Elon Musk has stirred up controversy again. In social media, the American entrepreneur suggested that the Ukrainians should agree to a series of demands from Russia in order to end the war and avoid further victims. Musk’s entry met with a huge outrage. Among others, the President of Lithuania, and a Ukrainian diplomat addressed the issue.
“Ukraine-Russia Peace: Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people; Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake); Water supply to Crimea assured; Ukraine remains neutral,” Musk proposed.
Ukraine-Russia Peace:
– Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.
– Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).
– Water supply to Crimea assured.
– Ukraine remains neutral.

Also worth noting that a possible, albeit unlikely, outcome from this conflict is nuclear war

“Let’s try this then: the will of the people who live in the Donbas & Crimea should decide whether they’re part of Russia or Ukraine,” Musk proposed and created another poll.

“Dear Elon Musk, when someone tries to steal the wheels of your Tesla, it doesn’t make them legal owner of the car or of the wheels. Even though they claim both voted in favor of it. Just saying,” the President of Lithuania commented the whole situation.

Moreover, the Ukrainian diplomat and international lawyer Andrij Melnyk also commented on this case. As it might be seen, he was enraged by Musk’s tweets.
Fuck off is my very diplomatic reply to you @elonmusk
