Russia has given Ukraine until the early hours of Monday to surrender the besieged southern city of Mariupol as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he is ready for peace negotiations with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

俄罗斯要求乌克兰在星期一凌晨之前交出被围困的南部城市马里乌波尔。与此同时，乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示，他已准备好与俄罗斯总统普京进行和平谈判。

According to a Russian state news agency, RIA, Russia's Defense Ministry wants a response from Ukraine's military by 5 a.m. Moscow time.

据俄罗斯国家通讯社RIA报道，俄罗斯国防部希望乌克兰军方在莫斯科时间早上5点之前做出回应。

A statement by Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, the director of the Russian National Center for Defense Management, referred to Ukrainian troops as "odious bandits."

俄罗斯国家国防管理中心主任米哈伊尔·米津采夫上校在一份声明中称乌克兰军队是“可恨的强盗”。

The ultimatum came hours after Zelenskyy told CNN in an interview broadcast Sunday that failure to reach a negotiated agreement with Russia would mean that this is "a third World War."

在此最后通牒发出的几个小时前，泽连斯基在周日接受CNN采访时表示，如果不能与俄罗斯通过谈判达成协议，这将意味着“第三次世界大战”爆发。

He also said if his country had been admitted into NATO earlier, the war would not have happened.

他还说，如果他的国家早点被接纳加入北约，这场战争就不会发生。

Zelenskyy has called for comprehensive peace talks with Moscow that would restore Ukraine's territorial integrity and provide justice for the country.

泽连斯基呼吁与莫斯科进行全面和平谈判，以恢复乌克兰的领土完整，为乌克兰伸张正义。

Russia's lead negotiator has said in recent days the sides have moved closer to an agreement on the issue of Ukraine dropping its bid to join NATO and adopting neutral status.

俄罗斯首席谈判代表表示，最近几天双方在乌克兰放弃加入北约并采取中立地位的问题上接近达成一致。

Earlier Sunday, President Zelenskyy made an emotional appeal to Israel for its help against Russia.

周日早些时候，泽连斯基总统情绪激动地呼吁以色列帮助其对抗俄罗斯。

In a video address to Israeli lawmakers Sunday, President Zelenskyy compared the invasion to the actions of Nazi Germany during World War II.

泽连斯基总统在周日对以色列议员发表的视频讲话中，将这次入侵比作二战期间纳粹德国的所作所为。

He accused President Putin of trying to carry out a "final solution" against Ukraine, using the Nazi term for its genocide of 6 million Jews during that period.

他指责普京总统试图对乌克兰实施“最终解决方案”，用这个纳粹术语来指代德国在二战期间对600万犹太人实施的屠杀。

Israel has emerged as a key mediator between Ukraine and Russia.

以色列已成为乌克兰和俄罗斯之间的关键调停者。

But Zelenskyy said it was time for Israel to finally take sides, telling lawmakers it should follow its Western allies by imposing sanctions and providing arms to Ukraine.

但泽连斯基表示，以色列是时候表明最终表明立场了，他告诉议员们，以色列应该参照西方盟友的做法，实施制裁，并向乌克兰提供武器。
