Zelensky:

Russia has claims against our neighbor Moldova. It constantly threatens Poland and the Baltic states.

Russia shows no respect for the statehood of the countries of the South Caucasus and Central Asia.

And sadly, people in Syria and across Africa also know very well what Russian killers are.

Zelensky on Putin:

Something always seems to stop him from simply saying, "That's it. Enough."

Something always stops him from admitting that 17 million, 17 million square kilometers of his own territory, internationally recognized by all of you, should be enough for this man.

Putin is always looking for someone who can help him kill more, kill more people for every kilometer of land, take more territory.

Zelensky:

The more freedom Putin has to act, the more dangerous the world becomes for everyone else.

That’s why patient zero must be stopped. He must be denied the space to act and the space to spread this evil.

Zelensky:

Many of you here, many of you here, seeing more than once how they abuse the veto at the UN — it weakens the world and pushes peace further away.

When Russia has money, it always says no, no to diplomacy.

Zelensky:

Russia's budget deficit is now bigger than in any other year, and most Russian regions are already bankrupt.

Russia planned major operations on the front this summer — all of them failed.

Russia's bets on cruise missiles and Shaheds didn't work the way Putin planned.

Zelensky:

Just imagine this: since the beginning of this year, Russia has already used more than 2,100 missiles of different types against us, against Ukraine, our people, and our children.

More than 950 of them were ballistic missiles.

In eight months of this year, Russia used 63,000 attack drones of different types against Ukraine, our people.

And more than 7,700 of them were jet-powered Shaheds — truly destructive and very dangerous weapons. Just think about it.

Zelensky:

Today, even the richest countries in the world can't find enough missile interceptors — current production is simply not enough.

And even those who spent years building up interceptor stocks have already used a large part of them.

Zelensky:

Yes, sometimes it may seem that Ukraine is only focused on war because we speak about weapons and defense. But Ukrainians did not choose this war.

We chose not to die, not to lose our country, our families, not to lose our independence, our freedom.

Zelensky:

When Russia started this war, it could never have imagined that Ukrainian long-range drones would one day reach its military factories somewhere in Siberia.

Zelensky:

No Russian official ever imagined that "General Winter," which had fought on Russia's side for centuries, would one day switch sides and support those defending themselves from Russia.

We will make that happen this winter if Russia continues to target our energy system and our heating.

Zelensky:

Unfortunately, we have not had a chance to speak directly with the leader of China, who is in America today but not here.

And he is someone who can influence Russia more than many, many others can.

Zelensky:

This winter could be very harsh for us, but in response, we will have no choice but to make it painful for Russia too.

Zelensky on Putin:

Russia's leader, patient zero, the man from whom this war began and spread into the world, becoming the largest war in Europe since World War II, will inevitably leave this world.

But the longer Putin is able to wage war, the more evil he will leave behind in this world.

Zelensky:

We know that Russia uses citizens of 47 countries in its war in Ukraine — Ghana, Nepal, Tajikistan, India, Yemen, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Belarus, Sudan, South Africa, and many, many others.

I want to speak directly to every representative of these 47 countries: you know what Russia is doing with your people. They're your citizens. Take care of them and do not let them end up on another front.

Do not let Putin drag you into this war. Do not let Russia put out its fires, cover up its shame, and pay for its madness with the lives of your people.

Zelensky:

We need to slow down the rapid development of weapons for killing before we reach the next stage, because as early as next year, there is already a real possibility that AI, not only people, will begin to decide what happens on the battlefield.

And we need peace before we reach that point.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

Russia is escalating because Russia's leadership is panicking. After more than four years of a senseless colonial war, Putin has achieved nothing.

He's running out of troops and resources and needs a pretext to mobilize. His unnecessary war has killed or wounded one and a half million Russians.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

To the representatives of the Russian Federation, I have this to say: You have been trying to conquer Donbas for over 12 years, and Kyiv for over four.

You have been stopped by heroic Ukraine, a country with one tenth of Russia's GDP.

But Poland has almost half of your GDP. Europe has 10 times your GDP. NATO has 25 times your GDP.

You can still kill a lot of people, but you cannot win.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on AI:

The paradox is that we have these techno oligarchs investing in a technology that many of their workers say could kill and end humanity. And at the same time, these technical oligarchs are investing massively in immortality.

I think that what we need is serious regulation, responsible development of AI, and not bunkers and Mars missions for saving the techno oligarchs.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

The situation of the far right is not coming from a specific content but from a specific tool, which is social media and the algorithm.

Because it is poisoning the public debate. It is contributing to dehumanize many political actors. I’m also a victim of it.
