烏克蘭總統: 俄羅斯可能發動新的襲擊

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has warned that there are 9,000 Russian troops in the rebel-controlled area of eastern Ukraine and warned the country must be on alert for a large-scale attack.

烏克蘭總統波羅申科警告說，烏克蘭東部分離分子控制區內有9千名俄羅斯軍人。他警告說，烏克蘭必須警惕大規模襲擊。

Mr. Poroshenko made the comment to parliament Thursday, saying there exists a "colossal" threat of major new attacks.

波羅申科星期四在議會講話時說，烏克蘭面臨新的重大攻擊的"巨大威脅"。

He spoke a day after a major battle flared outside a main separatist stronghold in eastern Ukraine.

在此前一天，烏克蘭東部分離分子的主要據點頓涅斯克附近爆發戰鬥。

Firefighters scrambled to put out a fire at an open air market near Donetsk following a suspected rocket attack.

頓涅斯克附近的一家露天市場疑遭火箭炮彈襲擊，消防人員緊急撲滅火災。

The Kremlin insists it has no direct role in the crisis, and has repeatedly denied supporting the rebellion with arms and fighters.

俄羅斯當局一直否認直接捲入烏克蘭危機，並一再否認向烏克蘭反政府武裝提供武器和戰鬥人員。

The truce signed by Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany in February required both sides to withdraw heavy weapons from the line of contact.

俄羅斯、烏克蘭、法國和德國今年二月簽署的停火協議要求衝突雙方從接觸地區撤走重型武器。

But international observers say those provisions have been routinely violated.

但是國際觀察人員說，這些規定經常被違反。
