瓦格纳事件后,CIA局长联系了俄方
据美国《纽约时报》网站6月30日报道,在瓦格纳事件发生后,美国中央情报局(CIA)局长威廉·伯恩斯与俄罗斯方面进行了联系,向俄方传递了一个信息,那就是美国没有参与俄罗斯的这次内部事件。
报道称,伯恩斯打电话给俄罗斯对外情报局局长谢尔盖·纳雷什金,后者听取了电话简报,并要求匿名讨论情报事宜。在此次通话之前,两人至少在土耳其见过一次面,当时讨论了对俄罗斯乌克兰战争核升级威胁的担忧。
Mr. Burns called Sergei Naryshkin, the leader of Russia’s foreign intelligence service, which is known as the S.V.R., said the official, who was briefed on the call and spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters. The two men have met at least once before, in Turkiye, to discuss concerns over the threat of nuclear escalation in Russia’s war in Ukraine.
报道指出,伯恩斯主动与俄方进行的这次联系是白宫向普京和他的核心圈传递信息的一部分。美方想对俄方表明,它与瓦格纳集团领导人叶夫根尼·普里戈任的行动没有关系,也不寻求挑起俄罗斯国内局势紧张。

拜登政府煞费苦心地向俄罗斯官员强调,美国没有参与叶夫根尼·普里戈任和他的瓦格纳私人军事公司将俄罗斯国防官员从俄罗斯南部的办公室赶走或前往莫斯科的行动,美国将此事视为俄罗斯内政。
The Biden administration has taken pains to emphasize to Russian officials that the United States was not involved in the aborted efforts by Yevgeny V. Prigozhin and his Wagner private military company to drive Russian defense officials from their offices in southern Russia or in their march to Moscow, and that the U.S. viewed the matter as an internal Russian affair.
值得一提的是,《华尔街日报》早些时候报道称,中央情报局周五拒绝就此事发表评论。
The CIA declined on Friday to comment on the matter, which was earlier reported by The Wall Street Journal.
