Russia's Medvedev says Europe is trying to escalate Ukraine conflict after Trump win
MOSCOW, Nov 12 (Reuters) -Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev accused European leaders on Tuesday of seeking to dangerously escalate the Ukraine conflict following the re-election of former U.S. President Donald Trump.俄罗斯前总统德米特里·梅德韦杰夫周二指责欧洲领导人在美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普连任后,试图危险地升级乌克兰冲突。Medvedev, a senior security official, wrote on Telegram that European politicians were aiming to "push the conflict with Russia into an irreversible phase" while they could and warned against allowing Kyiv to use Western long-range missiles to fire at targets inside Russia.俄罗斯乌克兰高级安全官员梅德韦杰夫在Telegram上写道,欧洲政客的目标是“将与俄罗斯的冲突推向不可逆转的阶段”,同时他们可以并警告不要允许乌克兰使用西方远程导弹向俄罗斯境内的目标开火。Medvedev dismissed what he called "ultimatums" issued by German opposition leader and possible next chancellor Friedrich Merz about Ukraine's use of such weapons as "electioneering in nature".梅德韦杰夫驳斥了德国反对党领袖、潜在的的下一任总理弗里德里希·默茨就乌克兰使用此类武器发出的“最后通牒”,称其为“本质上是为了竞选”。"It is clear that these missiles are not capable of changing anything significantly in the course of military operations", he said.他说:“很明显,这些导弹在军事行动中无法改变任何事情”。French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer reaffirmed their support for Kyiv during talks in Paris on Monday, while France's foreign minister urged Ukraine's allies not to prejudge how Trump will handle the conflict.法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙和英国首相基尔·斯塔默周一在巴黎举行的会谈中重申了他们对乌克兰的支持,而法国外交部长敦促乌克兰的盟友不要预先判断特朗普将如何处理冲突。"Generally speaking, it is surprising to what extent the current generation of European politicians wants to drag the war into their territory", Medvedev said.梅德韦杰夫说:“总的来说,令人惊讶的是,当代欧洲政客在多大程度上希望将战争拖入他们的领土”。Medvedev previously said that Trump's win would likely be bad news for Ukraine. Trump, a Republican, has repeatedly criticised the scale of Western aid to Kyiv and has promised to end the conflict swiftly, without explaining how.梅德韦杰夫此前曾表示,特朗普的胜利对乌克兰来说可能是个坏消息。共和党人特朗普一再批评西方对乌克兰的援助规模,并承诺迅速结束冲突,但没有解释如何结束。The Kremlin dismissed on Monday reports that Trump had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin in recent days as "pure fiction."克里姆林宫周一驳斥了特朗普最近几天与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京通话的报道,称其为“纯粹是虚构”。
