    Following Russia's annexation of Crimea, the West is trying to work out what the Kremlin's next move will be. Both the United States and Britain have expressed concern about Russia's troop buildup on the Ukrainian border. President Vladimir Putin's strategy has become an increasingly tense geopolitical chess game between East and West.
    俄羅斯吞并克里米亞之后,西方國(guó)家試圖摸清楚克里姆林宮下一步會(huì)做什么。美國(guó)和英國(guó)都對(duì)俄羅斯陳兵烏克蘭邊境表示擔(dān)憂(yōu)。在東西方日益緊張的地緣政治這盤(pán)棋上,普京總統(tǒng)會(huì)采取什么戰(zhàn)略?
    Russian troops are trying to destabilize Ukraine, claim U.S. and British officials.
    美國(guó)和英國(guó)官員指責(zé)俄羅斯軍隊(duì)試圖破壞烏克蘭的穩(wěn)定。
    But Russia's foreign minister says that is not case.
    但俄羅斯外長(zhǎng)否認(rèn)這種說(shuō)法。
    "We are deeply convinced and nobody has so far challenged this conviction, that the situation cannot be calmed down and changed into national dialogue if the Ukrainian authorities go on ignoring the interests of the southeastern regions of the country," said Sergei Lavrov.
    他說(shuō):“我們深信,而且迄今沒(méi)有人質(zhì)疑我們的看法,這就是,如果烏克蘭*繼續(xù)無(wú)視東南地區(qū)的利益,烏克蘭的局勢(shì)就穩(wěn)定不下來(lái),就不可能開(kāi)始全國(guó)性對(duì)話(huà)。”
    Moscow now has thousands of troops massed along its border with eastern Ukraine. And although it insists it has no intention of invading, Moscow says it reserves the right to defend ethnic Russians in the country.
    羅斯目前在靠近東烏克蘭的邊境地區(qū)陳兵數(shù)萬(wàn)。盡管莫斯科堅(jiān)稱(chēng)無(wú)意入侵,但卻表示要保留保護(hù)烏克蘭俄羅斯族的權(quán)利。
    Analyst Irina Tymczyszyn says Russia has a very clear mandate.
    有分析人士認(rèn)為,俄羅斯有非常明確的要求。
    “The Russian strategy appears to be to restore the Soviet Union as it was before the collapse, before 1991, and possibly more. I think Putin considers himself to be the collector of Russian lands, and by Russia he unfortunately means countries like the Ukraine, because Russia has not recognized to date Ukraine as a separate state," said Tymczyszyn.
    烏克蘭英國(guó)城市俱樂(lè)部分析員蒂姆申琴說(shuō):“俄羅斯的戰(zhàn)略似乎是恢復(fù)1991年解體之前的蘇聯(lián),可能比這更多。我想,普京自認(rèn)為是收復(fù)俄羅斯土地的人,但遺憾的是,所謂俄羅斯,在他看來(lái)就意味著烏克蘭等國(guó)家,因?yàn)槎砹_斯從來(lái)都沒(méi)有承認(rèn)烏克蘭是另一個(gè)國(guó)家?!?BR>    In Kyiv, a meeting between the parliament and communist deputies ended in a scuffle, highlighting the high level of tensions within the country’s borders.
    在基輔,議會(huì)和共產(chǎn)黨代表之間的一次會(huì)議以拳腳相加告終,凸顯了烏克蘭國(guó)內(nèi)的高度緊張氣氛。
    "Pre-planned and coordinated provocation against our country has started. It was organized by the intelligence services in the Russian Federation," said Acting Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov.
    烏克蘭代總統(tǒng)圖爾奇諾夫說(shuō):“針對(duì)我國(guó)的有預(yù)謀、有協(xié)調(diào)的挑釁已經(jīng)開(kāi)始。這是俄羅斯聯(lián)邦情報(bào)機(jī)構(gòu)組織的?!?BR>    But the head of the Communist Party in Ukraine countered that comment, blaming inaction by Ukrainian officials who they say ignored the needs of the people.
    "The most important thing is to answer the question what exactly the Ukrainian authorities did in order to prevent these events in the asset," said Petro Symonenko. "Let’s start with analyzing the demands of the citizens - who remain the people of Ukraine - living in Luhansk, Donetsk and other regions they came to the streets with, and what rights they want to defend?
    In the flashpoint town of Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine, residents also remain split.
    在局勢(shì)緊張的東烏克蘭城市哈爾科夫,居民意見(jiàn)分歧。
    "We demand a referendum. And the gang which is now meeting at the parliament should not impose their opinion on us," said a protester.
    "The situation we have in Kharkiv now is being escalated solely by the Russian side. It is in Russia’s interest to return Kharkiv, Donetsk and Luhansk under its control, it is in its interest," said another.
    Analyst Tymczyszyn agrees:
    "Right now, the West is sending a message which is very different, just indicating consistent quiet dismay over Putin’s actions. For him, it means he can go ahead and do as he pleases because he does not feel the response will be sufficiently damaging to him," she said.
    But the political chess game continues to be played out on the border of Ukraine and Russia with no clear winner in sight. Though analysts say it is clear that Putin is determined to be the victor, and likely before the May 25th elections in Ukraine.
