London, July 19 (EFE).- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has admitted it would be \u201chard work\u201d to deal with Donald Trump if he wins the US presidential race.<\/p>
Before speaking at a British government meeting in London on Friday, the Ukrainian president expressed his willingness to work with whoever is in power in the US after the presidential election in November.<\/p>
It Trump is re-elected as US president, it will be \u201chard work, but we are hard workers,\u201d Zelenskyy told BBC.<\/p>
The Ukrainian president\u2019s remarks came after Trump announced that Ohio Senator JD Vance will be his running mate in the November vote. <\/p>
Vance, 39, has said in the past that he “doesn’t care what happens to Ukraine.”<\/p>
Vance’s candidacy for vice president has renewed concerns that US commitment with Ukraine could fade if the Republican politician returns to the White House.<\/p>
\u201cMaybe he really doesn\u2019t understand what goes on in Ukraine, so we have to work with the United States,\u201d Zelenskyy said. <\/p>
He also noted that he does not expect the UK’s position towards Ukraine, under the new British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, to change.<\/p>
\u201cBut I would like for Prime Minister Starmer to become special – speaking about international politics, about defending world security, about the war in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>
The Ukrainian leader is in the United Kingdom to attend a meeting of the European Political Community (EPC), where he delivered a speech on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>
The EPC includes 27 members of the European Union (EU) and 20 non-members like the UK. EFE<\/p>
