Russia was ready to put nuclear forces on alert over Crimea, Putin says 普京说，在克里米亚问题上俄罗斯的核武器随时处于战备状态 By Laura Smith-Spark, Alla Eshchenko and Emma Burrows, CNN Updated 1140 GMT (1940 HKT) March 16, 2015 Moscow (CNN)Russia was ready to put its nuclear forces on alert over the crisis in Crimea last year, such was the threat to Russian people there, President Vladimir Putin said in a documentary that aired on state TV on Sunday night. 莫斯科(美国有线电视新闻网) 在星期天晚上，俄罗斯总统普京在国家电视台播放的一段纪录片中说道，在去年开始的克里米亚危机问题上，俄罗斯的核武器随时处于战备状态，不过这对俄罗斯本国人民也是一种威胁。 Asked if Russia was prepared to bring its nuclear weapons into play, Putin said: We were ready to do it. I talked with colleagues and told them that this (Crimea), is our historic territory, Russian people live there, they are in danger, we cannot leave them. 当普京被问及是否动用核武器做好战斗准备，普京回答道：“我们已经做好了核武器的战斗准备。我和我的同僚谈到此事时，我告诉他们，克里米亚—这块地方历史上曾是我们的领土，俄罗斯人世世代代生活在那里，他们现在很危险，我们不能抛弃他们。” It wasnt us who committed a coup, it was the nationalists and people with extreme beliefs. “不是我们俄罗斯人民，而是民族主义者们和极端信仰的宗教人士实施的营救行动。” But, he added, in the documentary broadcast on state-run channel Rossiya One, I dont think this was actually anyones wish -- to turn it into a world conflict. 但是，普京在国家控制的罗西亚电视台一套播放的一段纪录片中补充道：“我认为，将克里米亚危机变为世界冲突是无论谁都想的愿望。” It wasnt known when the interview originally taped. 这段采访最初是何时录音的，就不得而知了。 Russia formally annexed Ukraines Crimean peninsula last March, after Ukraines pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted following street protests that turned bloody.
