可惜泰晤士報的付費牆超厚，連一點內文都看不到，不過它的官方推特仍摘了些可以補充的內容，試翻譯一下：

President Putin is set to demonstrate his willingness to use weapons of mass
destruction with a nuclear test on Ukraine's borders, Nato is believed to havewarned its members

北約據信已經示警各成員國，指俄羅斯總統普丁正準備在烏克蘭邊境核試爆，以向外界展現他使用大規模毀滅性武器的決心。

The Kremlin has been signalling its readiness for a significant escalation asRussia loses ground on the battlefield

由於俄羅斯的戰局失利，克里姆林宮對外傳達它們正準備讓情勢「大幅升級」。

Fears over Putin's earlier hints that he might resort to such tactics
heightened yesterday with claims that a train operated by the secretive
nuclear division was destined for Ukraine

普丁早前就已暗示他可能會訴諸這樣的策略，而一列與核武部隊有關的火車往烏克蘭駛去的消息傳出後，讓外界對情勢的擔憂更上層樓。

Konrad Muzyka, a Poland-based defence analyst, said the train, spotted in
central Russia, was linked to the 12th main directorate of the Russian
ministry of defence and that it was "responsible for nuclear munitions,
their storage, maintenance, transport, and issuance to units"

波蘭國防分析師Konrad Muzyka表示，在俄羅斯中部捕捉到的列車畫面，其與國防部第十二管理總局有關，該局的任務就是「負責核武事宜，包括核武的貯存、維護、運輸，以及投入到部隊等」。

A senior defence source, however, said that a more likely demonstration of
Putin's readiness to use nuclear weapons could come in the Black Sea

不具名的國防部高層官員則說，普丁更可能會在黑海展現出他準備動用核武的意念。

Although they believed such a show of force would be more likely, they said
it was "not impossible" that Putin could fire a tactical nuclear weapon in
Ukraine. If he chose to do so, he faced a significant risk

雖然數名消息人士認為，目前看來更可能的是在「秀肌肉」，但是他們也說，向烏克蘭發射戰術核武器「並非不可能之事」；若普丁執意如此，將面臨「巨大風險」。

The source said:

"They could misfire and accidentally hit a Russian city close to the
Ukrainian border such as Belgorod"

消息人士表示：「他們有可能會誤射，不小心打中俄羅斯境內的邊境城市，例如貝哥羅」。

Nato is said to have sent an intelligence report to its members and allies
alerting them to Russia's plans to test its nuclear-capable torpedo drone,
Poseidon, dubbed the "weapon of the apocalypse"

北約據信已經向成員國及盟友發送情報，示警俄羅斯正準備試航有「末日武器」之稱、可搭載核武器的無人潛艦「波賽頓」。

The Russian submarine K-329 Belgorod, which is carrying Poseidon, is believedto be headed to the Arctic. According to La Repubblica newspaper, it is aboutto be tested in the area of the Kara Sea

據信能夠搭載波賽頓的K-329「貝哥羅號」潛艦目前正往北及航行；義大利「共和國報」指波賽頓可能會在卡拉海試航。

Russia acknowledged that Ukrainian forces had broken through its defences in
the southern Kherson region. A defence ministry spokesman, told reporters
that the Ukrainians had seized territory thanks to "superior tank units"
and had "penetrated into the depths of our defence"

莫斯科當局承認，烏克蘭已經突破俄軍在赫爾松地區的防線，國防部發言人表示，烏克蘭的坦克部隊「更為優越」，能夠「直搗我軍防線深處」，讓烏軍成功奪回部分土地。

不如來開賭盤，看俄羅斯會不會真的核彈壓下去，順便賭賭看是在海裡還是陸上試爆= =

俄羅斯的軍隊表現之差，出乎絕大多數人的意料之外，但就算成為一個賤民國家(pariahstate)，他們終究有核武而讓世界各國投鼠忌器，真是令人感慨萬千。
