temporary ceasefire in his native town set to begin on Tuesday to allow evacuations and send in supplies.
在白宫周五宣布、美国第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普斡旋、教皇利奥进一步介入后，俄罗斯和乌克兰达成了该协议。
Russia and Ukraine reached the agreement, announced by the White House on Friday, with the mediation of US first lady Melania Trump and after additional involvement from Pope Leo.
在俄乌激烈交火的前线城镇生活了四年多，维塔利对停火能否长久维持、人道主义局势能否显著改善并不乐观。
After more than four years living under Russian occupation in a town on the front line of fierce fighting with Ukrainian forces, Vitaly is not optimistic that the ceasefire can hold for long or the humanitarian situation significantly improve.
“关于停战，我对这一切非常怀疑，”55岁的维塔利说，出于安全原因他拒绝透露姓氏，因为他的亲戚仍生活在俄罗斯占领的乌克兰部分地区。
"Regarding the truce, I'm very sceptical about all this," said Vitaly, 55, who declined to give his last name for security reasons because his relatives were still living in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine.
“我非常尊重梅拉尼娅·特朗普，但她无法影响独裁者（俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·）普京，”他在基辅地区的一套现代公寓里告诉路透社，他的一家人暂时安顿在那里。他说，留在奥列什基的许多人患病或年迈，很难搬迁。
"I have a lot of respect for Melania Trump, but she does not influence dictator (Russian President Vladimir) Putin," he told Reuters, sitting in a modern apartment in the Kyiv region where his family has temporarily settled. He said many of those remaining in Oleshky are sick or elderly and it would be difficult for them to relocate.
乌克兰和俄罗斯互相指责对方导致奥列什基的人道主义危机。无人机对平民生命构成最大威胁，该镇处于双方无人机的轻松打击范围内。
Ukraine and Russia blame each other for the humanitarian crisis in Oleshky. Drones present the greatest threat to civilian life, and the town is within easy reach of unmanned aerial vehicles belonging to both armies.
由于物资耗尽，北上的路线被第聂伯河阻断，一些居民不得不步行20公里（12英里）到邻村储备食物和水。这段旅程充满危险，当地人称之为“死亡之路”。临时停火协议乌克兰和俄罗斯同意在奥列什基附近实行临时停火，预计将于10月27日基辅时间凌晨3点（格林尼治标准时间0100）开始。
Because supplies are running out and the route north is blocked by the Dnipro river, some residents have walked 20 km (12 miles) to the next village to stock up on food and water. The journey is fraught with danger and locals call it the "road of death". TEMPORARY CEASEFIRE AGREED Ukraine and Russia agreed to a temporary ceasefire around Oleshky that is expected to begin on October 27 at 3 a.m. Kyiv time (0100 GMT).
乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，基辅希望能够打开奥列什基，提供食品和药品的通道，并允许人们离开该地区。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that Kyiv hoped it would be possible to open up Oleshky, provide access for food and medicine and allow people to leave the area.
克里姆林宫称，所有希望离开奥列什基的平民都将被允许离开，撤离预计至少需要几天时间。
The Kremlin has said that all civilians wishing to leave Oleshky would be allowed to do so and that the evacuation was expected to take at least several days.
奥列什基是位于第聂伯河对岸、靠近乌克兰地区中心城市赫尔松的小镇，战前人口约为24,000人。根据联合国人权监督团在乌克兰的报告，现仍居住约1,700名居民，其中约有35名儿童。在俄罗斯控制下自2022年2月全面入侵的最初几天起，俄罗斯部队就占领了奥列什基。
Oleshky, a small town across the Dnipro from Ukraine's regional hub of Kherson, had a prewar population of some 24,000. It is still home to around 1,700 residents, including about 35 children, according to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine. UNDER RUSSIAN CONTROL Russian troops have occupied Oleshky since the first days of the full-scale invasion in February 2022.
自2023年卡霍夫卡大坝被毁并导致附近地区洪水后，该镇基本失去自来水、电力、燃气和集中供暖。
It has been largely cut off from running water, electricity, gas and central heating since the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in 2023 and subsequent flooding of nearby areas.
随着战争的持续，人道危机加深。去年年中，持续的无人机威胁切断了补给线，导致食品短缺。
As the war ground on, the humanitarian crisis deepened. By the middle of last year, the constant threat of drones choked off supply lines, causing food scarcity.
而据路透社采访的居民称，从今年5月下旬起，局势变得十分严峻。
And from late May this year, the situation became severe, according to residents Reuters has spoken to.
维塔利说，他的家人在数周内靠每天仅分配一杯米或荞麦度日，偶尔会加入黄瓜或番茄并拌入一种常见的野草马齿苋。
Vitaly said his family survived for weeks by rationing a single cup of rice or buckwheat a day, occasionally adding a cucumber or tomato mixed with purslane, a common wild weed.
在夏季，一些居民能够出售蔬菜，但价格对大多数人来说难以承受。
During the summer months, some residents could sell vegetables, but prices were unaffordable for most.
一公斤番茄约需1,500卢布（约合18.5美元）。维塔利回忆说，要买鸡蛋必须认识对的人，10个鸡蛋大约要3,000卢布。没有人愿意出售土豆。
A kilo of tomatoes cost about 1,500 roubles ($18.50). To buy eggs, you needed to know the right people and 10 eggs would cost around 3,000 roubles, Vitaly recalled. No one was willing to sell potatoes.
清点完微薄的食物储备，回想起去年冬天公寓室温降至摄氏1至3度（华氏34至37度），他们决定离开。
After counting their meagre food stocks, and remembering last winter when the temperature in their apartment dropped to between 1 and 3 degrees Celsius (34 and 37 degrees Fahrenheit), they decided to leave.
“看着剩下的食物储备，你会意识到只有一条路摆在你面前——步行离开，或者饿死，”维塔利说。伊琳娜说，他们在奥列什基的家被无人机炸毁，那里已一无所有。
"You look at what remained from your food supplies and realize that there is only one way for you — to go on foot or die of hunger," Vitaly said. Their home in Oleshky had been damaged by a drone, Iryna said, and they did not have anything left there.
艰难逃亡 9月13日，这家人加入了一个由八人组成的小队，徒步出发。他们走了20多公里到达拉登斯克村。
ARDUOUS ESCAPE On September 13, the family joined a small party of eight people and set out on foot. They walked for more than 20 km to the village of Radensk.
道路布满地雷，头顶有无人机盘旋。维塔利说，他们路过时看见一具女尸躺在路边。他们只带了秋装、弗拉德的泰迪熊、猫和几张全家福。
The road was heavily mined, and drones were flying overhead. Vitaly said they saw the body of a woman lying on the road as they passed by. They took with them only their autumn clothes, Vlad's teddy bear, the cat and a handful of family photos.
他们从拉登斯克乘巴士深入俄罗斯占领的乌克兰领土，在边境经历漫长盘问后进入俄罗斯，随后抵达白俄罗斯，于9月17日终于返回乌克兰控制区。过去几周，这家人一直在基辅地区适应新的生活节奏。他们最早的采购之一是一袋土豆，打算给儿子做土豆泥。
They travelled from Radensk by bus deeper into Russian-occupied Ukraine, crossed into Russia after lengthy questioning by authorities at the border, and finally Belarus before returning to Ukrainian-controlled territory on September 17. The family has spent the past several weeks settling into a new routine in the Kyiv region. One of their first purchases was a bag of potatoes, bought to cook mashed potatoes for their son.
“孩子要上学了。我们要去工作。我妻子需要稍微恢复一下健康，”维塔利说。
"The kid will be in school. We will be working. My wife needs to get her health back on track a bit," Vitaly said.
