10月27日——总统泽连斯基周二表示，乌克兰部队正通过一系列攻势收复领土，其中包括一项此前未曾公开的行动，基辅部队利用天然气管道包抄俄军阵地。
Oct 27 - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces were retaking territory through a series of offensives, including one operation previously unannounced in which Kyiv's troops used gas pipelines to outflank Russian positions.
泽连斯基在每晚的视频讲话中说，基辅在战场上的地位是这场持续4年半战争以来某段时间内最强的，如果西方盟友能提供更多防空系统，这一地位还能进一步巩固。
Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address, said Kyiv's battlefield position was the strongest in some time in the 4-1/2-year-long war and could be made stronger with more deliveries of air defence systems from its Western allies.
泽连斯基援引高级指挥官的报告，首次提及乌克兰东北部的“维莱斯”管道行动。他还提到东部乌克兰的空中突击行动，以及更北面的“维瓦尔第”行动，旨在阻止俄军在关键地区推进。
Zelenskiy, citing a report by senior commanders, noted for the first time the "Veles" operation using pipelines in Ukraine's northeast. He also referred to an air assault operation in eastern Ukraine and the "Vivaldi" operation further to the north, designed to prevent Russian advances in key areas.
他说，“维莱斯”行动在库皮扬斯克附近进行，这座哈尔科夫州东北部城市于2022年底被乌克兰部队收复，但此后一直处于俄军持续施压之下。
He said Operation Veles was conducted near Kupiansk, a city in northeastern Kharkiv region recaptured by Ukrainian forces in late 2022, but since under constant Russian pressure.
“这是一场强有力的行动，计划周密且技术驱动。俄军试图利用地下天然气管道绕过我方阵地推进，”泽连斯基说。
"It is a strong operation, well planned and technology-driven. The Russians tried to use underground gas pipelines to advance past our positions," Zelenskiy said.
“我们的战士将这一战术反用于俄军，利用地下基础设施对抗占领者，取得了非凡的成功，”他说。
"Our fighters turned this tactic against the Russians and used the underground infrastructure against the occupiers with extraordinary success," he said.
在“维瓦尔第”攻势中，一名高级指挥官上个月报告称，乌克兰第三军团清除了75平方公里（29平方英里）范围内的俄军渗透小组，并进一步收复了10平方公里领土。
In the Vivaldi offensive, one senior commander reported last month that Ukraine's Third Army Corps had cleared an area of 75 square kilometres (29 square miles) of Russian infiltration groups and recaptured a further 10 square kilometres.
该行动聚焦于该地区关键据点——即斯洛维安斯克和克拉马托尔斯克两座城市组成的所谓“堡垒带”以北。攻下这两座城市将使俄罗斯更接近其夺取整个顿巴斯地区的目标。
That operation was focused to the north of the key strongholds in the region — the so-called "fortress belt" of the cities Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Their capture would bring Russia closer to its goal of seizing the entire Donbas region.
泽连斯基8月曾谈到南部更远地区攻势的成功，称已有26个村庄重回乌克兰控制。
Zelenskiy in August spoke of success in an offensive further south, with 26 villages being returned to Ukrainian control.
俄罗斯表示，它更倾向于对战争进行整体解决，而不是短暂的停火，并承诺继续推进夺取整个顿巴斯的行动。
Russia says it favours an overall resolution of the war rather than a short-lived ceasefire and has pledged to pursue its drive to capture all of Donbas.
俄罗斯指挥官屡次在普京总统面前的公告中称，俄军正在1,200公里（750英里）前线的所有方向推进。
Russian commanders repeatedly say, often in announcements in President Vladimir Putin's presence, that their forces are advancing on all sections of the 1,200-km (750-mile) front line.
俄罗斯总参谋部参谋长瓦列里·格拉西莫夫本月表示，自九月初以来，俄军已夺取了92个乌克兰定居点，其中包括多布罗皮利亚镇。乌克兰军方驳斥了俄罗斯的上述说法。
The chief of Russia's General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, said this month that Moscow's forces had captured 92 Ukrainian settlements, including the town of Dobropillia, since the beginning of September. Ukraine's military dismissed the Russian statements.
