Volodymyr Zelenskyy

The winter package is not only energy, it’s also air defense and funding.

We want to end this war as quick as possible. We don’t see now signals from the Russian side that they are ready for this, to end this war. That’s why we have to prepare for the winter.

Russia is trying to cause a blackout in Ukraine – right before winter.

The sanctions could have helped enormously.

It is unfortunate the US has decided to completely disregard the sanctions.

Putin does not want peace talks at the moment, in any form.

And now we can see how cash will start flowing back into Russia through the diesel deal.

Well, if I do not defend this, who will do it for us? I mean diplomatically.

He is playing with words… It simply looks like a parody of a genuine desire to end the war. He does not want to end the war. I am convinced that this is also why Donbas is not enough for him.

I'm harder to deal with than Putin… And he's easier to deal with than Putin… I mean, Trump is easier for me. I have had several meetings with the president of the United States. And we always find topics to discuss and decisions to make. I…

Our European counterparts now know the minimum number of Patriot missiles needed for the winter package, to be honest. All the leaders have this package. Will the Europeans support us? Yes. I do not yet know in what quantities. I know some…

Ukraine always stands for good-neighbourly relations and mutual strengthening. We agreed to resume joint work at various levels and to exchange visits. Our teams will work out the dates.

This is important, confidence for the neighbours, for the nations, for our relations. We are grateful to all the partners who opened two clusters for us. We are grateful that Hungary also supported these respective steps.

Today, it is not necessary to wage a ground war. Violating airspace is already an invasion.

Europe understands that as long as Ukraine holds out, there will be less escalation with Russia. Everyone recognises this today, 100%.

My proposal to the American side was: okay, we are partners, you need this [cessation of strikes on oil refineries]. Even if all analysts say it won't affect fuel prices, but you still believe it is necessary. However, since they [the…

When the speed was reduced, we were unable to intercept some of the jet-powered Shaheds… In other words, we were unable to use a tool to protect civilians. This is very painful and unpleasant.

We stop most Russian assaults on the front line thanks to drones. We cut Russian supply lines with these technologies. And our drones are helping to weaken Russia's economy. Right now, we could produce two or three times more drones –…

The war will cost €155 billion next year. And we need at least €70 billion more from you – for defence, for weapons and for our resilience. This is a realistic amount. And I ask you to find this support. It will help us hold Russia back.

We constantly need the means to shoot down missiles and drones to protect people's lives and critical infrastructure. New decisions to support Ukraine will come as early as this month. Finland has always helped us, and we greatly…

Together with Finland, we established the Shelter Coalition and now we need to speed up this work. Every Ukrainian city and community must have proper shelters.

Of course, we expect the Lindsey Graham Act to be implemented. This is a matter of political will, and it is now important to show leadership and fully cut off the financial flows sustaining Russia’s war machine.

We can only protect ourselves from this terror by working together, and we discussed how the United States can help save lives.

Definitely it will be gas.
