Putin suggests possibility of settlement to end war in Ukraine
Vladimir Putin mentioned a potential settlement to end his war in Ukraine on Friday while still claiming that his “special military operation” was going to plan.弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）周五提到了一项可能的解决方案，以结束他在乌克兰的战争，同时仍声称他的“特别军事行动”将继续进行。“The settlement process as a whole, yes, it will probably be difficult and will take some time. But one way or another, all participants in this process will have to agree with the realities that are taking shape on the ground,” the Russia president said during remarks at a press-conference in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.俄罗斯总统在吉尔吉斯斯坦比什凯克举行的新闻发布会上表示：“整个解决过程，是的，可能会很困难，需要一段时间。但无论如何，这个过程的所有参与者都必须同意当地正在形成的现实”。The remarks came just days after Putin appeared to be girding Russians for a protracted war in Ukraine, saying that his military operation could be a “long-term process”. Initially, Russian commanders expected the war would last just a matter of weeks before a Russian victory, according to plans captured at the beginning of the war. It is now in its 10th month and Russia has been forced to retreat for several months.就在几天前，普京似乎在为俄罗斯在乌克兰的持久战做好准备，并表示他的军事行动可能是一个“长期过程”。根据战争开始时掌握的计划，最初，俄罗斯指挥官预计战争将持续数周，俄罗斯才会取得胜利。目前已进入第10个月，俄罗斯被迫撤退（基辅、哈尔科夫等地）已达数月。Despite all evidence to the contrary, Putin claimed that his military operation was going to plan. “Everything is stable. There are no questions or problems there,” he said, adding that information was being given to the public transparently.尽管所有的证据看起来是相反的，普京声称他的军事行动是有计划的。“一切都很稳定。那里没有任何问题或问题，”他说，并补充说，信息是透明地提供给公众的。Those remarks came a day after Putin appeared to revel in recent Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.在普京发表上述言论的前一天，他似乎对俄罗斯最近对乌克兰民用基础设施的袭击感到高兴。Drinking what appeared to be sparkling wine, Putin vowed to keep battering Ukraine’s energy grid despite an outcry against the systematic attacks that have plunged millions into cold and darkness as winter sets in.普京喝着似乎是起泡酒，发誓要继续破坏乌克兰的能源网，尽管人们强烈反对随着冬天的到来，导致数百万人陷入寒冷和黑暗的系统性袭击。Speaking after an awards ceremony for “Heroes of Russia” at the Kremlin on Thursday, the president addressed a group of soldiers. Acknowledging the targeted attacks by Russia, Putin blamed Ukraine for initiating a trend of attacking civilian infrastructure, pointing to a blast on a key bridge between the Russian mainland and the annexed Crimean peninsula.周四，在克里姆林宫举行的“俄罗斯英雄”颁奖典礼后，俄罗斯总统向一群士兵发表讲话。普京承认俄罗斯有针对性的袭击，指责乌克兰发起了袭击民用基础设施的趋势，指出俄罗斯大陆与被吞并的克里米亚半岛之间的一座关键桥梁（应该指的是刻赤海峡大桥）发生爆炸。
