The nearly three-week-old conflict has revived Cold War level tensions between Moscow and the West and sent more than 3 million Ukrainians fleeing across the border to seek refuge in neighboring states, according to the U.N.

据联合国称，这场持续了近三周的冲突重新点燃了莫斯科和西方之间冷战级别的紧张关系，并导致300多万乌克兰人越过边境逃往邻国寻求庇护。

As a 35-hour curfew came into force in Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hosted the Polish, Czech and Slovenian prime ministers in the first visit by foreign leaders to the besieged city since Russia's invasion.

随着基辅的35小时宵禁生效，总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基接待了波兰、捷克和斯洛文尼亚总理，这是自俄罗斯入侵以来首次有外国领导人访问这座被围困的城市。
