Zelensky: Trump Would Be Hard Work, But We Are Hard Workers
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed his willingness to work with any US leader, including former President Donald Trump, if he were to return to power. Zelensky acknowledged that working with Trump would be challenging but emphasized Ukraine’s determination to build strong relationships with any US administration.
When asked about the possibility of Trump’s return to the White House, Zelensky replied, “We are hard workers, and we understand that any leader of any country can be a challenge to work with. But we are ready to work with anyone who is in power in the US.”
Zelensky’s comments come at a time when Ukraine is seeking increased military aid from the US to counter Russian aggression. Ukraine has received significant support from the Biden administration, but there are concerns about the potential impact of a change in US leadership on Ukraine’s military aid.
Zelensky’s willingness to work with Trump may come as a surprise to some, given the former president’s controversial stance on Ukraine. Trump’s phone call with Zelensky in 2019, which led to his impeachment, centered on Trump’s request for Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Despite this, Zelensky emphasized the importance of maintaining good relations with the US, saying, “We value our relationship with the US, and we believe that our partnership is crucial for maintaining peace and stability in Europe.”
Zelensky also discussed Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to join NATO and the EU, saying, “We are committed to our European and Euro-Atlantic integration. We believe that our future lies in the West, and we will continue to work towards our goals.”
The Ukrainian leader’s comments come as the country marks its Independence Day, celebrating 31 years since breaking away from Soviet rule. Zelensky’s government has faced numerous challenges, including the ongoing conflict with Russian-backed separatists in the east and a struggling economy.
However, Zelensky remains optimistic about Ukraine’s future, saying, “We have come a long way since our independence, and we are proud of our achievements. We will continue to work towards a better future for our people.”
