美国向七国集团盟友表示,它不会支持谴责俄罗斯今年对乌克兰最致命袭击的声明,因为它希望与莫斯科的谈判保持正常进行。
圣枝主日上午,乌克兰民众正在参加教堂礼拜,俄罗斯向乌克兰东北部城市苏梅发射了两枚短程弹道导弹,其中一枚装有集束弹药。总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示,袭击造成至少 35 人死亡,119 人受伤,其中包括儿童。
据熟悉外交通讯的人士透露,由于白宫和克里姆林宫之间的会谈仍在继续,唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府告诉盟友,它无法签署谴责袭击的声明,因为它“正在努力保留谈判和平的空间”。
知情人士还称,今年担任七国集团主席国的加拿大告诉盟友,如果没有美国的支持,就不可能推进这一声明。
美国驻伦敦大使馆拒绝发表评论。白宫、美国国家安全委员会和加拿大政府没有立即回应彭博新闻社的置评请求。
The US has told Group of Seven allies it won’t endorse a statement condemning Russia’s deadliest attack on Ukraine this year because it wants to keep negotiations with Moscow on track.
Russia fired two short-range ballistic missiles, including one equipped with cluster munitions, at Ukraine’s northeastern city of Sumy on Palm Sunday morning as Ukrainians attended church services. At least 35 people were killed and 119 injured in the attack, including children, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.
President Donald Trump’s administration told allies it couldn’t sign the statement denouncing the attack as it is “working to preserve the space to negotiate peace,” according to people familiar with diplomatic correspondence, as meetings continue between the White House and the Kremlin.
Canada, which holds the G-7 presidency this year, told allies that without US endorsement it would be impossible to go ahead with the statement, according to the same people.
The US Embassy in London declined to comment. The White House, US National Security Council and Canadian government did not immediately respond to Bloomberg News requests for comment.
