俄羅斯批評烏克蘭過渡政權"獨裁"

Russia denounced Ukraine’s interim leaders as dictators and blasted the western governments that it said helped bring them to power, in a sign that the toppling of Viktor Yanukovich as president is triggering a regional stand-off.

俄羅斯指責烏克蘭過渡政權的領導人是一羣獨裁者，並對其所稱的幫助他們獲得權力的西方國家予以嚴厲批評。有跡象表明，維克多•亞努科維奇(Viktor Yanukovich)總統的倒臺可能引發地區對峙。

The Russian foreign ministry claimed Ukraine’s new leadership was infringing on the human rights of Russians and other minorities in Ukraine. “This is headed towards the suppression of dissent in several regions of Ukraine by dictatorial and sometimes almost terrorist means,” the ministry stated.

俄羅斯外交部稱，烏克蘭的新領導層正在侵犯烏境內俄羅斯和其他少數民族的人權。“局勢正走向利用獨裁、有時近乎恐怖主義的手段來鎮壓烏克蘭一些地區的異見，”俄羅斯外交部表示。

Dmitry Medvedev, the prime minister, said Moscow’s bailout for Kiev would remain on hold until a “normal, legitimate government” was in office.

俄羅斯總理德米特里•梅德韋傑夫(Dmitry Medvedev)表示，俄羅斯將暫不對基輔方面提供緊急援助，直到一個“正常、合法的政府”上臺執政。

“If you consider people who plough Kiev in black masks and with Kalashnikovs a government, then we will have difficulty working with such a government.”

他說：“如果你認爲那些帶着黑麪罩、手持卡拉什尼科夫（即AK-47突擊步槍——譯者注）在基輔街頭橫行霸盜的人是政府，那麼我們很難同這樣的政府打交道。”

Russia’s furious statements came as Ukraine’s new authorities intensified their hunt for Mr Yanukovich, who has not been seen since Friday, and as tensions rose in Crimea, the Russia-friendly peninsula on the Black Sea.

俄羅斯憤怒表態之際，烏克蘭新政權加緊對亞努科維奇的緝捕，他自上週五以來一直下落不明。與此同時，黑海沿岸親俄羅斯的克里米亞半島緊張局勢上升。

Ukraine’s parliament voted to remove Mr Yanukovich on Saturday after a crackdown on three months of anti-government protests had left more than 70 people dead.

上週六，烏議會投票決定撤銷亞努科維奇的總統職務。此前，政府對持續3個月的反政府示威進行了鎮壓，造成70餘人死亡。

EU officials said they were ever more concerned at how Russia would react and were reining in some of their more aggressive diplomatic and financial efforts.

歐盟(EU)官員表示，他們越來越關注俄羅斯會如何反應，並將收斂歐方一些較爲咄咄逼人的外交和財政努力。

The European Commission, for example, said it would await a “legitimate government” to be produced after May’s elections before reviving talks over its integration treaty with Kiev.

例如，歐盟委員會(European Commission)表示，在烏克蘭5月份選舉產生“合法政府”之前，它將暫停與基輔方面有關入盟的談判。
