2. SOUNDBITE (English) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President:
"We spoke with (U.S.) President (Donald) Trump during our last meeting in New York, we spoke not only about Tomahawks, we spoke about, said about HIMARS, and I said about ATACMS. So really, you know, when you have, for example... basically when you have, you know, 40, 50 or 60 ATACMS, between us it's nothing. I know what I say, because when we use, for example, per day, 130-150 (of) our drones, drones of our production, or when we can have to collect and we can have 300 or 350. And when you have during a long period of time, for example, 40 or 50 ATACMS, just for the long period of time, it's nothing."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President:
"That's why if, you know, partners say that we help you with long distance, we help you with ATACMS, in my opinion, it means, you know, ten times more than they give you, to my mind. That's why, if you want to have something and when you want to understand and see real effects, you have to provide to deliver the number which can give you this effect, not just, you know, marketing, not just to say 'okay we gave'."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President:
"You know, I'm trying my best. I'm very open with President Trump and I think you saw it. Yes, I am not finding some special, specific diplomatic way how to speak, and I really count on his pressure, because he has this power. He has this power, pressure on (Russian President, Vladimir) Putin. Pressure on Putin not to attack us by missiles, not to attack us by drones. And you see, I think that he has, that President Trump has success in, now in Gaza."
7. Wide of briefing
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President:
"Of course we know, and of course we think, and, of course, we wish, wish Israeli people and Palestinian people, we wish not to have a war, of course. But, and I hope that they're really very close to (a) peace negotiations, peace deal. I wish them, I wish, it's good, it's good. That's why I think that President Trump has this pressure, and has all these possibilities. And I hope he will use all the instruments, Tomahawks, sanctions, diplomatic way, financing way, tariffs, everything to stop Putin."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President:
"As I said, with all respect to (U.K. Prime Minister) Keir (Starmer) and to people of the UK, so you helped us a lot, but now we need strong partners to join PURL (NATO's Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List). Otherwise, other leaders will not join or will do it slowly. And of course, Keir is a good signal, UK is a good signal, if Keir will decide to join PURL. For us, it's air defense."
