华盛顿：美国第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普将于周四（11月5日）在白宫接待来自莫斯科和基辅的官员，此举是在阿布扎比旨在结束乌克兰战争的会谈之前进行的。
WASHINGTON: US First Lady Melania Trump will host officials from Moscow and Kyiv at the White House on Thursday (Nov 5), ahead of talks in Abu Dhabi aimed at ending the Ukraine war.
随着莫斯科对乌克兰的全面入侵进入第五年，这番会谈重燃了和平希望，而唐纳德·特朗普总统与弗拉基米尔·普京总统近期的关系缓和，引发了美国可能背弃基辅的担忧。
The talks have revived hopes for peace, as Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine grinds through its fifth year, and a recent rapprochement between presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin has raised concerns the United States could turn its back on Kyiv.
俄罗斯国有塔斯社周三援引克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫的话报道称，俄罗斯总统国际经济合作顾问基里尔·德米特里耶夫和人权专员亚娜·兰特拉托娃计划于周四会见梅拉尼娅·特朗普，“前提是所有后勤安排都顺利进行”。
Moscow's adviser for international economic cooperation, Kirill Dmitriev, and human rights ombudsman Yana Lantratova plan to meet Melania Trump on Thursday "provided that all logistical arrangements work out", Russia's state-owned TASS news agency reported Wednesday, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
乌克兰人权专员德米特罗·卢比涅茨宣布，他也将在华盛顿会见梅拉尼娅·特朗普。
Ukraine's human rights ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, announced he would also be meeting Melania Trump in Washington. "I am heading to Washington.
“我正前往华盛顿。重要会议在即。但在我赶路之际，我想问你们一件事：如果你们能向美国第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普传达一条信息，你们会对她说什么？”卢比涅茨周三在脸书上写道。
Important meetings lie ahead. But while I am on the road, I want to ask you something: If you could convey a single message to US First Lady Melania Trump, what would you say to her?" Lubinets wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.
“第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普将亲自把两个正在交战国家——俄罗斯和乌克兰的代表聚集在白宫，”她的办公室此前在一份声明中说。
"First Lady Melania Trump will personally bring representatives of Russia and Ukraine, two nations actively at war, together at the White House," her office had previously said in a statement.
此次会晤是在乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，他已与美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和贾里德·库什纳进行了“非常详细、长达一个半小时”的对话之后举行的，这是自2月以来三方首次会谈，地点定在下周的阿布扎比。
The meeting comes after Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had "very detailed, hour-and-a-half-long" conversations with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner ahead of next week's meeting in Abu Dhabi, the first talks between all three sides since February.
罕见停火 周三早些时候，泽连斯基因梅拉尼娅在促成一项部分停火协议中发挥的作用而授予其国家荣誉，该协议允许平民从一个被俄罗斯占领的城镇撤离。

“我特此颁布法令，授予美利坚合众国第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普奥尔加公主一级勋章，”乌克兰总统网站上发布的法令写道。
"I hereby decree that the Order of Princess Olga, First Class, be awarded to Melania Trump, First Lady of the United States of America," a decree read on the Ukrainian presidential website.
文件确认了她“对乌克兰人道主义援助、以及积极开展人权和慈善工作作出的重大个人贡献”。“特朗普女士独立发起接触”，以争取“在奥列什基及周边赫尔松地区实现停火”，她的办公室在一份声明中说。
The text acknowledged her "significant personal contribution to humanitarian support for Ukraine, and for active human rights and charitable work." "Mrs Trump independently initiated engagement" to secure "a ceasefire in Oleshky and the surrounding Kherson region," her office said in a statement.
第一夫人预计将于周四上午11点（新加坡时间周五凌晨0点）在白宫发表讲话。
The first lady was expected to speak at 11am (12am Singapore time) Thursday at the White House.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的妻子梅拉尼娅·特朗普上个月宣布了乌克兰和俄罗斯部队之间的局部停火，以便让南部前线奥列什基的居民在经历数周食物和药品短缺后得以离开。
Melania Trump, the wife of US President Donald Trump, had announced the localised truce between Ukrainian and Russian forces last month to allow for residents of Oleshky on the southern front to leave after suffering weeks of shortages of food and medicine.
这一罕见的停战得到了双方遵守，使得道路得以排雷，居民得以前往乌克兰或俄罗斯。
The rare halt in fighting, which was respected by both sides, allowed roads to be demined and residents to depart for either Ukraine or Russia.
“这一成就标志着美国第一夫人发起的一项前所未有的外交倡议，”她办公室的声明周二表示。第一夫人还参与了将被带往俄罗斯的乌克兰儿童送回的努力。
"This achievement marks an unprecedented diplomatic initiative by an American First Lady," her office's statement said Tuesday. The first lady has also been involved in efforts to return Ukrainian children taken to Russia.
