乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，美国及其他地区的政治变化正在为与俄罗斯讨论和平创造“机会之窗”。他是在都柏林与美国特使会谈前说这番话的。
Political changes in the US and elsewhere are creating a “window of opportunity” to discuss peace with Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said ahead of talks with US envoys in Dublin.
泽连斯基恳请欧洲盟友抓住这一转变，在多年分歧之后最终选出一名代表。
Zelenskyy implored his European allies to pounce on the shift and finally pick a representative after years of disagreement.
“我们需要选出谁来代表欧洲。我们需要选出欧洲的具体领导人，”泽连斯基周三在都柏林说，他在那里会见了爱尔兰总理米歇尔·马丁。“我们需要在11月完成这件事。”泽连斯基在周四欧洲政治峰会前向盟友施压，该峰会将汇集50多位欧洲及世界领导人。俄罗斯对乌克兰的全面战争已进入第五年，将主导讨论。
“We need to choose who will represent Europe. We need to choose concrete leaders of Europe,” Zelenskyy said Wednesday in Dublin, where he met Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin. “We need to do it in November.”Zelenskyy was leaning on his allies ahead of the European Political Summit on Thursday, which brings together over 50 European and world leaders. Russia’s all-out war in Ukraine, which is well into its fifth year, will dominate the discussion.
泽连斯基还将在都柏林会见美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和贾里德·库什纳，这两人将于周四在莫斯科与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京会谈。
Zelenskyy will also meet in Dublin with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, after they talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday.
这位乌克兰领导人主张，欧洲必须参与美国重启的与俄罗斯接触的努力。他说，在选民于近期中期选举中惩罚了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普一周后，美国正在发生“变化”。
The Ukrainian leader argued Europe must be involved in the revived American efforts to engage with Russia, saying “changes” were “underway” in the US a week after voters rebuked US President Donald Trump in recent midterm elections.
泽连斯基补充说，美方对欧洲参与会谈的态度正在转暖。“我们希望欧洲不要处于边缘，不要置身会谈之外，”他说。“我们希望他们下次能平等参与，因为那绝对公平。”然而，欧洲一直难以就谁应在与俄罗斯的任何和平谈判中代表整个欧洲大陆达成一致。
The Americans are warming to Europe being part of the talks, Zelenskyy added. “We want Europe to be not there on the margins, not on the sidelines of the meetings,” he said. “We want them to participate on equal footing the next time because that’s absolutely just.”Europe, however, has struggled to agree on who should speak for the entire continent in any peace talks with Russia.
德国、法国和英国等大国有时会牵头，而挪威和芬兰的领导人最近建立了自己与普京的直接渠道。欧洲理事会主席安东尼奥·科斯塔甚至代表欧盟向莫斯科试探。
Big powers like Germany, France and the UK have at times taken the lead, while the leaders of Norway and Finland recently created their own direct channel to Putin. European Council President Antonio Costa even put out feelers to Moscow on behalf of the European Union.
这种混乱在周四都柏林峰会前引发了摩擦。欧盟领导人还将于周五在都柏林举行自己的会议。
The confusion has prompted friction ahead of Thursday’s summit in Dublin. EU leaders will also gather for their own meeting in Dublin on Friday.
意大利总理焦尔吉娅·梅洛尼本周早些时候在致科斯塔的一封信中表示：“我确信，我们都意识到，通过塑造欧洲行动不协调的形象，我们恰恰是在帮那些希望这场战争继续下去的人。我认为这是不可接受的。”泽连斯基坚持认为，如果各方都参与进来，谈判到2027年初就可能取得进展。首先，美国于周二和周三在阿布扎比主持了为期两天的俄乌会谈。
“I am convinced that we all realize how, by projecting the image of Europe acting in an uncoordinated manner, we are simply playing into the hands of those who want this war to continue,” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said in a letter to Costa earlier this week. “I think this is unacceptable.”Zelenskyy insisted that if everyone is involved, negotiations could show progress by the beginning of 2027. To start, the US held two days of talks between Russia and Ukraine on Tuesday and Wednesday in Abu Dhabi.
威特科夫和库什纳现在将前往莫斯科，泽连斯基表示，他预计这两位特使将在会晤期间提出欧洲参与的问题。
Witkoff and Kushner will now travel to Moscow, where Zelenskyy said he expects the envoys to raise the issue of European participation during their meeting.
库什纳周三对记者表示，他将“努力在我们讨论过的一些问题上取得更多进展，因为我们看到了一些突破口和一些机会”。库什纳补充说，领土问题仍是谈判中最艰难的部分，不过双方正在讨论一项大规模的换囚安排。泽连斯基表示，换囚人数可能多达1200人。
Kushner on Wednesday told reporters he will “try to make more progress on some of the issues that we discussed, because we see some openings and some opportunities there.”Territorial issues remain the hardest part of the negotiations, though the two sides are discussing a substantial exchange of prisoners, Kushner added. Zelenskyy said the exchange could include up to 1,200 prisoners.
在特朗普削减乌克兰急需的援助、取消对俄罗斯柴油的制裁并公开嘲讽北约和欧洲安全架构之后，欧洲人被迫基本上独自面对重新崛起的俄罗斯。
Europeans have been forced to face a resurgent Russia mostly alone, after Trump cut much-needed aid to Ukraine, dropped sanctions on Russian diesel and openly derided NATO and the European security architecture.
阿布扎比的三方会谈是自2月以来的首次，当时特朗普将注意力转向了他与伊朗的战争。在结束这场二战以来欧洲最大冲突的谈判中，俄罗斯和乌克兰在领土和安全保障等许多问题上仍相距甚远。
The trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi are the first since February, when Trump shifted focus to his war with Iran. Russia and Ukraine remain far apart on many issues including on territory and security guarantees in the negotiations to end Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II.
欧洲的注意力正转向如何为乌克兰提供2027年及以后的资金。随着基辅的军事和财政需求上升，欧盟国家开始考虑向乌克兰提供另一笔贷款。
Europe’s attention is turning to how to fund Ukraine into 2027 and beyond. EU countries are starting to consider another loan for Ukraine as Kyiv’s military and financial needs rise.
官员们再次在探索联合借款——类似欧盟为乌克兰争取的90 亿欧元（约99.8 亿美元）贷款，以覆盖2026年和2027年的支出。彭博社此前报道，这一途径仍是最可能的选择，因为比利时继续阻挠使用俄罗斯被冻结的央行资产的努力。
Officials are once again exploring jointly borrow money — similar to what the EU did to secure a €90 billion ($99.8 billion) loan for Ukraine to cover 2026 and 2027. That path remains the most likely option as Belgium continues to stymie efforts to use Russia’s frozen central bank assets, Bloomberg previously reported.
乌克兰表示，明年的预算缺口可能达到70 亿欧元，而欧盟在寻找其他愿意介入的国家方面一直举步维艰。
Ukraine has said its budgetary gap could hit €70 billion next year, and the EU has struggled to find other countries willing to step in.
