遭占領分隔的烏克蘭夫妻重逢，淚水與喜悅交織

基輔，11月9日（路透）—— 拉麗莎・林多娃趕著去見丈夫，彷彿兩人正要去初次約會——她在車上化好妝、噴上香水。KYIV, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Larysa Ryndova hurried to see her husband as if they were going out on a first date — makeup on and perfume spritzed in the car.

這是她4年半來第一次親眼見到68歲的塞爾希；這段期間，他和其他人一起受困在烏克蘭南部由俄羅斯控制的奧萊什基鎮。It was the first time she had laid eyes on 68-year-old Serhiy in 4-1/2 years — time he had spent trapped with others in the Russian-held town of Oleshky in southern Ukraine.

「我不敢相信你在這裡，」72歲的拉麗莎在基輔一家醫院外與他相擁後不斷重複這句話，睫毛膏被淚水弄花。塞爾希回答：「老實說，我自己也不敢相信。」"I can't believe you are here," Larysa, 72, kept repeating, her mascara smudged with tears after they embraced outside a hospital in Kyiv. "Honestly, I can't believe it myself," Serhiy replied.

兩人上次見面是在2022年。當時俄羅斯全面入侵烏克蘭後，占領已持續3個月，拉麗莎逃往英格蘭，與兒子同住。They last saw each other in 2022 when Larysa fled to England to live with their son, three months into the occupation following Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine.

塞爾希留下來照看家宅，最後困在這座布滿俄軍埋設地雷、且面臨日益嚴重人道危機的城鎮。Serhiy stayed to look after the family home, ending up stuck in the town peppered with Russian-laid landmines and facing a mounting humanitarian crisis.

他帶著諷刺語氣說：「我們本來盼著情況會好轉。結果，確實『好轉』了。」"We hoped for better. Turned out, it got 'better'," he said sarcastically.

奧萊什基居民描述，他們生活在持續不斷的無人機攻擊下，沒有電力，也沒有暖氣。今年春天，食物運送停止後，情況變得更糟。Oleshky's residents described living through constant drone attacks and without power and heating. Things got even worse this spring, when food deliveries stopped.

塞爾希在10月30日與數百名其他居民一起離開。這次撤離是在一項停火期間進行，美國第一夫人梅蘭妮亞・川普（Melania Trump）參與斡旋，教宗良（Pope Leo）也另外參與其中。Serhiy got out on October 30 with hundreds of other residents, evacuated during a ceasefire that US first lady Melania Trump was involved in brokering, with the additional involvement of Pope Leo.

見到拉麗莎固然充滿喜悅——還有即將與3名子女和6名孫輩團聚的盼望——但他發現，逃離奧萊什基對他來說是令人心碎的痛苦割捨。For all the joy of seeing Larysa — and the prospect of being reunited with his three children and six grandchildren — he had found his escape from Oleshky a devastating wrench.

他說：「一想到要把一切都拋在身後，你的心就像被撕裂一樣。你怎麼能離開？你的家、你的家人、墓園——你所有親人都在那裡。」"Your heart is torn apart at the thought of leaving everything behind. How can you? Your home, your family, the cemetery — all your relatives are there," he said.

「你以後要怎麼去掃墓、照顧他們的墓？」"How will you ever visit their graves, keep them cared for?"

「很難認出他」'IT'S HARD TO RECOGNISE HIM'

奧萊什基撤離居民經由巴士和飛機，穿越被占領土地、俄羅斯和白俄羅斯時，拉麗莎也獨自踏上2,000公里（1,200英里）旅程，要去見塞爾希，並帶他一起回英國。As Oleshky's evacuees were moved by buses and planes through occupied land, Russia and Belarus, Larysa set out on her own 2,000-km (1,200-mile) journey to meet Serhiy and bring him back with her to Britain.

當她看到丈夫越境進入烏克蘭的第一批照片時說：「他看起來多憔悴啊，很難認出他。」"How haggard he looks," she said when she saw the first pictures of her husband crossing into Ukraine. "It's hard to recognise him."

塞爾希把奧萊什基稱為「死亡地帶」，在占領下，人的生死可能取決於某一名俄羅斯士兵的心情。Serhiy called Oleshky a "zone of death" where life under occupation could depend on the mood of an individual Russian soldier.

他靠占領期間囤下的人道援助物資活下來——麵條、穀物，有時還有罐裝肉類和魚。他也試著用戰前存放、滿是象鼻蟲的麵粉煎扁麵包。He survived on humanitarian aid that he had stockpiled during the occupation — noodles, grains, sometimes canned meat and fish. He tried frying up flatbreads with flour stored before the war, riddled with weevils.

塞爾希在基輔一家咖啡館喝著咖啡時說：「大概在（今年）4月左右，以前替我們送食物的人死了——兩名男子。那之後，所有食物運送完全停止。什麼都沒有了。」"Sometime around April (this year), the people who used to bring us food died — two men. After that, all food deliveries stopped completely. There was nothing," Serhiy said over a cup of coffee in a Kyiv cafe.

當地人彼此分享手邊有的東西。有些人冒著危險，徒步或騎腳踏車前往20公里外的拉登斯克（Radensk）取得物資。稀少的供應品則以嚴重哄抬的價格出售。Locals shared what they had. Some risked the dangerous 20-km journey on foot or bicycle to Radensk for supplies. Rare provisions were sold at severely inflated prices.

當地醫院用盡了物資。遺體堆放在停屍間，因為法醫專家不願冒險前往鎮上驗屍。The local hospital ran out of supplies. Bodies were stacked up in the morgue, as forensic experts refused to risk the journey to the town to perform autopsies.

塞爾希說：「遺體就那樣躺著，到處都在滲漏。我的鄰居過世時，我把他的遺體搬進去，那味道實在可怕極了。」「天啊！」"Bodies are just lying there. Everything is leaking. When my neighbour died, I carried his body in there, and the smell was absolutely horrific," Serhiy said. "God forbid!"

另一名鄰居曾請他，如果她哪天遇害，就把她埋在自家庭院裡。Another neighbour asked him to bury her in her own courtyard if she ever got killed.

塞爾希說，若不是因為這次撤離，他自己大概不會離開這座城鎮。所有道路上、甚至鎮內都布了地雷。Serhiy said he probably would not have left the town himself had it not been for the evacuation. Landmines were laid out on all the roads and even in the town.

他補充說：「照我理解，他們（俄軍）有自己的目標：把所有地方都布雷，好讓一切都在他們控制之下。」"They (Russian troops) had their own objective, as I understand it: to mine everything so they could keep everything under control," he added.

「奧萊什基有很多人被炸死。有人出去摘櫻桃李，結果被炸飛。也有人撿蘑菇或堅果時踩到地雷。」"A lot of people were killed in Oleshky. Someone would go out to pick a cherry plum and get blown up. Someone else would pick up a mushroom or a nut and step on a landmine."

塞爾希說，在有組織的撤離開始前，俄軍為了做樣子，「把現場清理得非常徹底」。一路上，他沒有看到任何一輛燒毀的汽車。Serhiy said Russian troops "had done a great job of cleaning up" to put on a show before the organised evacuations began. He didn't see a single burnt-out car on the way.

他說，儘管經歷占領的苦難與食物短缺，他確信自己本來還能再撐過一個冬天。He said he felt sure he could have survived another winter, despite the ordeal of occupation and food shortages.

拉麗莎翻了個白眼，眼裡仍含著淚。Larysa rolled her eyes, still wet with tears.

她說：「我要用羅宋湯和瓦列尼基餃子（varenyky）把他養胖。」"I'll fatten him up with borscht and varenyky (dumplings)," she said.
