欧盟外交政策负责人卡娅·卡拉斯周五声称，俄罗斯不希望在与乌克兰的谈判桌上有“强有力的”欧洲声音，但坚称莫斯科无权决定谁在欧洲参与结束乌克兰战争的和平谈判中代表欧洲。据法新社报道，卡拉斯在抵达都柏林出席欧盟峰会会谈后对记者说：“他们不想要对方有任何强有力的人，因为他们想强行推动自己的最大要求。”
European Union's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Friday claimed that Russia did not want a “strong” European voice at the negotiating table with Ukraine, but asserted that Moscow had no say in deciding who represents Europe in peace talks to end the Ukraine war.“They don't want anybody strong on the other side because they want to push through their maximum demands,” Kallas told reporters after arriving at EU summit talks in Dublin, AFP reported.
据路透社报道，卡拉斯表示她知道俄罗斯不希望她坐在谈判桌旁，但她补充说，她代表的是所有27个成员国，而非以个人身份发言。她说，欧盟不能随便派任何一个人担任这一角色，并补充说已有相应的机制安排。克里姆林宫周五曾表示，欧洲必须表现出愿意为乌克兰和平进程做出贡献，然后才能决定是否让其加入。
Kallas said she knew Russia did not want her at the table, but added that she spoke on behalf of all 27 member states rather than in a personal capacity, news agency Reuters reported. She said EU could not just send any person for the role, adding that there were institutions in place for the same. The Kremlin had on Friday said Europe must show it is ready to contribute to the Ukraine peace process before a decision is made on letting them join.
“一旦我们了解他们的真实意图以及为和平进程做出贡献的准备程度，那么就有可能就扩大形式举行乌克兰问题解决方案对话做出决定，”据路透社报道，克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫说。此前一天，美国特使史蒂夫·维特科夫表示，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京已同意让欧洲代表参加下一轮乌克兰和平谈判。维特科夫是在本周于阿布扎比举行的为期两天的俄罗斯、乌克兰和美国三方会谈后宣布这一消息的。
“Once we understand their genuine intention and readiness to contribute to the peace process, then it will be possible to make a decision on holding dialogue on a Ukrainian settlement in an expanded format,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to news agency Reuters. This comes a day after US envoy Steve Witkoff said Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to let European representatives join the next round of Ukraine peace talks. This was announced by Witkoff after two days of trilateral talks involving Russia, Ukraine and US this week in Abu Dhabi.
这些会议是九个月来俄乌之间首次由美国斡旋的直接谈判。欧盟的卡拉斯警告提防俄罗斯的“陷阱”，呼吁“首先”停火卡拉斯周五警告说，欧洲在坐到结束乌克兰战争谈判的桌旁时，绝不能走进俄罗斯的“陷阱”。“首先我们需要停火。
These meetings were the first direct US-mediated negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in nine months.EU's Kallas warns against Russia's ‘traps’, calls for ceasefire ‘first’Kallas warned Friday that Europe must not walk into Russian “traps” as it takes a seat at the table in talks to end the Ukraine war.“First we need a ceasefire. If we start to talk about what Russia is asking regarding the security architecture, we actually walk into the traps that Russia is setting us, which is that we divert the attention away from that there is no ceasefire,” Kallas said, according to AFP.
据法新社报道，卡拉斯表示：“如果我们开始谈论俄罗斯在安全架构方面的要求，我们实际上就落入了俄罗斯给我们设下的陷阱，那就是把注意力从没有停火这件事上转移开。”与此同时，欧盟领导人乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩主张，欧洲将捍卫自身利益，并在谈判中支持乌克兰。法新社援引冯德莱恩的话说：“欧洲参与和平谈判以维护我们的利益，同时也支持乌克兰，我认为这是不言而喻的。”
Meanwhile's EU chief Ursula von der Leyen asserted that Europe would defend its interests and back Ukraine in the negotiations. “I think it is self-explanatory that Europe is included in the peace talks to safeguard our interests, but also to support Ukraine,” AFP cited von der Leyen as saying.
另见 | 普京曾有四个击败乌克兰的计划。如今只剩两个。欧洲乌克兰问题特使的不确定性尽管欧洲在未来的谈判中获得了谈判桌旁的席位，但其代表形式仍不确定，究竟是一个代表团还是一位特使。虽然有人提出了欧盟高级官员和政界人士的人选，但各方尚未就此达成共识。据美联社报道，随着欧盟27国领导人在都柏林举行峰会，这一议题据称正在讨论之中。

Uncertainty over Europe's envoy for Ukraine talksWhile Europe has been given a seat at the negotiating table for future talks, there is still uncertainty over its representation, and whether it would be a delegation or a single envoy. While senior EU officials and politicians have been suggested, the constituents have not yet reached consensus in the matter. The topic is reportedly being debated upon as leaders from the 27-nation EU meet at a summit in Dublin, the Associated Press reported.
据彭博社报道，多数领导人对特使人选避而不答，但其他人则支持欧盟最高外交官卡拉斯或欧洲理事会主席安东尼奥·科斯塔。美联社报道称，这一决定将意义重大，因为欧洲担心美国支持的进程可能使欧洲被边缘化。鉴于乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普之间的关系近期恶化，乌克兰也广泛认同欧洲盟友支持的重要性。
While most leaders avoided answering with certainty on the envoy, others backed EU's top diplomat Kallas or European Council president Antonio Costa, Bloomberg reported. The decision would be significant, given European concerns that a US-backed process could leave them sidelined, AP reported. Ukraine, too, is in broad agreement on the importance of support from its European allies, given the recent deterioration in ties between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump.
特朗普最近在俄罗斯问题上作出让步，达成一项柴油协议并豁免部分与俄罗斯相关的能源制裁，这导致欧洲国家对特朗普政府产生不信任。爱尔兰总理米歇尔·马丁抵达都柏林参加欧盟峰会会谈时强调确定特使的重要性，他说：“我希望今天的讨论能就此带来明确结果。在我看来，这需要在一两周内最终决定。”法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙进一步表示：“没有欧洲人，就没有对乌克兰的支持。美国的支持已经不复存在。”
Trump's latest breaks to Russia in the form of a diesel deal and the waiving of some Russia-related energy sanctions has led to distrust for the Trump administration among the European nations. Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin stressed on the importance of deciding upon an envoy when he arrives for EU summit talks in Dublin, saying, “I would hope that today’s discussions bring clarity around this. It needs to be, in my view, finally decided upon within the next week or two.”French President Emmanuel Macron further said, “Without Europeans, there is no support for Ukraine. There is no more US support.”
