俄烏領導人週二舉行會談

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko meets Tuesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as Kyiv levels new accusations against Moscow of fueling a pro-Russian insurgency in eastern Ukraine.

The meeting in Minsk, Belarus, which also includes senior European Union officials, represents a fresh diplomatic push to end five months of fighting that has left over 2,000 people dead.

It comes a day after President Poroshenko dissolved parliament and called for early elections on October 26. In a televised statement, he said the vote is necessary in order to "cleanse" parliament.

Mr. Poroshenko said the last parliamentary election in 2012 was neither free nor fair. He said most lawmakers have lost the Ukrainian people's trust, noting there are "quite a few" members of parliament who support pro-Russian separatists in the east.

Also Monday, the Ukrainian military said it halted a column of Russian tanks and armored vehicles that had crossed into southeastern Ukraine. Kyiv says the fighters were disguised as rebels. It said at least two of the tanks have been destroyed.

Moscow has not commented on the alleged intrusion, which is the latest reported attempt by Moscow to intervene in the separatist insurgency.烏克蘭總統波羅申科星期二將會見俄羅斯總統普京，同時基輔再次指責莫斯科在烏克蘭東部煽動親俄叛亂活動。

歐盟高層官員也將參加在白俄羅斯城市明斯克舉行的會議，這是爲結束持續5個月的衝突而採取的最新外交努力。這場衝突已造成2000多人死亡。

一天前，波羅申科解散了烏克蘭議會，並決定於10月26日提前舉行選舉。他說，選舉對於“清理”議會是必要的。

波羅申科表示，2012年舉行的上次議會選舉既不自由，也不公正。他說，大多數議員已經失去烏克蘭人民的信任。波羅申科還指出，“相當一部分”議員支持烏克蘭東部的親俄分離分子。

烏克蘭軍方星期一說，已經阻止了一支進入烏克蘭東南部的俄羅斯坦克和裝甲車隊。基輔表示，俄羅斯戰鬥人員裝扮成烏克蘭叛亂分子。烏克蘭當局說，至少兩輛俄羅斯坦克被擊毀。

莫斯科尚未對有關入侵的指稱發表評論。這是有關莫斯科試圖干預烏克蘭分離主義叛亂的最新報道。
