俄羅斯被指蓄意加劇敘利亞難民危機

　　Russia is deliberately attacking civilians in northernSyria in an attempt to intensify the refugee crisis,western diplomats and politicians have warned, in a sign that a fragile ceasefire agreement forthe war-ravaged country is crumbling before it begins.

　　西方交際官和政治人士告誡稱，俄羅斯正有意打擊敘利亞北部的布衣，目標是加重災黎危急，這一跡象註解，對付這個戰亂國度而言，軟弱的停火協定還未開端履行就在崩潰了。

　　A pivotal part of Russia’s strategy was “to exacerbate the refugee crisis and use it as aweapon to divide the transatlantic alliance and undermine the European project”, US SenatorJohn McCain said in a speech at an annual security conference in Munich on Sunday.

　　美國商討員約翰麥凱恩(John McCain)周日在慕尼黑的一個年度平安集會上發演出講時表現，俄羅斯計謀的一個癥結部門是“加重災黎危急，將其用作決裂泰西聯盟和損壞歐洲一體化的兵器”。

　　Two senior politicians from close US allies and a senior European intelligence official echoedMr McCain’s remarks, reflecting the bleak mood among western defence chiefs, diplomats andpolitical leaders gathered for the conference.

　　來自美國密切友邦的兩名高官和歐洲一位高等諜報官員呼應了麥凱恩的談吐，這反應出加入這次集會的西方國防部長、交際官和政治引導人的消極情感。

　　Moscow was “weaponising” the refugee crisis for leverage, one of the politicians warned.According to a European official, facilities such as bakeries and hospitals were being hit in anattempt to force the local population into capitulation and increase the flow of refugeestowards Turkey and Europe.

　　個中一名政治人士告誡稱，俄羅斯正把災黎危急“用作兵器”以求討價還價。一名歐洲官員稱，為了迫使本地住民廢棄統統，並增長逃往土耳其和歐洲的災黎數目，面包房和病院等場合正受到打擊。

　　The Syrian ceasefire deal, which is set to begin on Friday, was agreed by the International SyriaSupport Group — the collection of regional and world powers whose influence is critical indetermining the outcome of the Syrian conflict — at the conference last Friday.

　　周五行將啟動的敘利亞停火協定由國際敘利亞支撐小組(International Syria Support Group，由地域和環球大國構成，它們的影響力在決議敘利亞辯論的成果方面相當主要)在上周五的集會上殺青。

　　Moscow’s air operations have shifted the balance of power in favour of the regime of Bashar al-Assad, leaving many Washington-backed moderate opposition groups in northern Syria closeto surrendering.

　　俄羅斯的空中作戰行為使得疆場情勢向著有益於巴沙爾阿薩德(Bashar al-Assad)政權的偏向成長，致使敘利亞北部許多獲得美國支撐的平和否決派構造靠近屈膝投降。
