欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡娅·卡拉斯周一警告称，美国与伊朗之间重新升级存在严重风险，并表示进一步的对抗对双方都没有好处。
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned Monday of a serious risk of renewed escalation between the US and Iran, saying further confrontation would benefit neither side.
“美国与伊朗之间重新升级存在严重风险，任何新的升级只会让双方都成为输家，”卡拉斯在巴黎出席欧洲五国集团防长会议后的新闻发布会上表示。
"There is a serious risk of renewed escalation between the United States and Iran, and any new escalation would only have losers," Kallas said at a news conference following the European Group of Five defense ministers' meeting in Paris.
她是在概述关于中东局势、海上安全和欧洲国防备战的讨论时发表上述言论的。
Her remarks came as she outlined discussions on the Middle East, maritime security and European defense readiness.
卡拉斯表示，欧盟海军“阿斯皮德斯行动”正在帮助保持货物和石油通过红海顺畅流通。
Kallas said the EU's naval Operation Aspides was helping keep cargo and oil flowing through the Red Sea.
“我要感谢法国、意大利和希腊为这一行动作出的重要贡献，”她说。
"I want to thank France, Italy and Greece for their important contributions to this operation," she said.
她补充说，已有60多个国家加入欧盟的一项承诺，反对在国际航运航线征收通行费和费用，并强调“航行必须畅通无阻”。
More than 60 countries had joined an EU pledge opposing tolls and fees on international shipping routes, she added, stressing that "navigation must be unimpeded."
谈到黎巴嫩，卡拉斯表示欧盟正在建立一个新任务，为该国武装部队和内部安全部队提供咨询和培训。
Turning to Lebanon, Kallas said the EU was establishing a new mission to advise and train the country's armed forces and internal security forces.
“我们将帮助黎巴嫩加强领土控制、边境安全和内部安全。欧洲正在投资黎巴嫩的未来，”她说。
"We will help Lebanon to strengthen territorial control, border security, and internal security. Europe is investing in Lebanon's future," she said.
在乌克兰问题上，卡拉斯表示，新一轮外交推动与俄罗斯持续的袭击背道而驰。
On Ukraine, Kallas said the renewed diplomatic push was at odds with Russia's continued attacks.
“新的外交推动确实存在，但也很清楚，我同意我的同事们的看法，普京的行动讲述了一个不同的故事，”她说。
"The new diplomatic push is there, but it's also clear, and I agree with my colleagues, that Putin's actions tell a different story," she said.
“乌克兰短期内实现和平的希望渺茫。乌克兰面临另一个残酷的战争之冬。我们的任务是帮助其抵御袭击，并增加俄罗斯的代价。”她表示正在准备进一步制裁，并敦促加大对俄罗斯“影子舰队”的施压力度。
"There is little hope for imminent peace in Ukraine. Ukraine faces another brutal war winter. Our task is to help to withstand the attacks and increase the costs for Russia." She said further sanctions were being prepared and urged stronger pressure on Russia's shadow fleet.
“我们需要做更多工作，在海上咽喉要道增加对影子舰队的压力，”她说。
"We need to do more to increase the pressure on the shadow fleet across maritime choke points," she said.
