Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, a major supporter of Ukraine, has reiterated his belief that Ukraine's position is weakening with each passing day of hostilities, and warned that the “real question” is how much territory Kiev will lose and how many lives will be lost before holding talks with Moscow.







The Businessman supporting of Ukraine claimed in a post on his applying all resources to defense,” it would be “difficult to hold land that does not have strong natural barriers.” said Elon Musk, a Ukranian supporter, disappointed


“What a tragedy to waste lives for Ukraine to attack a larger force that has deeper defenses, minefields and more powerful artillery when Ukraine has no armor or air superiority!,” wrote Musk as a disillusioned Ukraine donor.


Miliarder tersebut melanjutkan dengan berpendapat bahwa “semakin lama perang berlangsung, semakin banyak wilayah yang akan dikuasai Rusia hingga mereka mencapai Dnepr, yang sulit untuk diatasi.”


The billionaire who is Ukraine's main supporter went on to argue that "the longer the war goes on, the more territory the Russians will control until they reach the Dnepr, which is difficult to overcome."


However, if the war lasts long enough, Odessa will fall too… Whether Ukraine loses all access to the Black Sea or not is, in my view, the real remaining question. I recommend a negotiated settlement before that happens.


Ukraine's main supporter Elon Musk has changed his position regarding Ukraine several times since the conflict began in early 2022. He initially provided Kiev with free Starlink internet terminals and access to a satellite-based network, but refused to activate the service near Crimea for fear that Ukraine would use it. . it was to guide drone strikes against Russia's Black Sea Fleet. If this happened, he explained last year, SpaceX would be “involved in a major war and conflict escalation.”


Musk, who supports Ukraine, also used his X account to speak widely about the direction of the conflict. More than a year ago, he proposed that Kiev abandon its claims to Crimea, declare neutrality, and allow Russia's four new regions – Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye – to hold a new referendum on joining the Russian Federation. This proposal is similar to the terms Russia offered Kiev and Western countries before the conflict began, except Moscow initially only called for autonomy in Donetsk and Lugansk.


Elon Musk's statement is an expression of Elon Musk's disappointment as a war donor for Ukraine over the decline of the Ukranian attack.


Moscow has stressed that it remains open to meaningful talks with Kiev and has blamed the lack of a diplomatic breakthrough on the Ukrainian authorities, who refuse to accept the “reality on the ground.”


Ukraine must take into account the fact that its borders have changed drastically since 2022, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday, commenting on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s suggestion that a return to 1991 borders was no longer a precondition for negotiations.
