据知情人士透露，总统弗拉基米尔·普京正准备与芬兰总统亚历山大·斯图布和挪威首相约纳斯·加尔·斯特勒通电话，讨论乌克兰和平协议的前景。
President Vladimir Putin is preparing for phone talks with Finland’s President Alexander Stubb and Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre to discuss the prospects for a peace deal in Ukraine, according to people familiar with the matter.
这些人士称，三位领导人最早可能在周二通话。他们因讨论机密问题而要求匿名。
The three leaders may speak as soon as Tuesday, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential issues.
克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫未立即回应置评请求。挪威政府发言人拉格希尔德·西门斯塔德拒绝立即置评。斯图布的办公室未立即回应置评请求。
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Norway’s government spokeswoman Ragnhild Simenstad declined to comment immediately. Stubb’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
此次计划中的通话之前，各方为重振和平谈判作出了新的努力，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的特使史蒂夫·维特科夫上周在圣彼得堡拜访了普京。维特科夫此前在奥斯陆与乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基及两位北欧领导人举行了会谈，随后前往俄罗斯。
The planned talks follow a revived effort to get peace negotiations on track, with US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff visiting Putin in St. Petersburg last week. Witkoff traveled to Russia after holding talks in Oslo with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the two Nordic leaders.
这将是自法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙去年7月与俄罗斯总统通话以来，普京与乌克兰盟友中的欧洲高级领导人之间的首次直接接触。
It would be the first direct contact between Putin and top European leaders allied with Kyiv since French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with his Russian counterpart in July last year.
乌克兰的欧洲盟友正寻求在欧洲安全问题的讨论中占据一席之地，斯特勒和斯图布都以各自国家与俄罗斯共享边界为由，说明他们为何应当参与会谈。
Ukraine’s European allies are seeking a seat at the table on discussions about European security, and both Støre and Stubb have used their countries’ shared border with Russia as justification for why they should be part of the talks.
佩斯科夫在上周会谈后表示，俄罗斯将挪威和芬兰视为解决乌克兰战争的新参与方，这场战争现已进入第五年。他说，俄罗斯将观察“他们究竟能否做到”。
Peskov said after last week’s talks that Russia regarded Norway and Finland as new participants in efforts to resolve the war in Ukraine that’s now in its fifth year. Russia will see “whether they can do so at all,” he said.
乌克兰与美国的关系正处于新的低点，此前特朗普本月早些时候与普京达成了一项柴油协议，而围绕星链互联网连接放缓的紧张局势也随之升温，星链对基辅抵御俄罗斯导弹袭击的能力至关重要。乌克兰的预算需求不断攀升，而该国缺乏抵御俄罗斯预计将于冬季发动的猛烈攻势所需的防空力量。
Ukraine’s relations with the US are at a new low after Trump struck a diesel deal with Putin earlier this month and tensions flared over the slowing of Starlink internet connections that are vital to Kyiv’s ability to defend against Russian missile attacks. Budget needs are spiraling and the country lacks the air defenses needed to fend off Russia’s expected winter onslaught.
