芬兰军方表示，周三在芬兰湾探测到“一次打击”击中一艘俄罗斯军舰，与此同时，乌克兰向俄罗斯西北部列宁格勒州发射了成波无人机。
Finland’s military says it detected “a strike” on a Russian warship in the Gulf of Finland on Wednesday, as Ukraine sent waves of drones towards Russia’s northwestern Leningrad region.
此次打击发生之际，俄罗斯和乌克兰代表团在阿布扎比举行自2月以来首次美国斡旋的会谈。这是波罗的海罕见发生的针对俄罗斯海军舰艇的打击。
The strike came as Russian and Ukrainian delegations met in Abu Dhabi for their first United States-brokered talks since February. It was a rare strike on a Russian navy vessel in the Baltic Sea
那么，乌克兰为何将战事延伸至波罗的海，为何偏偏选择现在？以下是目前已知情况：发生了什么？
So why is Ukraine taking the war to the Baltic, and why now? Here’s what we know: What happened?
芬兰国防军发言人通过电子邮件向路透社发表声明称：“芬兰国防军探测到……芬兰湾区域一艘俄罗斯军舰遭到打击，并一直在监测事态发展。”
“The Finnish Defence Forces detected… a strike on a Russian warship in the Gulf of Finland area and has monitored the development of the situation,” a military spokesperson told the Reuters news agency in an emailed statement.
该发言人表示，芬兰不面临任何直接军事威胁，但拒绝透露事件发生的具体地点、时间，或探测手段。
The spokesperson said Finland was not under any immediate military threat, but declined to say where or when the incident happened, or how it had been detected.
目前尚不清楚是否造成人员伤亡。爱沙尼亚媒体报道称，该舰艇是一艘俄罗斯小型海军舰船，事后已返回圣彼得堡。
It was not immediately clear whether there were any casualties. Estonian media reported that the vessel was a small Russian navy ship that later returned to St Petersburg.
周三，无人机还导致俄罗斯乌斯特-卢加港区发生火灾，造成三名工人受伤，列宁格勒州州长亚历山大·德罗兹杰科表示。
On Wednesday, drones also caused a fire in the Russian port area of Ust-Luga, injuring three workers, regional Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko said.
爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚和立陶宛因无人机闯入其领空，要求民众就地掩蔽，北约紧急起飞战机应对。为何地点重要？
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania told citizens to take shelter as drones strayed into their airspace, and NATO scrambled warplanes in response. Why is the location important?
芬兰湾是波罗的海伸向东部、直抵圣彼得堡的一条狭窄水道，北邻芬兰、南邻爱沙尼亚，两国均为北约成员。位于芬兰湾南岸的乌斯特-卢加是俄罗斯石油和粮食出口的关键港口。
The Gulf of Finland is a narrow arm of the Baltic Sea between Finland and Estonia, both NATO members, that extends east to St Petersburg. Ust-Luga, on its southern shore, is a key export outlet for Russian oil and grain.
多架飞往列宁格勒州的乌克兰无人机偏入芬兰及波罗的海三国领空，引发外界担忧战火蔓延至与俄罗斯接壤的北约国家。
Several Ukrainian drones deployed towards the Leningrad region have strayed into the airspace of Finland and the Baltic states, raising fears that the war is spilling over into NATO countries that border Russia.
芬兰国防部长安蒂·哈卡宁表示，赫尔辛基已就此次打击向基辅提出交涉。
Finland’s Defence Minister Antti Hakkanen said Helsinki had raised the strike with Kyiv.
芬兰广播公司Yle援引他的话说：“我们这次，稍早前也曾告诉乌克兰人，这段位于芬兰和爱沙尼亚之间的芬兰湾狭窄水域，在环境安全和民用航运安全方面有多么敏感。”
“We have told the Ukrainians this time, and a little earlier too, how sensitive this narrow stretch of the Gulf of Finland, right between us and Estonia, is in terms of environmental safety and the safety of civilian shipping,” he said, according to Finnish broadcaster Yle.
但他表示，周边地区的外溢效应源于乌克兰的防御性战斗，并向公众保证芬兰周边的波罗的海依然安全。他说：“你们依然可以安心巡航。”
But he said the spillover effects in the surrounding region stem from Ukraine’s defensive fight and assured the public the Baltic Sea around Finland was still safe. “You can still cruise with peace of mind,” he said.
欧洲政策分析中心跨大西洋防务与安全项目研究员伊利亚·季姆琴科告诉半岛电视台，这次袭击被认为是乌克兰武装部队首次在民用航运通行的波罗的海区域袭击俄罗斯军舰。
Ilya Timtchenko, a fellow with the Transatlantic Defense and Security Program at the Center for European Policy Analysis, told Al Jazeera the strike was thought to be the first by Ukrainian forces on a Russian ship in an area of the Baltic used by civilian traffic.
他对半岛电视台说：“乌克兰及其欧洲盟友表明，他们在抵御俄罗斯威胁的问题上立场一致。”
“Ukraine and its European allies are showing that they are unified in their approach to fighting off the Russian threat,” he told Al Jazeera.
两艘美国海军无人水面舰艇（USV）无人艇在北约演习期间驶经波兰格丁尼亚海岸 乌克兰方面说了什么？
Two US Navy Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) drone boats navigate during a NATO exercise off the coast of Gdynia, Poland What has Ukraine said?
据Yle报道，乌克兰国家安全局称，作为一次特别行动的一部分，它袭击了“布扬-M”级小型导弹舰“纳罗-福明斯克”号。
Ukraine’s Security Service said it attacked the Buyan-M-class small missile ship, Naro-Fominsk, as part of a special operation, according to Yle.
与此同时，乌克兰总参谋部称，对乌斯特-卢加的袭击损坏了五座燃油罐。
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s General Staff said the strike on Ust-Luga had damaged five fuel tanks.
它在Telegram上报告说：“根据初步信息，无人机袭击港口石油基础设施导致储罐网络受损最严重。”
“According to preliminary information, as a result of drone strikes on the port’s oil infrastructure, the tank network suffered the most damage,” it reported on Telegram.
周四，乌克兰总统泽连斯基在爱尔兰会见美国特使威特科夫和库什纳，并赞扬了他们的斡旋努力。正在进行哪些谈判？
On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Ireland and praised their mediation efforts. What talks are ongoing?
俄罗斯、乌克兰和美国周二至周三在阿布扎比举行了为期两天的谈判。上一次此类谈判发生在今年2月。
Russia, Ukraine and the US held two days of talks in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday and Wednesday. The last such talks took place in February this year.
除达成交换大量战俘的协议外，谈判未取得突破。俄罗斯官方塔斯社称，交换应在两到三周内进行。领土问题仍是主要分歧点。
The talks produced no breakthrough, apart from an agreement to swap a large number of prisoners. Russia’s state-run TASS news agency said the exchange should happen in two to three weeks. Territory remains the main sticking point.
乌克兰要求俄罗斯退回两国原有边界，而俄罗斯总统普京希望控制乌克兰顿巴斯地区的全部领土。莫斯科的要求还超出了乌克兰范围，聚焦于北约的扩张问题。
Ukraine wants Russia pushed back to the original border between the two countries, while Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to control all of Ukraine’s Donbas region. Moscow’s demands reach beyond Ukraine as well, focusing also on the expansion of NATO.
德国《图片报》周五报道，俄罗斯谈判代表在阿布扎比提出，要求2023年加入北约的芬兰退出该联盟，并禁止北约在爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚和立陶宛设立军事基地。
Russian negotiators proposed in Abu Dhabi that Finland, which joined the alliance in 2023, leave NATO and that the alliance be barred from having military bases in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the German newspaper Bild reported on Friday.
《图片报》报道，这些非正式提议已与欧洲代表分享，还呼吁作出安排，保障黑海和波罗的海的航行自由。
The informal proposals, shared with European representatives, also called for arrangements to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, Bild reported.
周四，威特科夫和库什纳在莫斯科会见普京，双方同意继续谈判，随后特使们在爱尔兰会见了泽连斯基。乌克兰为何在谈判期间实施袭击？为了持续向莫斯科施压。
On Thursday, Witkoff and Kushner met Putin in Moscow, where the two sides agreed to continue the talks, before the envoys met Zelenskyy in Ireland. Why has Ukraine carried out attacks during talks? To keep up the pressure on Moscow.
“基辅继续同时展示两点：它愿意谈判，且拥有实力地位，”季姆琴科说。“在任何和平谈判并行的情况下，乌克兰很可能继续打击俄罗斯的军事设施和为俄罗斯战争机器提供资金的来源。”乌克兰多次袭击俄罗斯炼油厂、港口和能源基础设施，以提高莫斯科战争努力的经济成本。
“Kyiv continues to demonstrate two points simultaneously: That it is willing to negotiate and that it has a position of strength,” Timtchenko said. “In parallel with any peace talks, Ukraine will likely continue to strike Russia’s military and the sources of funding for Russia’s war machine.”Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Russian refineries, ports, and energy infrastructure to raise the economic cost of Moscow’s war effort.
但这些袭击招致了华盛顿的批评。特朗普指责乌克兰袭击俄罗斯能源基础设施导致柴油价格上涨，上个月他豁免了国会以压倒性多数通过的对俄制裁。
But the strikes have drawn criticism from Washington. Trump has blamed Ukraine’s attacks on Russian energy infrastructure for rising diesel prices, and last month he waived sanctions on Russia that Congress had overwhelmingly approved.
季姆琴科说，袭击仍给基辅带来了筹码。“远程打击大大增强了乌克兰在谈判桌上的筹码，这也是俄罗斯官员不断提及它们的原因，”他说。莫斯科如何回应？俄罗斯未就据报对其军舰的袭击公开置评。
Timtchenko said the strikes still gave Kyiv leverage. “Long-range strikes considerably strengthen Ukraine’s hand at the negotiating table, which is why Russian officials keep bringing them up,” he said. How has Moscow responded? Russia has not commented publicly on the reported strike on its warship.
德罗兹坚科州长表示，周三的袭击中，列宁格勒州上空击落了150架无人机，袭击还切断了一座发电站的供电。
Governor Drozdenko said 150 drones were shot down over the Leningrad region during Wednesday’s attack, which also cut off a power station.
“莫斯科可能会发表强硬言辞，并试图指责乌克兰破坏和谈，”季姆琴科说。“然而，这并不新鲜，因为俄罗斯以前已经这样做过无数次了。
“Moscow might voice harsh rhetoric and try to blame the Ukrainians for undermining the peace talks,” Timtchenko said. “However, this is nothing new, since Russia has done this numerous times before.
“尽管莫斯科假装寻求结束战争，但俄罗斯继续袭击乌克兰的军事目标、关键基础设施和平民，”他补充道。
“Despite Moscow’s pretence of seeking an end to the war, Russia continues to strike Ukraine’s military, critical infrastructure, and civilians,” he added.
