    I want the best for Ukrainian people, and that means ending a war they should have never provoked. Zelensky is extremely corrupt, and no Ukrainian rulership owes anything to US, which puppetted and bribed Ukraine into this war that never had a chance of winning.

    It would be deeply anti-Ukrainian to give away mineral rights/royalties to US. They do need to elect someone who will be respectful of Russia, and get their security guarantees from Russia with that respect, as they enjoyed prior to 2014.

    To be fair to Musk, he is only oligarch that donated anything to Ukraine as war started. Removing access is certain to make Ukraine accept peace, though, as drones are the most effective weapon in war today.
