俄罗斯和乌克兰周三表示，双方已同意进行大规模战俘交换。此前，由美国斡旋的两天会谈结束，但双方并未宣布在结束冲突方面取得重大突破。这场冲突始于近五年前莫斯科发动的全面入侵。
Russia and Ukraine agreed to a large exchange of prisoners of war, both sides said Wednesday as two days of US mediated talks concluded, but they announced no major breakthrough on ending the conflict that began after Moscow’s full-scale invasion nearly five years ago.
外界对双方代表团九个月来首次会晤取得任何重大进展的期望本就不高。俄乌此前不时交换战俘，但在接受和平解决方案的要求上仍相距甚远。
Hopes had been low for any significant development in the first meeting in nine months between the delegations. Russia and Ukraine have from time to time swapped POWs but have remained far apart in their demands for accepting a peace settlement.
美国官员表示，他们决心重振华盛顿的和平努力，这些努力迄今未能取得重大成果。
US officials say they are determined to revive Washington’s peace efforts that so far have failed to deliver significant results.
除了战后对两国的安全保障外，谈判代表面临的其他主要障碍还包括俄罗斯占领的乌克兰领土的命运，以及欧洲国家将在最终解决方案中扮演什么角色。
As well as post-war security guarantees for both countries, other key hurdles for negotiators are the fate of Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory and what role European countries will play in an eventual settlement.
这是自2月以来双方首次就俄罗斯入侵举行此类会晤。分析人士和人道主义组织称，这场入侵已导致数十万名士兵和数千名平民丧生。
The session was the first such meeting since February on Russia’s invasion, which analysts and humanitarian organisations say has killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and thousands of civilians.
周三的会谈持续了不到两个小时，此前一天进行了长达四小时的会谈。
The talks lasted just under two hours on Wednesday, after a four-hour session the previous day.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的女婿贾里德·库什纳在阿布扎比会谈结束后表示：“积极的一面之一是，我们同意将进行最大规模的人道主义战俘释放，具体人数我们明天敲定。”
“One of the positives is we agreed that we’re going to have the biggest humanitarian release of prisoners, which we’re going to finalise the numbers tomorrow,” said Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, after the talks in Abu Dhabi ended.
俄罗斯代表团团长弗拉基米尔·梅金斯基和率领基辅代表团的鲁斯捷姆·乌梅罗夫证实了计划中的战俘交换，不过梅金斯基指出，该协议是“原则性的”。
Vladimir Medinsky, the head of the Russian delegation, and Rustem Umerov, who led Kyiv’s contingent, confirmed the planned POW exchange, although Medinsky noted that the agreement was “in principle”.
出席会谈的俄军总参谋部信息局副局长亚历山大·佐林对俄罗斯国家电视台表示，这将是继去年1000名士兵返回家园之后规模最大的此类交换之一。他说，最新一次交换可能在未来两到三周内进行。
Alexander Zorin, a deputy chief of the General Staff’s information department who attended the talks, told Russian state TV that it would be one of the biggest such swaps following the 1,000 soldiers returned home last year. The latest exchange could take place in the next two or three weeks, he said.
库什纳表示，他和美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫将于周四前往莫斯科会见俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京，随后飞往爱尔兰都柏林会见乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基。
Kushner said he and US envoy Steve Witkoff will travel to Moscow on Thursday to meet with President Vladimir Putin, then fly to Dublin, Ireland, to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
乌梅罗夫表示，基辅代表团预计将于周三晚些时候会见欧洲各国政府、欧盟和北约的代表，这些代表身在阿联酋首都，但没有参加三方会谈。
Umerov said Kyiv’s delegation was expected to meet later on Wednesday with representatives of European governments, the European Union and Nato who were in the capital of the United Arab Emirates but did not attend the three-way talks.
莫斯科不希望欧洲国家参与直接谈判。这些国家对俄罗斯的行为以及俄罗斯在欧洲大陆的更大意图感到担忧。库什纳表示，莫斯科会谈的目标之一是争取让欧洲人加入谈判。
Moscow does not want European countries, which are concerned about Russia’s conduct and broader intentions on the continent, involved in the direct negotiations. Kushner said one of the goals of the Moscow meeting is to try to get Europeans added to the talks.
“乌克兰的首要任务是以有尊严的和平尽快结束战争，”泽连斯基在社交媒体上表示。“我们认为，欧洲必须在真正外交的每一个阶段都有代表参与。美国必须拥有强有力的立场，并对这场战争的源头——也就是俄罗斯——施加影响，这一点至关重要。”克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫表示，欧洲代表最终可能加入和平谈判，但他表示，欧洲目前的表态“并不表明他们有推动和平进程的任何意愿”。莫斯科抱怨欧洲正在为乌克兰提供资金和武器。
“Ukraine’s priority is to end the war as soon as possible with a dignified peace,” Zelensky said on social media. “We believe that Europe must be represented at every stage of real diplomacy. It is essential that the United States have a strong position and exert influence on the source of this war – that is Russia.”Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said European representatives could eventually join peace talks, but he said their current statements “don’t indicate any desire on their part to contribute to movement along the path towards peace”. Moscow complains that Europe is financing and supplying weaponry to Ukraine.
库什纳表示，乌克兰和俄罗斯都需要明确战后的安全安排。他说，欧洲国家、欧盟和北约必须参与这些讨论，以便就下一步行动达成共识。
Kushner said both Ukraine and Russia needed clarity on post-war security arrangements. He said European countries, the EU and Nato have to be involved in those discussions to build consensus on next steps.
乌克兰希望确保莫斯科不会再次入侵，欧盟官员已宣布，任何关于欧洲安全安排的讨论都只能在停火之后开始。欧洲许多人认为，将俄罗斯纳入这些计划是对普京的让步。普京曾将北约东扩描述为其安全面临的最大威胁之一。俄罗斯要求北约从与其接壤的边境撤军。
Ukraine wants to make sure Moscow does not invade again, and EU officials have declared that any discussions on Europe’s security arrangements could only start after a ceasefire. Many in Europe see the inclusion of Russia in those plans as a concession to Putin, who has described Nato’s eastward expansion as a top threat to its security. Russia has demanded that the alliance pull back its troops from its borders.
库什纳表示，会谈中讨论了俄罗斯的安全关切，并补充说，莫斯科方面被告知，需要提出不同的降级措施和方案，才能被欧洲接受。
Russia’s security concerns were discussed at the talks, Kushner said, adding that Moscow was told it needs to provide different de-escalation and proposals for them to be acceptable to Europe.
“现实情况是，双方目前互不信任。在这样一场冲突之后，这是意料之中的，”他说。
“The reality is there’s no trust right now between the sides. And that’s to be expected after a conflict like this,” he said.
自2月在日内瓦举行的上一次会晤以来，谈判的背景已经发生变化。特朗普政府现在不得不面对民主党人在美国中期选举后于明年1月接管美国国会的情况，他们可能会要求加大对乌克兰的支持。
The context of the negotiations has changed since the last meeting in February in Geneva. The Trump administration now has to reckon with Democrats taking over the US Congress in January following the US midterm elections, and they could demand more support for Ukraine.
此外，俄罗斯的战时经济正承受沉重压力，而乌克兰则因电网遭受毁灭性空袭而陷入困境。
Also, Russia’s wartime economy is under heavy strain, and Ukraine is reeling from devastating aerial attacks on its power grid.
