美國：俄羅斯能夠消除烏克蘭人道危機

Russia is urging the United Nations to take immediate action to deal with the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, but the U.S. says Russia has the means to stop it.

At an emergency Security Council meeting called by Russia Tuesday, Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said international humanitarian principles need to be followed in eastern Ukraine. He criticized the government in Kiyv for what he calls its violent repression of the region.

Deputy U.S. Ambassador Rosemary DiCarlo said Russia can stop all of it by halting the flow of fighters, weapons and money to the separatists. But she said Russia has instead doubled the number of troop battalions near the border and plans large-scale military exercises.

U.N. humanitarian official John Ging told the Council the humanitarian situation is getting worse in Ukraine especially because of violence in urban areas. He said many who have fled their homes do not register with officials, making it hard to assess relief needs.俄羅斯敦促聯合國立即採取措施，應對烏克蘭的人道危機，但美國認爲俄羅斯有能力消除這一危機。

星期二，聯合國安理會在俄羅斯的要求下舉行緊急會議。俄羅斯常駐聯合國代表丘爾金說，人道主義原則在烏克蘭東部必須得到遵守。他指責基輔政府在該地區實行暴力鎮壓。

美國常駐聯合國副代表迪卡洛說，俄羅斯只要不再爲分離分子運送戰鬥人員、武器和資金，就能完全消除人道危機。迪卡洛指出，俄羅斯不但不這樣做，反而把烏克蘭邊界附近的軍力增加了一倍，並計劃舉行大規模軍事演習。

聯合國人道機構官員約翰·金對安理會說，由於城市地區發生暴力，烏克蘭的人道局勢更加惡化。他表示，逃離家園的人們並未登記，因此很難對救援需求做出評估。
