The United States and its allies on Wednesday criticized Russia in the United Nations Security Council over missile attacks on Ukraine in a meeting a day after a missile NATO said was a stray fired by Ukraine's air defenses crashed into Poland.

北约表示，一枚“由乌克兰防空系统发射的导弹”于周二坠落在波兰，事件发生后的第二天，美国及其盟友在联合国安理会的一次会议上批评了俄罗斯对乌克兰进行导弹袭击的行为。

Poland said the missile was probably not a Russian strike, easing international fears the war could widen.

波兰表示，这枚导弹可能不是来自俄罗斯的打击，缓解了国际社会对战争可能扩散的担忧。

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy disagrees, saying there is no doubt the missile was not Ukrainian.

乌克兰总统泽伦斯基不同意这种说法，他说，这枚导弹毫无疑问不是乌克兰的。

Washington's ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas Greenfield told the Security Council it really doesn't matter.

华盛顿驻联合国大使琳达·托马斯·格林菲尔德告诉安理会，这不是问题的重点。

"This tragedy would never have happened but for Russia's needless invasion of Ukraine and its recent missile assaults against Ukraine's civilian¹ infrastructure²."

“如果不是俄罗斯侵略乌克兰，并且近期对乌克兰的民用基础设施进行导弹袭击，这场悲剧就不会发生。”

Adding, quote, "Ukraine has every right to defend itself against this barrage³."

引用她的话说，“乌克兰完全有权保护自己免受俄罗斯的打击。”

The Pentagon's top officer says he tried to again touch with his Russian counterpart after the missile strike in Poland.

美国国防部最高官员表示，在波兰遭到导弹袭击后，他再次尝试与俄罗斯外长取得联系。

Joint⁴ Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley says his staff reached out.

美军参谋长联席会议主席马克·米利表示，他的工作人员试图帮他接通俄罗斯高层的电话。

"... attempts were made. No success," which raises concerns about high level communications with Moscow in a crisis.

“……我们尝试通话，但没有成功。”这引发了人们对危机中无法与俄罗斯高层进行沟通的担忧。

At a news conference, Milley says it appears unlikely either Russia or Ukraine will score a decisive military victory.

米利在新闻发布会上说，俄罗斯和乌克兰似乎都不太可能取得决定性的军事胜利。

That plus a potential winter slowdown in fighting could lead to talks on ending the war.

基于这一点，再加上冬季战斗可能放缓，两国可能会就结束战争进行谈判。

Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin says that's not up to the U.S. "Ukrainians are going to decide that and not us."

美国国防部部长劳埃德·奥斯汀表示，美国不会对此进行干涉。“这将由乌克兰人来决定，而不是我们。”
