Zelensky:

Ukraine received $100 billion in aid from the US, not $350 billion.

Zelensky:

This is a fact. I am not going to accept the 500 billion claim. Whether someone likes it or not.

Zelensky:

I am not even ready to discuss paying $100 billion to Washington because part of it was a grant, not a loan.

Zelensky:

I agreed with Biden that this is a grant, a grant is not a debt.

Zelensky:

I know how to sign deals with serious people.

Zelensky on mineral deal:

I will not sign something that will later be paid by 10 generations of Ukrainians.

Zelensky on the mineral deal:

The agreement states that for every dollar of US aid, Ukraine must return 2.

Zelensky:

We are communicating with American partners right now. There is no more $500 billion and no more interest. We are moving forward.

Zelensky:

Trump is not forever, but we need peace for many years.

Zelensky:

Strategic partners must have the desire to sign agreements, and I want our agreement with the US to be without scandals.

Security guarantees should be spelled out in the agreement, not just in the words of the US.

Zelensky on US aid to Ukraine:

Nothing has been stopped, but nothing new has been announced.

German Federal Election Commission announces that voter turnout in legislative elections reached 52% compared to 36% in 2021.

Netanyahu:

We demand the complete demilitarization of southern Syria from military forces of the new regime.

Zelensky:

We need 20 Patriot systems now.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent:

The West's plans for Ukraine include the possible deployment of European troops, but without NATO's participation.

Zelensky:

It is wrong to disconnect us from Starlink, especially since we pay for these services every month.

Zelensky:

There have been no hints that the US may stop providing aid to Ukraine so far.

Zelensky:

Frozen Russian assets are our money. Our money, not ours and our partners.

Zelensky:

Previously, Ukraine's funding was distributed as follows: 30% from the US, 30% from Europe, 40% - own funds.

This year, Ukraine's share will exceed 50%

Zelensky:

There is a significant difference between Trump's claim of 4% and the real 65% of my approval. This is evidenced by the polls.
