俄罗斯称特朗普-普京峰会筹备工作正在进行中
【中美创新时报2025 年 2 月 23 日编译讯】（记者温友平编译）俄罗斯副外长周六表示，唐纳德·特朗普总统和俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京的面对面会晤正在筹备中。这标志着西方明显脱离了因乌克兰战争而孤立莫斯科的努力。美联社对此作了下述报道。
谢尔盖·里亚布科夫在接受俄罗斯国家媒体采访时表示，普京-特朗普峰会可能涉及全球问题的广泛会谈，而不仅仅是乌克兰战争。
“问题在于开始朝着实现我们两国关系正常化的方向迈进，找到解决最严重、最危险局势的方法，乌克兰就是其中之一，”他说。
但他表示，组织此类会晤的努力尚处于初期阶段，要实现这一目标，需要“最密集的筹备工作”。
里亚布科夫补充说，美国和俄罗斯特使可能在未来两周内会面，为高级官员进一步会谈铺平道路。
周二，在沙特阿拉伯会晤的俄罗斯和美国代表同意开始努力结束乌克兰战争并改善外交和经济关系，这是特朗普领导下的美国外交政策的一次大转变。美国高级官员暗示，乌克兰将不得不放弃加入北约和保留被俄罗斯占领的 20% 领土的目标。
会晤结束后，美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥告诉美联社，双方大体同意追求三个目标：恢复各自大使馆的人员配备；组建一支高级团队支持乌克兰和平谈判；探索建立更紧密的关系和经济合作。
然而，他强调，俄罗斯外长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫以及其他俄罗斯和美国高级官员出席的此次会谈标志着对话的开始，还需要做更多的工作。拉夫罗夫则称赞这次会议“非常有用”。
此次沙特会议没有乌克兰官员出席，此次会议正值俄罗斯军队人数增加，乌克兰陷入困境，但正在缓慢但稳步地失去优势，而俄罗斯军队的数量正在增加，而莫斯科对这个小邻国发动全面入侵已近三年。
乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示，由于基辅没有参加会谈，乌克兰不会接受任何结果，他还推迟了原定于上周三访问沙特阿拉伯的行程。欧洲盟友也表示担心自己被边缘化。
特朗普似乎淡化了对基辅的批评
特朗普周五似乎收回了之前错误地指责基辅挑起战争的言论，但坚称泽连斯基和前总统乔·拜登应该做更多事情来与普京达成和解。
“俄罗斯发动了攻击，但他们不应该让他发动攻击，”他在接受福克斯新闻的布莱恩·基尔米德的电台采访时提到俄罗斯领导人时说道。
2022 年 2 月 24 日，俄罗斯军队越过边境，发动了一场全面入侵，普京试图通过谎称这是保护乌克兰东部俄语平民和阻止该国加入北约的必要手段来为入侵辩解。
周五晚些时候，特朗普在椭圆形办公室告诉记者，这场战争“对美国影响不大。它在海洋的另一边。它确实影响了欧洲。”
周六，特朗普承认俄罗斯确实入侵了乌克兰。“俄罗斯永远不会进去。他们出于很多原因而进去，造成了这么多人死亡，”特朗普在华盛顿郊区保守党政治行动会议上周六下午发表讲话时说道。
特朗普指出，他正在“处理”普京和泽连斯基的问题。
特朗普在谈到这场战争时说：“我认为这场战争会结束的。它必须结束。”
匈牙利总理维克托·奥尔班在乌克兰问题上的立场与欧洲主流截然不同，他似乎在周六呼应了特朗普政府最近的一些言论。他将匈牙利饱受战争蹂躏的邻国描述为俄罗斯和北约之间的“缓冲区”，并暗示布达佩斯可能会阻止基辅加入欧盟的努力。
乌克兰的欧洲盟友
周六，数千名挥舞着蓝黄相间的乌克兰国旗的人游行到俄罗斯驻伦敦大使馆，要求给予乌克兰更多支持，并在结束三年战争的谈判中占有一席之地。
抗议者高呼“特朗普，你不是朋友，你是乌克兰的叛徒”。组织者呼吁俄罗斯撤军并增加军事援助，以加强基辅的实力。
英国首相基尔·斯塔默将于下周访问华盛顿，重点讨论乌克兰问题。他强调，没有基辅的参与，就无法做出有关该国未来的任何决定。
总理办公室表示，斯塔默周六与泽连斯基通话，重申“英国坚定支持乌克兰，并致力于确保公正持久的和平，结束俄罗斯的非法战争”。
乌克兰的欧盟盟友似乎也支持这一立场，该国外交部长周五和周六举行了一系列双边通话，他说，这些通话旨在协调外交努力，因为华盛顿的立场非常不确定。根据安德里·西比哈的社交媒体帖子，他一直在与法国、西班牙、波兰、芬兰和波罗的海国家等国的高级外交官交谈。
“让普京成功将对欧洲和美国每个家庭的稳定和共同生活方式产生灾难性后果。绥靖的代价将由普通民众承担，”西比哈周六在 X 上的一篇帖子中说道。

Trump-Putin summit preparations are underway, Russia says

Preparations are underway for a face-to-face meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s deputy foreign minister said Saturday. It marked a clear departure from Western efforts to isolate Moscow over its war in Ukraine.
Speaking to Russian state media, Sergei Ryabkov said a possible Putin-Trump summit could involve broad talks on global issues, not just the war in Ukraine.
“The question is about starting to move toward normalizing relations between our countries, finding ways to resolve the most acute and potentially very, very dangerous situations, of which there are many, Ukraine among them,” he said.
But he said efforts to organize such a meeting are at an early stage, and that making it happen will require “the most intensive preparatory work.”
Ryabkov added that US and Russian envoys could meet within the next two weeks to pave the way for further talks among senior officials.
Russian and US representatives meeting in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday agreed to start working toward ending the war in Ukraine and improving their diplomatic and economic ties, an extraordinary about-face in US foreign policy under Trump. Senior US officials have suggested Ukraine will have to give up its goals of joining NATO and retaining the 20% of its territory seized by Russia.
After the meeting, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told The Associated Press the two sides agreed broadly to pursue three goals: to restore staffing at their respective embassies; to create a high-level team to support Ukraine peace talks; and to explore closer relations and economic cooperation.
He stressed, however, that the talks, which were attended by his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, and other senior Russian and US official, marked the beginning of a conversation, and more work needs to be done. Lavrov, for his part, hailed the meeting as “very useful.”
No Ukrainian officials were present at the Saudi meeting, which came as their beleaguered country is slowly but steadily losing ground against more numerous Russian troops, nearly three years after Moscow launched an all-out invasion of its smaller neighbor.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country would not accept any outcome from the talks since Kyiv didn’t take part, and he postponed his own trip to Saudi Arabia scheduled for last Wednesday. European allies have also expressed concerns that they are being sidelined.
Trump appears to soften criticism of Kyiv
Trump on Friday appeared to walk back his earlier comments that falsely blamed Kyiv for starting the war, but insisted that Zelenskyy and former President Joe Biden should have done more to come to terms with Putin.
“Russia attacked, but they shouldn’t have let him attack,” he said during a radio interview with Brian Kilmeade of Fox News, referring to the Russian leader.
Russia’s army crossed the border on Feb. 24, 2022, in an all-out invasion that Putin sought to justify by falsely saying it was needed to protect Russian-speaking civilians in eastern Ukraine and prevent the country from joining NATO.
Later on Friday, at the Oval Office, Trump told reporters that the war “doesn’t affect the United States very much. It’s on the other side of the ocean. It does affect Europe.”
On Saturday, Trump acknowledged that Russia did invade Ukraine. “Russia was never going to go in. And they went in because of a lot of reasons, and so many people are dead,” Trump said during a Saturday afternoon speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in suburban Washington.
Trump noted that he’s “dealing with” Putin and Zelenskyy.
“I think that thing is going to end,” Trump said of the war. “It’s got to end.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, whose position on Ukraine has differed sharply from the European mainstream, appeared to echo some of the Trump administration’s recent rhetoric on Saturday. He described Hungary’s war-ravaged neighbor as a “buffer zone” between Russia and NATO and implied Budapest might block Kyiv’s efforts to join the EU.
Ukraine’s European allies
Thousands of people waving blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flags marched to the Russian Embassy in London on Saturday, demanding Ukraine be given more support and a place at the table in talks to end the three-year war.
Protesters chanted “Trump you’re no friend, you’re a traitor to Ukraine.” Organizers called for the withdrawal of Russian troops and increased military aid to strengthen Kyiv’s hand.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is due to visit Washington next week for talks focused on Ukraine. He has stressed that no decisions about the country’s future can be made without Kyiv’s involvement.
Starmer spoke to Zelenskyy on Saturday and reiterated “the U.K.’s ironclad support for Ukraine and commitment to securing a just and enduring peace to bring an end to Russia’s illegal war,” the prime minister’s office said.
Ukraine’s EU allies also seemed to rally around it, as the country’s foreign minister on Friday and Saturday held a series of bilateral calls that he said aimed to coordinate diplomatic efforts at a time of intense uncertainty over Washington’s position. According to Andrii Sybiha’s social media posts, he has been speaking with top diplomats from France, Spain, Poland, Finland and the Baltic states, among others.
“Allowing Putin to succeed would have disastrous consequences for the stability and common way of life of every family in Europe and the U.S. The cost of appeasement will be paid by ordinary people,” Sybiha said in a post on X on Saturday.
He stressed, however, that the talks, which were attended by his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, and other senior Russian and US official, marked the beginning of a conversation, and more work needs to be done. Lavrov, for his part, hailed the meeting as “very useful.”
