柏林——德国政府11月6日表示，美国中期选举中特朗普总统所属的共和党惨败，给结束乌克兰战争的努力带来了“新的紧迫感”。
BERLIN - The German government said on Nov 6 the US midterm elections, which saw a rout for President Donald Trump’s Republicans, had given a “new urgency” to efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
梅尔茨总理发言人斯特凡·科尔内利乌斯表示，11月5日晚，特朗普与德国总理弗里德里希·梅尔茨通电话，讨论了这场冲突。
On the night of Nov 5, Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz spoke by phone to discuss the conflict, said Merz’s spokesman Stefan Kornelius.
特朗普11月5日在白宫对记者说，在会见俄罗斯领导人普京的特使后，他预计将与俄罗斯达成一项“非常重大”的协议，涉及的不仅是乌克兰，而是“整个欧洲”。“显然，中期选举后，有一种新的紧迫感，”科尔内利乌斯说。
Trump had told reporters in the White House on Nov 5 he was expecting a “very big” deal with Russia involving not only Ukraine but “all of Europe” after meeting Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s envoy. “Clearly, after the midterms, there is a new feeling of urgency,” Kornelius said.
旨在结束战争的谈判定于下周在阿布扎比举行，将在美国斡旋下进行。
Talks aimed at ending the war are scheduled for next week in Abu Dhabi and will be held with US mediation.
科尔内利乌斯表示，德国“深度参与”了这些谈判的筹备工作，“与我们在E3（英法德三国）的伙伴以及欧洲其他国家一起”。
Kornelius said Germany was “closely involved” in preparations for those negotiations “together with our partners in the E3 and others in Europe”.
科尔内利乌斯说，德国政府在谈判的核心议题上“与美国政府意见一致”，包括“北约伙伴必须参与”这一进程。
“The German government is in agreement with the American government” over central points in the talks, Kornelius said, including that “NATO partners must be on board” in the process.
他说：“关于欧洲安全和乌克兰和平的谈判关乎欧洲的核心利益，因此没有欧洲参与的谈判是无用的。”
“Talks about European security and peace in Ukraine affect Europe to its core and therefore talks with no European participation are not useful,” he said.
特朗普的特使兼女婿贾里德·库什纳11月5日表示，美国将在阿布扎比会谈“间隙”“与我们的欧洲伙伴密切磋商”，并“如果取得进展，旨在向更广泛的多边机制迈进，让他们直接参与其中”。
Jared Kushner, Trump’s envoy and son-in-law, said on Nov 5 that the United States would “consult closely with our European partners on the sidelines” of the Abu Dhabi talks, and “if progress is made, aim to move towards a broader multilateral format with their direct participation”.
