Putin calls Volgograd bomb attacks "abomination"
普京稱伏爾加格勒襲擊令人痛恨
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday called the two deadly bombings in Volgograd an "abomination." The president visited the city where more than 34 people were killed earlier this week in back-to-back suicide bombings. He stopped by the hospital where a number of the injured are recovering. He later laid flowers at a memorial at the scene of one of the bombings. In a meeting with security officials, Putin said that Russia would find a way to keep citizens safe.
周一，俄羅斯總統普京稱伏爾加格勒兩起致命爆炸事件“令人痛恨”。本周初，這座城市連續遭遇兩起自殺式爆炸襲擊，超過34人遇難。普京走訪了幾名傷者接受治療的醫院，隨后在一起爆炸的現場紀念碑前奉上鮮花。與安全官員召開會議時，普京表示，俄羅斯將會找到保障公民安全的方法。
(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) RUSSIAN PRESIDENT, VLADIMIR PUTIN, SAYING: "The abomination of this crime that was - or crimes that were - committed here, in Volgograd don't need any additional commentary. No matter what motivated the criminals' actions,there is no justification for committing crimes against civilians, especially against women and children."
俄羅斯總統普京：“伏爾加格勒發生的令人憎惡的罪行不需任何多余的評論。無論犯罪分子這種行為的動機是什么，對平民實施犯罪行為都是不正當的，尤其是對婦女和兒童。”
The bombings have raised fears of further attacks before Russia hosts the Winter Olympics in February in Sochi. The city lies at the Western edge of the Caucasus Mountains, within a strip of land that insurgents want to turn into an Islamic State. Putin has increased security following the blasts. More than 5,000 police and interior ministry troops have mobilized in Volgograd.
這兩起爆炸導致人們擔心2月份俄羅斯索契舉辦冬季奧運會之前會發生更多襲擊事件。這座城市位于高加索山脈西部邊緣，反叛分子試圖把這片狹長的土地變成伊斯蘭國家。爆炸過后，普京加強了安全措施。超過5,000名警察和內政部軍隊已經入住伏爾加格勒。
