俄罗斯外交部长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫周二表示，据报道俄罗斯与美国之间达成的一项柴油交易是“纯粹的商业安排”，不附带任何政治或安全相关条件。
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday that a reported diesel deal between Russia and the US was a "purely business arrangement" without political or security-related conditions.
拉夫罗夫在莫斯科与非洲媒体主编举行的会议上发言时，将这一安排描述为关心本国经济和全球经济的领导人采取的“务实做法”。他说，公民的利益正被置于地缘政治目标之上。
Speaking at a meeting with chief editors of African media outlets in Moscow, Lavrov described the arrangement as a "pragmatic approach" by leaders concerned about their countries' economies and the global economy. He said the interests of citizens were being prioritized over geopolitical objectives.
拉夫罗夫说：“没有任何条件——比如‘我们从你们这里购买柴油，前提是你们在政治或安全战线上采取某些行动，无论是在霍尔木兹海峡还是其他任何地方’——完全不存在这种挂钩。”
"There were no conditions – such as 'we’ll buy diesel fuel from you, provided you take certain actions on the political or security front, whether in the Strait of Hormuz or anywhere else' – there were no such linkages whatsoever," Lavrov said.
拉夫罗夫批评欧洲的谈判方式 评论涉及俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京、芬兰总统亚历山大·斯图布和挪威首相约纳斯·加尔·斯特勒的一次电话通话时，拉夫罗夫表示，他未见到该对话的详细记录，但认为通话“没有产生任何新内容”。“这仅仅表明欧洲方面渴望插手谈判进程——尽管他们打算以何种立场这样做，仍是一个大问题，”他说。拉夫罗夫补充道：“我们目前尚未看到欧洲做法有任何改变。”
Lavrov criticizes European approach to negotiations Commenting on a phone call involving Russian President Vladimir Putin, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr, Lavrov said he had not seen a detailed account of the conversation but believed it had produced "nothing new." "This merely demonstrates a desire on the part of the Europeans to insert themselves into the negotiation process – though with what positions they intend to do so remains a big question," he said. "We do not yet see any change in Europe's approach," Lavrov added.
俄罗斯指责西方国家卷入萨赫勒地区破坏活动 转而谈及非洲问题时，拉夫罗夫指责包括法国在内的西方国家，让乌克兰军事人员卷入他所谓的萨赫勒地区恐怖行动和破坏活动，特别是在马里、尼日尔和布基纳法索。
Russia accuses Western countries of involvement in Sahel sabotage Turning to Africa, Lavrov accused Western countries, including France, of involving Ukrainian military personnel in what he described as terrorist operations and acts of sabotage in the Sahel region, particularly in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso.
拉夫罗夫声称：“越来越多的证据表明，某些西方首都，包括巴黎，虽然不止巴黎一家，正引入乌克兰军事人员执行恐怖任务。他们被带到那里，被用来组织破坏活动。”
"There is growing evidence that certain Western capitals, including Paris, though not exclusively, are bringing in Ukrainian military personnel to carry out terrorist tasks. They are being brought there and used to organize acts of sabotage," Lavrov claimed.
他说，俄罗斯正在协助萨赫勒国家打击恐怖主义，俄罗斯国防部的非洲军团在该地区开展行动。
He said Russia was assisting Sahel countries in their fight against terrorism, with the Russian Defense Ministry's Africa Corps operating in the region.
