泽连斯基致普京：《决斗挑战书》（代笔）

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Duel Challenge to Russian President Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Putin,

For three years, the war you launched has ravaged our lands. Countless lives have been lost, families torn apart, once-thriving cities reduced to ashes. Millions have been driven from their homes, and the world watches in anguish as the devastation continues.

Yet, throughout this tragedy, you have remained sheltered within the Kremlin, orchestrating destruction from the shadows while sending young soldiers to die in your place. You force the innocent to bear the weight of your vicious ambitions. Even your own troops whisper of your cowardice.

Today, I challenge you—let us end this war with our own hands. No more bloodshed of our people. No more suffering of our nations.

Let fate and history judge us. Let the heavens decide the future of Ukraine and Russia. Whoever falls, the war ends.

To ensure fairness, I propose a formal duel: Pistols at ten paces, a single shot each, at a neutral location such as Minsk, Belarus, under international supervision. This is the way true leaders should settle their conflicts—not by sacrificing their people, but by staking their own lives.

Putin, do you dare accept my challenge?

If you still possess any shred of courage and sense of honor, then stand and face me—instead of cowering behind your palace walls.

The world and I await your response.

With unshaken resolve,

Volodymyr Zelensky
President of Ukraine
March 7, 2025 – Kyiv

乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基向俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京发出的决斗挑战书

弗拉基米尔·普京：

三年来，你发动的战争蹂躏着我们的土地。无数生命在战火中逝去，家庭被撕裂，曾经繁荣的城市化为灰烬。数百万人民被迫流离失所，而世界只能眼睁睁地看着这场浩劫持续上演，痛苦不堪。

然而，在这场悲剧中，你却始终躲藏在克里姆林宫内，暗中操控战争，让年轻士兵替你赴死，让无辜者承受你野心的恶果。甚至你的军队也在私下议论你的懦弱。

今天，我向你发出挑战——让我们用自己的双手终结这场战争。不要再让我们的人民流血，不要再让我们的国家受苦。

让命运和历史裁决我们，让苍天决定乌克兰和俄罗斯的未来。无论谁倒下，这场战争都将结束。

为了确保公平，我提议一场正式决斗：在白俄罗斯明斯克等中立地点，按照国际监督，双方各持手枪，相距十步，各开一枪。 真正的领袖应当用自己的性命来解决纷争，而不是牺牲他们的人民。

普京，你敢接受我的挑战吗？

如果你还有一丝勇气和荣誉感，那就站出来迎战，而不是继续躲在你的宫殿里。

世界和我在等待你的回应。

坚定不移，

弗洛基米尔·泽连斯基
乌克兰总统
