川普驅逐了60位俄國外交官以示對英國下毒事件的懲罰，並保護美國免於間諜活動
歐盟包括英國目前已經驅逐了55位俄國外交官
48名在俄國美國使館工作及12名在聯合國工作的俄國外交官被要求離境。
Donald Trump has expelled 60 Russian diplomats from America as punishment for
the Salisbury poisoning and to protect the country from spying.
Donald Tusk, the European Council president, announced coordinated expulsions
of 32 Russian diplomats in 14 of the EU’s member states.
After Britain expelled 23 Russian intelligence official operating under
diplomatic cover, the total of European-based spies expelled is 55.
“Additional measures including further expulsions,” Mr Tusk said, “are not
excluded in the coming days and weeks.”
Some 48 diplomats at the Russian embassy in the US have been asked to leave
and 12 Russians who work at the United Nations. The Russian consulate in
Seattle will also be closed.
資深美國官員說被驅逐的俄國外交官是偽裝成外交官的情報人員。
官員們並指責俄國謀殺英國公民的粗暴行為，稱俄國是該起攻擊事件的幕後黑手，
並說這件事不能就這樣不被懲罰地過去。
Senior US administration officials said the Russians being expelled were
intelligence officers who are being "cloaked" by their diplomatic status.
The US officials accused Russia of a “reckless attempt” to murder British
citizens on UK soil and said the attack would not go unpunished.
US officials said that the lives of "countless" innocent people including
children had been put at risk by the attack on Sergei Skripal and his
daughter Yulia. They also blamed the Kremlin directly for the attack.
A senior US administration official said: "This was a reckless attempt by the
government to murder a British citizen and his daughter on British soil with
a military-grave nerve agent. It cannot go unanswered.
「索爾茲伯里攻擊事件是俄國一連串破壞國際和平及穩定的最新一起動作」
「俄國人展現對世界安全及主權的惡意，且屢次試圖使西方國家失信於世界，而且這些
企圖仍然持續著」
「今天我們與美國最親近的伙伴：英國站在一起，向俄國政府說當你欺負我的夥伴，就
要面對嚴重的後果」
外交官與其家屬有七天可以離開美國
俄羅斯駐美國大使警告：美國正在摧毀僅存的一點點美俄關係
包括德國及波蘭的數個歐盟國今早也宣布類似的舉措
“The Salisbury attack was only the latest in a long series of Russian
efforts to undermine international peace and stability.
“The Russian government has shown malicious contempt for the sovereignty and
security of countries worldwide. It has repeatedly sought to subvert and
discredit Western institutions. These efforts are ongoing.
“Today we stand in solidarity with America's closest ally, the United
Kingdom. To the Russian government we say: ‘When you attack our friends you
will face serious consequences.”
The diplomats and their families have seven days to leave the country.
Moscow's ambassador to Washington warned the US was "destroying what little
is left of relations with Russia".
A number of European Union member states, including Germany and Poland, have
announced similar moves this morning.
丹麥首相說「俄羅斯太誇張了，竟然在歐洲城市中使用他們的神經毒，我們站在英國這邊
英國首相梅伊在布魯塞爾的峰會中取得外交勝利，成功說服各國政治領導人譴責俄國。
“Russia has gone too far. An assassination attempt in a European city with a
Russian nerve agent is completely unacceptable. The UK has our full support.,
” tweeted Danish prime minister Lars Rasmussen.
Theresa May scored a diplomatic victory at a Brussels summit of EU leaders on
Thursday. Heads of state and government criticised the Salisbury attack and
agreed it was highly probable Russia was responsible.
The EU recalled its ambassador to Moscow for consultations which was
described by Jean-Claude Juncker on Friday as “unprecedented”.
“The European Council condemned in the strongest possible terms the recent
attack in Salisbury,” Mr Tusk said at a press conference in Varna,
Bulgaria. He is in Bulgaria for EU talks with Turkey.
德、法、波各驅逐了四位疑似情報員。立陶宛外相並推特發文表示該國會驅逐三位俄國
間諜，制裁廿一位俄國人，並禁止廿三位入境。
捷克驅逐了三位外交官，丹麥及義大利則分別驅逐二位。
荷蘭、西班牙和拉脫維亞各將驅逐二位俄國情報官員，羅馬尼亞、克羅埃西亞、匈牙利
以及愛沙尼亞則將各驅逐一名。預計愛爾蘭也會在明天跟進。
法國外交部長說：和我們的英國夥伴站在一起，我們今天通知了俄國當局驅逐四位俄國
外交人員的決定
美國官員說該60位俄國人是在美國的100位間諜的一部份，其他人該怎麼處理之後再決定
Germany, France and Poland are expelling four suspected spies each. Linas
Linkevicius, Lithuania’s foreign minister, tweeted that his country would
expel three Russian spies and sanction 21 Russians and ban 23 from entering
Lithuania.
The Czech Republic have kicked out three diplomats and the Danes and Italians
are expelling two each.
The Netherlands, Spain and Latvia are expelling two Russian intelligence
officials each and Romania, Croatia, Hungary and Estonia are expelling one
each. Ireland is expected to follow suit when it makes an announcement
tomorrow.
French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said: "In solidarity with our
British partners, we have today notified the Russian authorities of our
decision to expel from the French territory four Russian personnel with
diplomatic status, within one week."
US officials said the 60 Russians were part more more than 100 spies
operating in America. They said they would make decisions in the future about
what to do with those remaining.
川普沒有與普亭討論這次的舉動，並不排除新的經濟制裁。
這次的動作是在毒殺事件後兩個禮拜才發生，期間大家都在猜測美國是否會對於俄國採取
強硬態度。
梅伊指控克林姆林宮的那天，白宮拒絕明白將矛頭指向俄羅斯。
川普在上週與普亭的通話中，並未提及毒殺事件，且時常跳脫幕僚官員的擬稿。
資深美國官員否認他們之前傳達「混亂的消息」，並表示他們與英國站在一起。
Mr Trump has not discussed the move with Vladimir Putin, the Russian
president. US officials did not rule out the possibility of new economic
sanctions on Russia as punishment for Salisbury, saying instead when asked
that there was nothing to announce.
The action comes after more than a fortnight of mixed messages over America’
s willingness to take a tough line on Russia for the Salisbury poisoning.
The White House declined to point the finger at Russia explicitly the day
Theresa May linked the Kremlin with the attack during an address in the House
of Commons.
Mr Trump also failed to mention that attack during a phone call with Mr Putin
last week and at times has not matched critical rhetoric of cabinet
colleagues and officials.
Senior US administration officials pushed back on the suggestion they had
been sending “mixed messages” on Monday, saying that they stood with
Britain over the attack.
