"German Patriot and IRIS, other systems in particular Gerard have already saved tens of thousands of people and hundreds of infrastructure objects in Ukraine. This is Germany’s historic contribution to the protection of life. Literally every day and every night, Russian terror proves that such support needs to be increased."

6. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian), Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine:
"I gave an example of how we are currently looking for ways to protect two dozen special objects. We don’t have enough systems because of such dense missile strikes. We simply do not have enough systems. This is a serious issue for us. Questions about Taurus. After all, Olaf and I have many very common views on some issues, and we have different views on some issues. We are working on making sure that we have more in common on the Taurus issue. This challenge for us is basically a long-range weapon."

8. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian), Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine:
"We share information on how to strengthen Ukraine at the front, as well as how to strengthen Ukraine externally. We really need it. We do not know yet and we very much hope that the support of the United States of America and the new administration will be strong, preferably even stronger. And that the policy of the United States will not change. First of all, we should already be talking about it here in Europe."

12. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian), Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine:
"I knew that the chancellor would communicate with the Russian side. It’s true, Olaf talked about it and just like Olaf knew my attitude towards it. I really believe that Putin’s isolation in sanctions and diplomatic, etc. – it strengthens Ukraine more and weakens Putin."

14. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian), Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine:
"What should Russia do? Preferably go for three letters (implying a profanity in Ukrainian). It is desirable that it (Russia) understands what it is doing, what it is doing is killing us. And we defend ourselves and fight the enemy. So far, our plans have not changed, because we really want to be stronger so that this war will end this year, in the year 2025."
