美国国务卿约翰·克里谴责了所谓的俄罗斯对乌克兰的侵犯行为，他是在基辅访问期间发表这番讲话的。萨拉·雷恩斯福德报道。

As he laid flowers at the shrines of dozens killed in Kiev, John Kerry was met by a crowd calling for his country's help. That is what he came here to offer, moral and political support for the interim government, and the promise of financial and its technical aid to help stabilize the economy. But most of all, he brought a message for Moscow, there is no evidence at all, he insisted, that it claimed that its troops are protecting Russian speakers in Ukraine, accusing Moscow of hiding behind falsehood and intimidation. In the 21st century, John Kerry warned, you can't invade another country, and dictate your demands down the barrel of a gun.

约翰·克里向基辅数十名死者的神龛前献了鲜花，他遇到一群要求美国帮助的人们。他此行也是为此而来，准备给临时政府提供道德和政治支持，同时承诺提供财政和技术支持来帮助该国稳定经济。但最重要的是，他向莫斯科带来一条信息，他坚称没有证据显示其部队在保护在乌克兰的俄罗斯演讲人，他指控莫斯科撒谎并进行恐吓。约翰·克里警告说，在21世纪你是不能入侵他国的，不能用枪炮来进行命令。

John Kerry was echoed shortly after with by President Obama, who said the fact that Russian soldiers were active in Crimea, meant Russia was using illegal force to exert influence on a neighbouring country.

Mr. Putin said they were a local defence forces and the Russia took no part in training them. Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow.

总统奥巴马后来也当即相应了约翰·克里的看法，他说事实上俄罗斯军队在克里米亚很活跃，这说明俄罗斯非法使用武力来对乌克兰施压。早些时候，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京称本国对乌克兰的干预是人道主义行动，他否认克里米亚军事基地附近的武装部队与克里姆林宫有关。普京称那里有当地的自卫队，因此俄罗斯不会参与培训他们。史蒂夫·罗森博格在莫斯科报道。

Vladimir Putin said Ukraine had witnessed an unconstitutional coup, an armed seize of power. He continued, he said to recognize Yanukovych as the country's legitimate president. President Putin believed that Viktor Yanukovych was toppled by a Western plot to install an anti-Russian government in Kiev. he likened American officials to people doing laboratorial experiments on rats.

弗拉基米尔·普京说乌克兰目睹了不合宪的政变，也就是通过武力夺权。他认可亚努科维奇为该国的合法总统，总统普京认为西方阴谋推翻了维克多·亚努科维奇，目的是想在基辅建立反俄罗斯的政府，他将美国官员比作用小白鼠做实验的人。
