美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥周二(11月10日)称赞美国斡旋的俄罗斯与乌克兰在阿布扎比举行的会谈“非常有成效”,并表示讨论应扩大,让欧洲人也参与其中。
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday, November 10, hailed US-mediated talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi as "very productive" and said the discussions should be expanded to include Europeans at the table.
“我们认为三方(俄罗斯、乌克兰和美国的格局)最终也应让我们的欧洲伙伴参与其中,因为他们是长期解决这一问题的一部分,”他在阿联酋首都阿布扎比首日会谈后于巴黎表示。
"We think the trilateral (format of Russia, Ukraine and the United States) should eventually include our European partners at the table as well, because they are a part of solving this problem for the long term," he said in Paris after the first day of talks in the UAE capital.
欧洲国家的高级官员正在阿布扎比参加会谈。但目前的正式讨论仅涉及俄罗斯、乌克兰和美国。
Senior officials from European countries are in Abu Dhabi for the talks. But the formal discussions currently just involve Russia, Ukraine and the US.
“欧洲一直存在担忧,认为他们会被排除在外,认为美国会与俄罗斯达成一些让欧洲无法参与的协议,”鲁比奥说。但他否认了这种情况,指出欧洲官员在阿布扎比的存在,并反复强调会谈应超越三方格局。
"There is always concern in Europe that they are going to be left out, that America is going to cut some deal with Russia that leaves Europe out of the equation," said Rubio. But he denied this was the case, pointing to the European presence in Abu Dhabi and repeatedly emphasizing the talks should be expanded beyond a trilateral format.
关于结束由俄罗斯2022年2月全面入侵引发的战争的进程,他说:“在这方面显然还有大量工作要做。这不是24小时内就能解决的事情。”
On the process to end the war sparked by Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, he said: "There is obviously a lot of work to be done in that regard. It's not something that is going to be solved in the next 24 hours."
德国外交部长约翰·瓦德富尔表示,他对欧洲官员在阿布扎比会谈边缘参与的安排“并不完全满意”,但称这“已成为一个明智的中间步骤”。“最重要的是谈判已经恢复。我们很清楚,在这一初步步骤中无法确保欧洲全面参与,”他承认道。
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said he was "not entirely satisfied" with the arrangement of European officials taking part in the Abu Dhabi talks on the sidelines but said "it has served as a sensible intermediate step." "The most important thing is that negotiations have resumed. We were well aware that we would not be able to secure full European participation in this first step," he acknowledged.
“尽管如此,我非常有信心,这在未来可以实现,”他说,并补充道,“在我们看来,下一轮——无论在哪里举行——都必须包括欧洲的参与。”他说,这些谈判是检验俄罗斯对这些谈判是否真正认真的“试金石”,鉴于包括乌克兰加入欧盟在内的问题,欧洲的出席至关重要。最终对俄罗斯的制裁解除问题也将需要提出。
"Nevertheless, I am very confident that this can be achieved in the future," he said, adding that "in our view, the next round – wherever it may take place – must include European participation." He said the talks serve as a "litmus test for how serious Russia truly is about these negotiations" and Europe's presence was essential given issues including Ukraine's EU membership. Eventual sanctions easing on Russia will need to be raised.
