Zelenskyy responds to Musk’s comments on Russian casualties: These aren’t kind of jokes
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized American billionaire and founder of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, for his remarks regarding Russian casualties in the war against Ukraine.
According to Censor.NET, Zelenskyy made this statement in a teaser for the ZDF Magazin Royale program on YouTube.
"We don't like his attitude toward this war, when he reflects on how Russia is losing soldiers," Zelenskyy said.
The president emphasized that Russian troops are on foreign territory, since Russia is the aggressor.
"As for the aggressor—may God bless them so that they lose soldiers who are on foreign territory, not on their own soil," he added.
Zelenskyy also commented on the possibility that Musk was joking when he spoke about Russian casualties.
"I don't know if he's being serious or just joking around. These aren't the kind of jokes I can understand, even though I understand jokes very well," the president said.
Background
In late October, Musk stated that Russia’s war against Ukraine must end. He also called for compassion toward Russian conscripts, since, in his words, they "have no choice."
