听闻“普京官邸遭袭”,特朗普:我很生气
当地时间12月29日,美国总统特朗普在佛罗里达州海湖庄园与以色列总理内塔尼亚胡开始会晤前透露,他当天早晨与俄罗斯总统普京通电话时,被对方告知乌克兰无人机袭击了普京一处官邸。特朗普表示“我对此很生气”。
US President Donald Trump on Monday had said he was "very angry" about Russian claims that Ukraine tried to attack the presidential residence in the Novgorod region overnight with 91 long-range drones.
Speaking to reporters after greeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday afternoon, Trump said he had been informed of the attack by Putin during a phone call earlier in the day.
特朗普称暂不了解具体情况,俄方说法可能不实、袭击并未发生,他补充说“但普京总统今天早上告诉我,的确发生了”。若确有其事,“那太糟糕了,并不是好事”。
Asked if there's evidence of the attack, Trump replied: "Well, we'll find out. You're saying maybe the attack didn't take place? That's possible, I guess, but President Putin told me this morning."
特朗普告诉媒体记者,他与普京的这次通话“有成效”,但要在乌克兰实现和平仍存在“一些非常棘手的难题”。
俄方:将作出“最严厉回应”
据俄外交部网站消息,俄罗斯外长拉夫罗夫表示,当地时间12月28日深夜至29日凌晨,乌方使用91架无人机袭击普京的一处官邸,不过所有无人机均被摧毁。目前尚无人员伤亡或财产损失报告。
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday that Kiev launched an overnight drone attack targeting the presidential residence in Russia's northwestern region of Novgorod.
The strike began late Sunday night and continued into the early hours of Monday.

拉夫罗夫说,这次袭击发生在俄美两国为解决乌克兰问题进行密切磋商之际。对于乌方这类行径,俄方不会没有回应。俄军已确定还击的目标和时间。
拉夫罗夫还表示,俄方无意退出围绕乌克兰问题与美国的谈判进程,但鉴于乌方上述行径,俄方将重新审视谈判立场。
Lavrov emphasized that the attack was carried out amid intensive Russia-US negotiations aimed at resolving the Ukraine crisis. He warned that such reckless actions would not go unanswered, confirming that the Russian Armed Forces had already identified the targets for retaliatory strikes and set the timing for their execution.
Lavrov also noted that Moscow had no intention of withdrawing from the negotiation process with the United States.
据俄罗斯塔斯社报道,俄总统助理乌沙科夫29日说,乌克兰无人机袭击普京官邸一事在美乌领导人海湖庄园会晤后立即发生。特朗普29日与普京通电话时,向普京介绍与泽连斯基会晤的结果,并表示此次无人机袭击事件将影响美方与泽连斯基共事的方式。
特朗普说他在会晤中建议乌方不要试图为前线部队争取喘息之机,而应集中精力达成全面协议,以期切实结束冲突。普京在通话中表示,乌无人机袭击俄总统官邸之类的行动将得到“最严厉回应”。
乌方:纯属捏造
泽连斯基29日在社交媒体发文称,俄罗斯关于乌方无人机袭击俄总统官邸的说法“纯属捏造”,俄方相关言论“非常危险”,目的是破坏乌方与美国总统特朗普团队的合作成果。
泽连斯基称,俄方目的还包括为继续袭击乌克兰、尤其是乌首都基辅,以及为拒绝采取必要步骤结束战争来“制造借口”。他提到,俄方先前对基辅的空袭,目标包括乌克兰内阁办公大楼。他呼吁国际社会阻止俄方“破坏”和平进程。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday denied the accusation, calling it "another lie from the Russian Federation".
"They're simply preparing the ground to carry out strikes, probably on the capital and probably on government buildings," Zelensky said.
