週四三輛俄羅斯坦克車與其他軍用車輛越過邊界進入烏克蘭，引發烏俄軍隊之間的小規模衝突，烏克蘭代理內政部部長阿森．阿瓦科夫表示。 |
|
The Russian Foreign Ministry told the BBC that the claim was "another fake piece of information." |
| |
俄羅斯外交部向 BBC 表示該聲明是「另一項不實消息」。 |
|
According to Avakov, tanks crossed the border at a checkpoint controlled by pro-Russian separatists in the Luhansk region of eastern Ukraine. |
|
Armored vehicles and artillery were part of the columns, Avakov said, citing Ukrainian intelligence. |
| |
根據阿瓦科夫的說法，坦克車在烏克蘭東部盧甘斯克地區一處由親俄分離主義分子控制的檢查哨跨越邊界。阿瓦科夫引述烏克蘭情報表示，隊伍中還有武裝車輛和火砲。 |
|
Two of the tanks split off and headed in the direction of Gorlovka, also known as Horlivka, and were attacked by Ukrainian military forces, Avakov said. |
| |
阿瓦科夫說，有兩輛坦克車脫隊往戈爾洛夫卡市（也稱作荷里夫卡）的方向前進，遭到烏克蘭軍方攻擊。 |
| |
Part of that column was destroyed, he said. |
| |
他表示該隊伍有部份遭到摧毀。 |

CNN has not independently confirmed the incidents. |

The countries have been engaged in a tense standoff since March, when Russia annexed Crimea and massed troops along its border with Ukraine. |
| |
這兩國自三月以來就處於緊張對峙狀態，當時俄羅斯強佔了克里米亞，並且召集軍隊在烏俄邊界沿線佈署。 |

U.S. officials said in late May that thousands of Russian troops had withdrawn from the border. |
|
Thousands more who remained appeared to be preparing to depart, U.S. officials said at the time. |
| |
美國官員五月底時表示已有數千名俄羅斯軍隊撤離邊界。當時美國官員說數千名仍在該地的士兵似乎正準備離開。 |

西方領導人指控莫斯科在烏克蘭東部挑起不安情勢。俄羅斯領導人表示烏克蘭未能推動實施四月在瑞士日內瓦訂定的和平架構。他們說烏克蘭領導人宣揚暴力對付居住在東部普遍親俄的人。 |
|
Also on Thursday, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin "held a substantial and long phone conversation," the Ukrainian President's media office said, but it was unclear if that conversation occurred before or after the reported tank incursion. |

烏克蘭總統裴卓．波羅申科與俄羅斯總統弗拉德米爾．普汀週四也「進行了一場重大而長時間的電話談話」，烏克蘭總統的媒體辦公室表示，但並不清楚對話是在報導說的坦克入侵之前或之後發生。 |
