在乌克兰战争进入第五年之际，俄罗斯正寻求额外的资金来源以弥补预算赤字，并计划出售国有航运巨头“索夫科姆弗洛特”7.8%的股份。
Russia plans to sell a 7.8% stake in state-controlled shipping giant Sovcomflot as it seeks additional sources to cover its budget deficit in the fifth year of the war in Ukraine.
国家资产基金周二表示，已开始遴选程序，以组织出售该公司7.8%（减去一股）的股份。申请人将被要求提交一份关于“能够最大化联邦预算现金收益的可能交易结构”的报告。
The state property fund said on Tuesday it has begun a selection process to organise the sale of 7.8%, minus one share, in the company. Applicants will be required to submit a report on "possible deal structures that would maximise cash proceeds to the federal budget".
*俄罗斯目前持有“索夫科姆弗洛特”82.8%的股份，曾在2020年通过首次公开募股出售了17.2%的股份。
Russia currently holds 82.8% of Sovcomflot, having sold 17.2% through an initial public offering in 2020.
这笔额外的出售将使国家保留这家具有战略意义的公司75%加一股的股份，该公司在出口俄罗斯石油和天然气（包括来自北极项目的液化天然气运输）方面发挥着关键作用。
The additional sale would leave the state with 75% plus one share of the strategically important company, which plays a key role in exporting Russian oil and gas, including LNG shipments from Arctic projects.
根据该公司在莫斯科交易所的当前股价计算，通过出售这部分股份，俄罗斯可以筹集大约150亿卢布（合18,378万美元）。
By selling the stake Russia could raise about 15 billion roubles ($183.78 million), based on the company's current share price on the Moscow Exchange.
在乌克兰冲突进入第五年之际，为了应对不断上升的军事开支，俄罗斯除了已经推出的增税措施外，还在寻求额外的预算收入来源。
In the fifth year of the Ukraine conflict, Russia is seeking additional sources of budget revenue on top of tax rises it has already introduced, to cope with rising military spending.
根据财政部估计，今年预算赤字预计将比最初计划增加一倍以上，达到占GDP的3.2%。
According to Finance Ministry estimates, the budget deficit is expected to more than double from the initial plan this year, to 3.2% of GDP.
除了“索夫科姆弗洛特”之外，俄罗斯还计划出售新罗西斯克商业海港20%的股份以及国家航空公司俄罗斯航空23.8%的股份。
In addition to Sovcomflot, Russia is also planning to sell a 20% stake in Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NMTP) and a 23.8% stake in flag carrier Aeroflot.
