俄高官警告美國(guó)武裝烏克蘭計(jì)劃

A key security adviser to Russian president VladimirPutin has accused the US of seeking to drag Russiadirectly into war inUkraine through a possible plan toarm Kiev, underlining the seriousness with whichMoscow would greet such a move.

俄羅斯總統(tǒng)弗拉基米爾•普京(Vladimir Putin)的一名主要安全顧問(wèn)指責(zé)美國(guó)可能通過(guò)武裝烏克蘭的計(jì)劃，試圖將俄羅斯直接拖入烏克蘭的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，此言凸顯了莫斯科方面將強(qiáng)勢(shì)回應(yīng)美國(guó)軍援烏克蘭的舉動(dòng)。

“The Americans are trying to draw the RussianFederation into an interstate military conflict, toachieve regime change through the events in Ukraine and to ultimately dismember ourcountry,” said Nikolai Patrushev, head of the Kremlin’s security council.

“美國(guó)人試圖把俄羅斯聯(lián)邦拖入一場(chǎng)國(guó)家間的軍事沖突，試圖通過(guò)烏克蘭發(fā)生的事件促成政權(quán)變更，最終瓦解我們的國(guó)家，”俄羅斯聯(lián)邦安全會(huì)議(Security Council of the Russian Federation, 簡(jiǎn)稱SCRF)秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)尼古拉•帕特魯舍夫(Nikolai Patrushev)表示。

 

 

The warning represented Moscow’s first high-level comments on the intensifying debate inWashington about supplying lethal weapons to a Ukrainian militaryat war with Russia-backedseparatists.

對(duì)于是否要向正在和得到俄方支持的分裂分子作戰(zhàn)的烏克蘭軍方提供致命性武器，華盛頓展開(kāi)的辯論日趨激烈，帕特魯舍夫的警告代表莫斯科高層首次對(duì)這一事態(tài)做出評(píng)論。

The start of such arms supplies would be “one more confirmation that the US is a directparticipant in the conflict,” Mr Patrushev added, warning that if Washington took this step,the conflict would “escalate only further”.

此類軍援將是“美國(guó)直接參與這場(chǎng)沖突的又一明證，”帕特魯舍夫補(bǔ)充道。他警告稱，如果美國(guó)采取這一舉措，這場(chǎng)沖突“只會(huì)進(jìn)一步升級(jí)”。

Mr Patrushev is one of Mr Putin’s closest associates — a former head of the FSB intelligenceagency that succeeded the KGB, and one of the security officials with whose help the presidentruns the country.

帕特魯舍夫是普京最親密的副手之一，也是幫助普京統(tǒng)治國(guó)家的安全官員之一。他曾擔(dān)任俄羅斯聯(lián)邦安全局(FSB)局長(zhǎng)。FSB的前身是克格勃(KGB)。

His comments add to an accelerating drumbeat of bellicose warnings that have convincedmany in Moscow the Russian leadership is preparing the country for a wider war. But othersinterpret the ratcheting up of rhetoric as a bluff to strengthen Moscow’s hand in ongoingpeace talks.

他的評(píng)論給俄羅斯方面越來(lái)越頻繁的帶有挑釁意味的警告又添一筆，這些警告讓莫斯科許多人相信，俄羅斯領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層正在讓舉國(guó)上下為一場(chǎng)更大范圍的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)做好準(zhǔn)備。但另一些人的解讀是，加大措辭的尖銳程度不過(guò)是虛張聲勢(shì)，目的是在正在進(jìn)行的和談中為莫斯科爭(zhēng)取更有利的條件。

Dmitri Trenin, head of the Moscow Carnegie Center, an arm of the US think-tank, is in theformer camp. A move by the US to supply the Ukrainian army with lethal weapons would beviewed as “a real game changer” by the Russian government, he said.

美國(guó)智庫(kù)卡內(nèi)基中心(Carnegie Center)的莫斯科分支負(fù)責(zé)人德米特里•特列寧(Dmitri Trenin)同意前一種觀點(diǎn)。他表示，在俄羅斯政府看來(lái)，如果美國(guó)向?yàn)蹩颂m軍隊(duì)提供致命性武器，那將“真正改變游戲規(guī)則”。
