++QUALITY AS INCOMING++
1. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President: ++STARTS ON WIDE++
"We have finished a conversation with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. We are very grateful for the support, and what we heard is very important for us. Naturally, the top priority is energy. As we said earlier, we are organising a video meeting on this format with the leaders who support Ukraine’s energy sector, chaired by President Ursula and myself, along with our other partners. I think this will take place in about a week."

2. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President:
"We are working to cover the amount needed for gas imports, among other issues that are very important for us. At this point, we understand that we are short about 750 million of the 2 billion (euros) which we discussed in relation to gas. Just now, President Ursula said that we will receive another approximately 127 million euros ($146 million) in support. We are grateful for that."

3. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President:
"Regarding the battlefield - Kupiansk. Up to 60 Russian personnel remain in Kupiansk. Clearing operations are underway; we will clear everything. We know, in principle, the set dates - they were discussed at the headquarters. We will not share that information for now. The Lyman direction is unchanged. We see a stabilisation of the situation. In Kramatorsk - no changes. Kostyantynivka - fighting is ongoing, the situation is so far unchanged."

4. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President:
"Dobropillia - it is not easy. Our operation continues. The Commander-in-Chief said that we have cleared about two-and-a-half to three kilometres this weekend. But Russia understands that it has completely lost the initiative there. And we understand that they are preparing a revanche (comeback). It is clear they are concentrating troops; from intercepted communications and all signs we see this."

5. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President:
"Pokrovsk - the enemy has had no success in recent days. About 26% to 30% of all combat actions on the front are taking place in Pokrovsk. Regarding the use of glide bombs - 50% of all glide bomb deployments are directed at Pokrovsk. So you can understand how difficult it is for our soldiers. In Pokrovsk, as we said earlier, there are several hundred (Russian) personnel. We estimate there are between 260 and 300 Russians there."

6. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President: ++STARTS ON WIDE++
"We have received a very good signal from President Ursula von der Leyen - the report on our progress toward the European Union, the annual report. This year, our report is the best in all three years. It’s a signal of progress in various areas. Of course, there will be a detailed report, but the most important thing is that it’s the best in three years. I want to thank our diplomatic team - first and foremost, the diplomatic one. The Enlargement Package Report itself will be published officially in the coming days - tomorrow or the day after."
