Volodymyr Zelensky

Zelensky on Putin:

"Putin is building a Russia that looks like North Korea, where children are raised from childhood for war and to die for their leader.

Therefore, Russia will not cease to be dangerous.

And it is our Ukrainian strength, our army and our technologies that also help guarantee European security, your security."

Zelensky to Europe:

"The war will cost €155 billion next year. And we need at least another €70 billion from you for defense, weapons and our resilience.

This is a realistic amount. And I ask you to find this support. It will help us deter Russia."

Zelensky:

"We cannot accept diesel deals, these arrangements, because then there will be gas agreements. I'm sure of that.

Sanctions will be lifted after gas."

Zelensky:

"Sometimes we may think that Ukraine is using Starlink for deep strikes against Russia. No, that's not the case."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says European allies hold enough Patriot missiles to get Ukraine through the winter.

Trump:

They gave Zelensky massive amounts of Patriots, of Tomahawks, of everything.

And they didn't make him pay.

Trump on Zelensky:

I find Zelensky to be more difficult to deal with than Putin.

Zelensky:

"Iranians have missiles and drones with ranges of 4,000 kilometers and more. Who in Europe has the capability to launch a massive attack or defend against thousands of drones with ranges of more than 4,000 kilometers? Nobody."

Zelensky:

I said to Trump that we can do it very quickly. If you will not close Starlink for us, if you will open Starlink on the territory of Russia, we will destroy his ballistic launchers, and that's it for him.

He will sit and speak, and I will not destroy any energy facilities. I don't need it.

Give us Starlink. Open it for us. But they closed it. They didn't make it wider. They made it smaller.

It's a very serious mistake.

Zelensky:

"Putin can't do anything on the territory of Ukraine today without big losses.

He can move one kilometer, two kilometers, ten kilometers, and there are a lot of losses as a result of these kilometers."

Zelensky:

"I understand that Trump has a lot of challenges.

Somebody is moving him in the wrong direction."

Zelensky:

We don't want to be involved in some diesel deal. I don't want to be involved.

If he attacks us, we will respond. This is our rule. Don't involve us in some diesel deals.

Zelensky:

"The question is: Can you give me missiles for Patriot?

Because when I don't attack them, because you asked me not to attack them, they will attack me.

It's fair if you give me something with which to defend myself. That's the minimum I'm asking for.

And when I'm asking this, your answer is blocking Starlink."

Zelensky on the U.S. intelligence cutoff:

The message to Kyiv was "don't attack, because maybe you will have problems with intelligence." At the military level, before that, the warning was explicit: if Ukraine did not stop, intelligence would be blocked.

Washington later framed it as "technological problems at some level."

"When it comes together with Starlink's decision, which was 100% a decision of the American side, it creates huge problems."

Zelensky:

"I said to my military people that during the energy ceasefire, we would not attack Russian refineries or anything connected with diesel.

Because even if we are right, and we are right, somebody will say that we broke the energy ceasefire. I don't want to play this game.

That's why, for three days, we didn't attack any of Russia's energy or diesel infrastructure.

And for three days, they attacked us."

Zelensky:

"Security guarantees directly from the United States are a good way, but we need more details. What does it mean?

It means if Putin attacks, Trump attacks Putin.

If I have on paper just this: 'If Putin attacks Ukraine, Trump will attack Putin', that's a security guarantee."

Zelensky:

Not Trump, not Musk, not anybody in the world can choose the president of Ukraine. It’s the people of Ukraine that can do that.

Zelensky on Trump's energy ceasefire and diesel deal with Putin: "This is not the right side of history."

He says he feels betrayed.
