About the peace deal
“It is very positive that somebody like Elon Musk is looking for a peaceful way out of this situation,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in a conference call.” Compared to many professional diplomats, Musk is still searching for ways to achieve peace. And achieving peace without fulfilling Russia’s conditions is absolutely impossible,” he added. The same peace deal was criticized by Kyiv saying that the deal that has been proposed by the billionaire favors Russia. In a poll that was posted on Twitter, Elon Musk said that Ukraine should give up Crimea to Russia and then let U.N. decide the future of Russia while Ukraine remains neutral. The response of Kyiv was it will never be willing to give up forcefully and it will join Nato and under no circumstances will it be willing to negotiate with Russia unless and until Putin remains the president of the country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy responded to Musk’s proposal with his own Twitter poll asking: “Which @elonmusk do you like more? One who supports Ukraine (or) one who supports Russia.”
