The survey comes as Ukraine,Europe and the US denounce President Vladimir Putin’smove to annex four regions and declare them Russian territory.
In another post,Musk called for the sham referendums conducted by Russia in occupied areas – which led toPutin authorising their annexation – to be redone under UN supervision. He also said Crimea should be formally part of Russia. On Ukraine,he said it should “remain neutral”.
The reaction from Ukraine was immediate. President Volodymyr Zelensky responded by posting his own poll to Twitter asking his followers if they preferred an Elon Musk who supports Ukraine....or Russia.
Mykhailo Podolyak,an adviser to the Ukrainian president’s chief of staff,responded there was “a better peace plan” already that included the liberation of territory,including Crimea.
Andrij Melnyk,Ukraine’s top diplomat in Germany,didn’t mince words,telling the billionaire to “f–k off”.
Since the early days of the war,Musk has provided Starlink dishes to Ukraine,a network that has proved crucial in supporting infrastructure across Ukraine as it counters disinformation from Russia.
