普京譴責烏克蘭武裝入侵克里米亞
Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukrainian forces of a “criminal” incursion into Crimea, in an escalation of the conflict between the two countries that began when the peninsula was annexed by Moscow in early 2014.
俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾•普京(Vladimir Putin)譴責烏克蘭部隊對克里米亞實施“犯罪式”入侵，俄烏兩國間的衝突呈現升級之勢。這兩個國家是因俄在2014年初吞併克里米亞半島而陷入衝突的。
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Wednesday that it had foiled “terrorist acts” prepared by Ukrainian military intelligence against infrastructure in the territory, with the aim of disrupting Russia’s parliamentary elections due on 18 September. Kiev has denied the allegations.
俄聯邦安全局(FSB)週三表示，其已挫敗烏軍事情報機構籌劃的破壞克里米亞基礎設施的“恐怖主義行動”，並稱烏方這麼做是爲了破壞定於9月18日舉行的俄議會選舉。基輔方面否認了這些指控。
The FSB, the successor organisation to the KGB, claimed that one of its officers and a Russian soldier had been killed while dealing with the Ukrainian plot last weekend. The FSB said the soldier died in an exchange of fire with the Ukrainian army across the border that now separates Crimea from the rest of Ukraine — a level of fighting between the two militaries not seen even during the annexation. Moscow said it had arrested several people, including a Ukrainian military intelligence officer.
俄聯邦安全局稱，俄方一名軍官和一名士兵在上週末應對烏克蘭陰謀的行動中喪生。該局表示，這名士兵是在與邊界線（即如今的克里米亞與烏克蘭其餘部分的邊界）另外一邊的烏克蘭軍隊交火時喪生的。克里米亞被吞併以來，俄烏兩軍間的交火從未像此次這般激烈。俄方表示，它已逮捕了數人，包括一名烏克蘭軍事情報官。
Ukrainian intelligence denied an officer had been detained, and officials said Russian claims of a plot were unfounded. The Ukrainian defence ministry described the Russian allegations, which could not be independently verified, as “an attempt to justify redeployment and aggressive actions by military units of the Russian Federation on territory of the temporarily occupied peninsula”.
烏情報部門否認一名情報官已被逮捕。烏官員表示，俄有關烏方策劃了陰謀的說法是毫無根據的。烏國防部稱，俄方的指控是“企圖爲俄聯邦軍隊在臨時佔領的克里米亞半島上重新部署和採取強力行動找藉口”。
Kiev said it was committed to reclaiming Crimea and the Russian-backed breakaway region of Donbas through political, not military, means.
烏克蘭表示，它致力於通過政治而非軍事手段收回克里米亞、以及俄支持下欲與烏分離的頓巴斯(Donbas)地區。
In Moscow’s account of the alleged Ukrainian incursion, the FSB said it had confronted a group of “saboteurs” in the town of Armyansk, just south of the border with Ukraine, overnight on Saturday. It alleged that 20 home-made explosive devices, as well as a collection of weapons normally used by Ukraine’s special forces, had been found.
在莫斯科方面對所謂的烏方入侵行動的描述中，俄聯邦安全局表示，上週六晚，其在烏邊境以南的阿爾米安斯克(Armyansk)鎮遭遇一羣“破壞分子”。該局聲稱，其發現了20個自制爆炸裝置，以及一系列通常由烏特種部隊使用的武器。
The FSB said a second operation followed on Sunday night when Ukrainian troops had tried to ram their way into Crimea supported by armoured vehicles.
俄聯邦安全局表示，上週日晚烏方採取了第二次行動，烏軍隊企圖在裝甲戰車的支持下強行進入克里米亞。
