布达佩斯,10月17日 - 乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基因黑海封锁,要求邻国波兰、罗马尼亚、斯洛伐克和匈牙利允许乌克兰谷物货物过境,匈牙利总理彼得·马加尔周六表示。
BUDAPEST, Oct 17 - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has asked neighbours Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary to allow the transit of Ukrainian grain cargoes because of a Black Sea blockade, Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said on Saturday.
马加尔周五在会谈中与泽连斯基达成一致,同意重置乌克兰-匈牙利关系,他表示,如果乌克兰谷物货物仅经过匈牙利前往其他目的地,他将不会对此提出异议,私营广播公司RTL报道。
Magyar, who agreed with Zelenskiy to reset Ukraine-Hungary ties at talks on Friday, said he would have no objections to the measure if the Ukrainian grain cargoes only passed through Hungary to other destinations, private broadcaster RTL reported.
乌克兰是世界上小麦、玉米和向日葵籽的主要生产国之一,其约90%的此类作物出口通过黑海进行,而俄罗斯对黑海港口的袭击行动几乎使农产品出口陷入停滞。
Ukraine is among the world's top producers of wheat, corn and sunflower seeds and around 90% of its exports of such crops go through the Black Sea, where a Russian campaign of attacks has almost halted agricultural exports from its Black Sea ports.
马加尔表示,谷物过境将参照俄罗斯2022年2月入侵乌克兰后不久提出的解决方案。
The grain transit would be modelled on a solution proposed shortly after Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Magyar said.
“(泽连斯基)要求波兰、罗马尼亚、斯洛伐克、匈牙利以及所有邻国允许过境,就像他们在战争初期三四年前那样做的,”马加尔在接受RTL采访时表示。
"(Zelenskiy) asked Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and all neighbouring countries to allow transit, as they had three or four years ago at the start of the war," Magyar told RTL in an interview.
马加尔对基辅的立场比其前任、匈牙利总理维克托·奥尔班更不具对抗性,但他多次表示,匈牙利不会向乌克兰运送武器,并要求推进其匈牙利少数民族的权利。
Magyar has taken a less confrontational stance towards Kyiv than Viktor Orban, whom he succeeded as Hungary's prime minister. Magyar had repeatedly said, however, that Hungary would not send arms to Ukraine and demanded progress on the rights of its ethnic Hungarian minority.
马加尔还向泽连斯基保证,他将全力支持乌克兰抵御“俄罗斯对乌克兰的非人道侵略”。
Magyar also assured Zelenskiy of his full solidarity over the "inhuman Russian aggression" against Ukraine.
“他在我们的一对一会谈中告诉我,如果他们能够将玉米用密封列车运往西欧,将对他们帮助很大,”马加尔说。
"He mentioned to me during our one-on-one meeting that it would help them a lot if they could transport maize in sealed trains to Western Europe," Magyar said.
“我表示,只要它仅仅过境该国,就不会有障碍。”8月下旬,欧盟委员会预测,欧盟今年的玉米产量将达到5010万吨,这是其通常第二大谷物作物,产量接近二十年来的低点,且比过去三年的平均水平低约五分之一。
"I said as long as it merely transits the country, there would be no obstacle." In late August the European Commission forecast the European Union's maize harvest, typically its second-largest cereals crop, would be 50.1 million metric tons this year, a near two-decade low and about a fifth below the average of the past three years.
法国和匈牙利的农民受到的打击尤为严重,因为创纪录的高温和干旱导致玉米种植遭到毁灭性破坏。
Farmers in France and Hungary were hit especially hard as record heat and drought had decimated maize plantings.
