Ukraine’s Zelensky: a new Trump presidency would be “hard work”| BBC News
Ukraine’s President Zelensky has told the BBC that if Donald Trump becomes the next US President, dealing with the new team in the White House would be “hard work, but we are not afraid of hard work”.
In an exclusive interview, Mr Zelensky said that “nobody in the world” could push Ukraine into an unjust peace deal with Russia that meant the permanent loss of Ukrainian territory.
Mr Trump has previously suggested that he could end the war between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours. Mr Zelensky said that the “simple way” to do that would be to push Ukraine to “pay the price” of a peace deal by giving away land to Russia, but he said his country would never accept that.
Mr Zelensky was speaking at Blenheim Palace in the UK where he joined dozens of leaders and the UK’s new prime minister Keir Starmer, to discuss how they could help support Ukraine in its war with Russia.

Zelensky is way more afraid of Trump win then the dems 😂
This guy got his country into a war. trump will not give him weapons for free. We are paying tax, and most of it goes to this guy pocket
Ukrainian can't win against Russia. it's not hard to understand.

The world doesn't revolve around Ukraine and its comedian President.
😂😂😂.Englezi podržavaju klovna više nego Ukrajinci!Blago njima!Baš me zanima kako će se ponašati kad Tramp ❤ bude predsjednik SAD!Hoće li i tad podržavati fašiste iz Ukrajine!
Zelenski had an moment of elation and heart break in less than 3 minutes.
why would anyone make a comedian a president
Getting difficult to sell the war.
It's not BBC . It's b/s
There won't be hard work anymore Zelensky because Trump won't fund you anymore. But of course we all know that Trump won't stop the war, the deep state has already invested a lot from Ukraine and they need to recoup the investments whatsoever.
He’s tanned; buddy spent some nice vacation in italy
BBC won't ask real questions. "So, how much does Ukraine earn from storing EU's excess LNG?" , "So, how much of the land RU currently occupies was leased out to Western Ag firms before the war?" , "Why is having a Western-friendly Ukraine so important to the EU??"
He's already crying about how Trump will stop the corruption money
Did you saw the Zelensky Bentley? He has one limited edition. His wife did shopping and both $40000 bag. WTF clown.
I congratulate Ukraine on winning the war. Lol
The green turd going down the toilet😂
Zeleshki puppet of western country. Zeleshki use by western country. Western country history repeated by ukrain .zeleshki open your eyes
Zeleshki are u here ? Not going ukrain people?
Thanks to this interview, I understood why NATO is attacking civilian objects in Russia.
Zelensky is now digging out his comedian outfit, ready for a 180 degree change in career…back to being a comedian.
Wait, It’s easy work now? 🧐
is better that the midget clown travelling begger zelensky get ready for it becouse is coming. some regulations about FAKE NEWS would help too so BBC should be worried!
Trump presidency would be “hard work to beg and secure more money”
Zelensky is a loser anyway you look at it, he's not even a legitimate president.
Typical bbc.
From the times they were defending and providing cover for colnialesm to now propagating wok riligeon and their working ways and dogmass.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
BBC is a joke….
Who are better: those giving you money, or those teaching you how to become rich?
Why should Ukraine depend on what happens in other countries instead of forging its own future…it has enough resources than a dozen of countries .
The west is over misleading zalensky
This journalist is a complete plonker, putting words in his mouth, Trump could mistake the hard work comment and completely change the faith of the Ukrainian people
Stupid BBC … stupid questions, stupid interview, topical
its hard for zeleny boy because his source of income is in danger
Amenyire aljas ez a színész, biztos nem fél. Van pénz bőven Ursula nyomja, hiszen amerikai érdeke van. Nem normálisak az EU képviselők akik őt megválasztották. Féltik a jó életüket. A poloska petinek Ursula visszatartotta a Hazánknak járó pénzt, nehogy Orbán Kormány kapja meg. Bezzeg petike megkaphatja a jó életéhez, ő aztán nem korrupt?
😂😂😂😂😂😂 puppit of west😅😅😅
this is jock
You've got to laugh at the Russian bots in here pretending to be UK citizens.😂
Ukraine the biggest trick pulled on mankind
You all such a clowns and false information, it damages the people, people’s trust in facts not narrative on fake propaganda news ,
How you will feel when the truth comes out , such a shame on your media and your people
😂😂😂
Why are these comments full of Putin propaganda? Maybe russian bots have invaded us.
So a Biden presidency was easy ?
He keeps going by hiding in his rat hole.
What a delusional president 😂
The free money is over.. the war is lost.
It looks Zelensky, who's presidency has ended couple of months ago, leads Ukrainians to an impasse.
He doubled casualties of Ukrainian troops around NATO summit time, brought it to 14 000 killed and wounded weekly, trying to show some success on battlefield, but without success. As Zelensky and his predecessor Poroshenko were saying: battlefield is Ukrainian diplomacy and Ukrainian troops are the best negotiators.
What is the purpose and the price of these "negotiations"?
Why not #BBC ask him about Democratic election. You agree that if the war takes 10 or 20 years, it is ok for #BBC while harassing African leades that have 10 years developement plan.
