双语新闻：俄罗斯国防部长称俄罗斯不会入侵乌克兰 Russian Defense Minister Tells Hagel Russia Will Not Invade Ukraine

美国国防部五角大楼官员说，俄罗斯国防部长绍伊古星期一向美国国防部长哈格尔保证，俄罗斯军队不会入侵乌克兰。

哈格尔和绍伊古通过电话进行了交谈。哈格尔希望了解俄国对乌克兰的意图。

五角大楼发言人表示，哈格尔在交谈中强调了乌克兰局势的危险性。哈格尔还表示，乌克兰有权维护其境内的法律和秩序。他提醒绍伊古，如果入侵行动持续，俄罗斯将面临更多孤立。

哈格尔还要求俄罗斯协助释放在乌克兰东部地区被分离主义分子劫持的7名欧盟观察员。

与此同时，乌克兰第二大城市哈尔科夫的市长克恩斯被枪手击中后生命垂危。克恩斯是在这个东部城市的郊外骑车时被击中的。

The Pentagon says Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu has assured Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel that Russian forces will not invade Ukraine.

The two spoke by telephone Monday, with Hagel wanting clarification on Russia's intentions.

A Pentagon spokesman said Hagel emphasized how dangerous the situation is, and that Ukraine has the right to preserve law and order inside its borders. He reminded Shoygu that Russia faces more isolation if its aggression continues.

Hagel also asked for Russian help in freeing seven European inspectors held by pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

Meanwhile, officials in Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, say Mayor Hennady Kernes is fighting for his life after being shot in the back by a sniper. Kernes was hit while riding his bicycle on the outskirts of the city.
