乌克兰赫尔松——在这座俄罗斯无人机通常填满天空的城市里,奥莱娜·索博列娃(Olena Soboleva)无法轻易走在街上去见她最好的朋友安娜·赫拉西缅科(Anna Herasimenko)。
KHERSON, Ukraine — In this city where Russian drones usually fill the skies, Olena Soboleva could not easily walk down the street to meet her best friend, Anna Herasimenko.
随后上周达成了停战协议,由美国第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普(Melania Trump)和教皇利奥十四世(Pope Leo XIV)斡旋,涵盖乌克兰南部包括赫尔松在内的一个角落。
Then came last week's truce, negotiated by First Lady Melania Trump and Pope Leo XIV, in a corner of southern Ukraine that included Kherson.
这个周末,这两位均为21岁的朋友抓住机会走出户外,享受没有无人机和制导炸弹的秋日天空。
This weekend, the two friends, both 21, took the opportunity to venture outside to autumnal skies clear of drones and guided bombs.
“没有无人机,没有爆炸,”索博列娃说。“没人想杀你。”她们经过推着孩子散步的家庭、囤积物资的购物者和牵手的情侣。她们在一家挂满猫咪画作的咖啡馆前排队。
"No drones, no explosions," Soboleva says. "No one wants to kill you." They passed families strolling with their kids, shoppers stocking up on supplies and couples holding hands. They lined up at a cafe filled with paintings of cats.

“城市看起来活过来了,”赫拉西缅科说,“就像过去一样。”周末里,她还去了一趟美甲店。
"The city seems alive," says Herasimenko, "just like it used to be." Over the weekend, she had also ventured to a salon.
“我做了指甲,”她展示着新涂的酒红色指甲油说道。“街上全是人,就像过去一样。”
"I did my nails," she says, showing off fresh burgundy polish. "The streets are full of people, just as they were in the past."
停战于周日晚间结束。俄罗斯和乌克兰同意停战,是为了帮助第聂伯河(Dnipro River)对岸的奥列什基(Oleshky)镇。俄罗斯军队于2022年占领了奥列什基,并在其周围布雷。食物和药品极难送达。美国国家公共电台(NPR)采访了那里居民的家属,他们表示亲人靠咸菜和煮野草度日。
The truce ended Sunday night. Russia and Ukraine agreed to it in order to help Oleshky, a town across the Dnipro River from Kherson. Russian troops occupied Oleshky in 2022 and mined the land around it. Food and medicine rarely got through. NPR spoke to the families of residents there, who said their loved ones survived on pickles and boiled weeds.

周末期间,数百名奥列什基居民被疏散,最终在护送下乘坐大巴前往乌克兰北部。乌克兰人权监察员——该国独立的人权监督机构——德米特罗·卢比涅茨(Dmytro Lubinets)感谢梅拉尼娅·特朗普确保了这场从10月27日持续到11月1日的停火得以实现。
Over the weekend, hundreds of Oleshky residents were evacuated, eventually escorted into northern Ukraine on buses. Dmytro Lubinets, Ukraine's ombudsman — the country's independent watchdog for human rights — thanked Melania Trump for ensuring that the ceasefire, which lasted from Oct. 27 to Nov. 1, happened.


“我相信它们可以被遵守和履行,”卢比涅茨谈到乌克兰和俄罗斯之间的停战协议时说道。
"I believe they can be upheld and honored," Lubinets said about truces between Ukraine and Russia.
即使是短暂的敌对行动暂停,对赫尔松来说也是一种喘息。俄罗斯军队曾占领该市数月,直到2022年当地游击队为乌克兰军队提供情报,才将俄罗斯军队赶出城市。
Even a short pause in hostilities was a respite for Kherson. Russian troops occupied the city for several months in 2022, until local partisans spied for Ukrainian soldiers, who then forced the Russians out of the city.


自2024年以来,部署在河对岸的俄军一直利用绑有炸药的FPV(第一人称视角)无人机猎杀赫尔松居民。通往赫尔松的公路被厚重的网状防护网构成的隧道所覆盖,以保护当地民众免受这些无人机袭击。这些反无人机网也覆盖了赫尔松的街道和许多建筑。本周末,汽车停在标志着城市入口的希腊风格纪念碑旁。
Since 2024, Russian troops based across the river have hunted Kherson residents with FPV (first-person-view) drones strapped with explosives. The highway into Kherson is shrouded in tunnels of heavy mesh nets to protect locals from these drones. These anti-drone nets also cover Kherson's streets and many of its buildings. This weekend, cars pulled up next to the Greek-style monument marking the city's gateway.

退休警察斯维特拉娜·沃罗比约娃从她现在居住的一个更安全的城市驱车来到这里。她和孩子们在纪念碑前拍照留念。
Svitlana Vorobiova, a retired police officer, drove here from a safer city where she now lives. She took photos with her children at the monument.

“我在赫尔松有住所,我的父母也在这里,”她说,声音哽咽。泪水盈满了眼眶。
"I have a place in Kherson, and my parents are also here," she says, and her voice breaks. Tears fill her eyes.

“我带着儿子一起来,”沃罗比约娃说。“他已经四年没回这里了。他说:‘我简直不敢相信我回到了家乡!’”在城内,赫尔松前市长弗拉基米尔·米科拉延科漫步在一座曾经宏伟的行政大楼被压垮的废墟旁。当地居民拦住他,纷纷与他握手。他说很高兴看到这么多人走出家门。
"I brought my son with me," Vorobiova says. "He hasn't been here in four years. He said, 'I cannot believe I'm in my hometown!'" Inside the city, Volodymyr Mykolaienko, a former mayor of Kherson, strolls past the crushed remains of a once-grand administrative building. Locals stop him and shake his hand. He says he's happy to see so many people outside.

“最近我经常在城里走走,”他说。“我待不住家里。”现年66岁的米科拉延科曾在俄罗斯度过数年战俘生涯,被关押在狭小的房间里,遭受饥饿和酷刑折磨。2022年初,当赫尔松处于俄罗斯占领之下时,俄军在该市逮捕了他。米科拉延科去年通过换俘获释,回到了家人仍居住的赫尔松。
"I walk around the city a lot these days," he says. "I cannot sit still at home." Mykolaienko, 66, spent years as a prisoner of war in Russia, confined to tiny rooms, starved and tortured. Russian troops arrested him in Kherson in early 2022, when the city was under Russian occupation. Mykolaienko was freed last year in a prisoner exchange and returned to Kherson, where his family still lives.


这次停火让他得以祭扫父亲的墓地。墓地位于城市通常布满无人机的区域。
This truce allowed him to visit his father's grave. The cemetery is in a part of the city that's usually filled with drones.
“我无法自抑,”他说。“我终于能做我渴望已久的事了——和父亲交谈、祈祷,感谢他给了我生命,并告诉他我们的城市发生了什么。”在一个繁忙的公交站旁,肿瘤科护士奥列娜·叶戈罗娃对一位演奏手风琴民间音乐的白发老人微笑。
"I could not hold myself back," he says. "I was able to do exactly what I have long wanted to do — to talk to my father, pray, thank him for my life and to tell him what was happening to our city." At a busy bus stop, oncology nurse Olena Yehorova smiles at a gray-haired man playing folk music on his accordion.

“这次停火让我们如释重负,”她说。“我们城市的人们终于能喘口气了。当然,我们走路依然小心翼翼,因为你无法信任俄罗斯人。”她忍不住抬头望向天空。几小时后,停火结束。她说她预计新的袭击随时可能重启。基辅发稿。
"This truce has been such a relief," she says. "The people in our city have been able to breathe. Of course, we still walk around with caution, because you cannot trust the Russians." She couldn't help looking up at the sky. A few hours later, the truce was over. She said she expects new attacks to resume at any time. from Kyiv.
