Source: Ukraine Must Cede Territory in Any Peace Deal, Rubio Says – The New York Times
美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥周一表示，作为结束战争的任何协议的一部分，乌克兰必须对俄罗斯自 2014 年以来占领的土地做出让步。 卢比奥在飞往沙特阿拉伯吉达与乌克兰高级官员会谈的途中发表了上述讲话。10 天前，特朗普总统与乌克兰总统泽连斯基在白宫举行了一场充满争议的会谈。特朗普政府在此次会谈谈崩后暂停了对乌克兰的军事援助，此次会谈的焦点是特朗普拒绝在涉及乌克兰自然资源的拟议协议中加入任何安全保障。卢比奥拒绝提供潜在协议的大纲，但明确表示双方的让步将是外交的核心。 鲁比奥说，“我认为双方需要达成共识，军事手段无法解决这一问题。俄罗斯无法征服整个乌克兰，而且显然乌克兰很难在任何合理的时间内迫使俄罗斯回到 2014 年的状态。” 鲁比奥补充说，在未来与莫斯科的谈判中，确定俄罗斯愿意做出什么让步至关重要。
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday that Ukraine would have to make concessions over land that Russia had taken since 2014 as part of any agreement to end the war.
Mr. Rubio spoke as he was flying to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for talks with senior Ukrainian officials, and 10 days after a contentious White House meeting between President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky. The Trump administration halted military aid to Ukraine after the blowup, which centered on Mr. Trump’s refusal to include any security guarantees in a proposed deal involving Ukraine’s natural resources.
Mr. Rubio declined to offer the outline of a potential agreement but made clear that concessions by both sides would be central to diplomacy.
“I think both sides need to come to an understanding that there’s no military solution to this situation,” Mr. Rubio said. “The Russians can’t conquer all of Ukraine, and obviously it’ll be very difficult for Ukraine in any reasonable time period to sort of force the Russians back all the way to where they were in 2014.”
Mr. Rubio added that it would be imperative in future talks with Moscow to determine what Russia was willing to concede.
