（单词翻译）

Ukraine says Russia sent thousands of new soldiers into its eastern Donbas region on Tuesday. Regional leaders say they are trying to evacuate¹ civilians² and hold on to key cities.

乌克兰表示，俄罗斯周二向其东部顿巴斯地区新派遣了数千名士兵。该地区领导人表示，他们正试图撤离平民，并守住关键城市。

In a video speech Monday, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia has been preparing to take over the region "for a long time."

乌克兰总统泽连斯基周一在视频中表示，俄罗斯长期以来一直在准备占领该地区。

Zelenskyy continued, saying a large part of the Russian army is centering its efforts on an attack in the region. The Donbas includes two provinces, Luhansk and Donetsk along with the coastal³ city of Mariupol.

泽连斯基继续说，俄罗斯很大一部分军队正集中在该地区发动袭击。顿巴斯包括卢甘斯克和顿涅茨克两个省以及沿海城市马里乌波尔。

If Russia takes over control of the region, it will connect Russia with the Crimean Peninsula, an area it took in 2014.

如果俄罗斯接管该地区的控制权，它将把俄罗斯与克里米亚半岛连接起来，这是它在2014年占领的地区。

Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, confirmed "another stage of this operation is beginning." Defense⁴ minister Sergei Shoigu said Russia's plan is to "liberate⁵" the provinces in the border area.

俄罗斯外长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫证实，这一行动开始进入下一阶段。国防部长绍伊古表示，俄罗斯计划解放边境地区的省份。

In Mariupol, Russian soldiers told the last Ukrainian fighters remaining in the area to give up their fight or be killed.

在马里乌波尔，俄罗斯士兵告诉留在该地区的最后一批乌克兰战士投降或是被消灭。

Zelenskyy, however, said his nation's soldiers will keep fighting. "We will defend ourselves," he said.

然而泽连斯基表示，该国士兵将会继续战斗。他说：“我们会捍卫自己。”

In addition to the fighting in the east, Ukrainian regional governor Maksym Kozytskyy said three missiles hit military targets in the western city of Lviv. Another missile, he said, hit a car repair shop. Lviv is only 60 kilometers from Poland and has not been hit as hard as other parts of Ukraine in the war, which started in late February.

除了东部的战斗，乌克兰地方州长马克西姆·科齐茨基说表示，有三枚导弹击中了西部城市利沃夫的军事目标。他说，另一枚导弹击中了一家汽车修理店。利沃夫距离波兰仅60公里，在2月下旬开始的战斗中，该地并没有像乌克兰其它地区那样遭受重创。

Lviv is an important target as it is one of Ukraine's main transportation centers. Western nations are sending aid into Ukraine through the city.

利沃夫是一个重要目标，因为它是乌克兰的主要交通中心之一。西方国家正通过这座城市向乌克兰提供援助。

In a recent call, Russian president Vladimir Putin said economic restrictions⁶ put in place by Western nations have failed.

俄罗斯总统在最近的一次通话中表示，西方国家实施的经济制裁已经失败。

Putin said "the strategy of economic blitz" has not worked.

普京表示，经济闪电战没有奏效。

Western officials, however, said the restrictions on business with Russia, known as sanctions, have deeply hurt the economy.

然而，西方官员表示，对俄罗斯开展业务的限制，即所谓的制裁已经严重损害该国经济。

United States President Joe Biden spoke⁷ with allies Tuesday to discuss what the White House called "continued support for Ukraine and efforts to hold Russia accountable" for the war.

美国总统拜登周二与盟国进行了交谈，讨论了白宫所谓的继续支持乌克兰并努力让俄罗斯对这场战争负责。

Nearly 25 percent of Ukraine's 44 million residents have been forced from their homes due to the fighting.

由于战斗，乌克兰4400万居民中有近25%被迫离开家园。
