乌克兰举行民族团结会谈

Ukrainian leaders have launched national unity talks in Kyiv Wednesday, a day after pro-Russian separatists killed seven government soldiers in the country\'s east and amid unconfirmed reports of fresh violence.
星期三，乌克兰领导人在基辅举行“民族团结”会谈。一天前，亲俄分离主义分子在乌克兰东部打死7名乌克兰军人。未经证实的报道说，有新的暴力事件发生。

National lawmakers and regional officials, religious leaders and civic activists are attending the talks, part of a "road map" laid out by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
乌克兰议会议员和地区官员参加了这次会谈。这是一个欧洲安全与合作组织制定的路线图计划的一部分。
 
The OSCE plan calls on both the Ukrainian government and the separatists to refrain from violence. It also seeks immediate amnesty for those involved in the fighting and talks on decentralizing the country\'s political system and on the status of the Russian language.
欧安组织的计划呼吁乌克兰政府和分离分子保持克制，不要采取暴力。立即赦免曾参与战斗的人员。谈判把国家政治制度非中央化，并讨论俄语的地位。
 
But the separatist rebels are not represented, raising doubts about the negotiations’ effectiveness.
但分离主义武装人员没有出席会议，使得会谈的有效性备受质疑。

At the talks, Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov sounded a hard line toward the rebels, saying Kyiv would not bow to blackmail.
在会谈中，乌克兰总统图尔奇诺夫采取强硬路线，他说，基辅不会屈服于讹诈。

Turchynov said his government would use legal means to stop "those who, with weapons in their hands, are trying to wage war against their own country and impose their -- or, rather, the will of another state."
 他说，他的政府将采用合法措施制止那些手持武器，试图对自己的国家发动战争的人。这些人想把另一个国家的意志强加给乌克兰。

On Wednesday, Russia\'s Interfax news agency quoted Vyacheslav Ponomarev, the self-styled "people\'s mayor" of Slovyansk, the rebel stronghold in eastern Ukraine, as saying eight government soldiers had been killed and seven wounded overnight in a battle with rebels outside Slovyansk.
星期三，俄罗斯国际文传通讯社援引反叛力量据点斯洛文斯克自称的人民市长波诺马廖夫的话说，昨天夜间该市外围的一场战斗中，有8名政府军士兵被打死，7人受伤。
