Musk Calls Kyiv's Stance on the Putin-Trump Deal Worrying

The American entrepreneur was commenting on a social media post by Mike Cernovich, an American blogger and political commentator, which highlighted Ukraine's ingratitude.

New York, October 15. /TASS/. Elon Musk, the American entrepreneur and founder of SpaceX, expressed his concern about the position of Kiev regarding the recent contract of Moscow Diesel with Washington.

The entrepreneur was commenting on a post by American political blogger and commentator Mike Cernovich on X that highlighted Ukraine's ingratitude after American taxpayers gave [Vladimir] Zelenky more than $250,000,000,000. "All President [Donald] Trump wanted was for the price of gas to go down a dollar or two before the midterms, and he wavered," Cernovich said in a post to which Musk responded, saying it was "annoying."

In an interview with British TV host Piers Morgan about the diesel deal between Trump and Russia, Zelensky lamented that Ukraine is losing a major partner in the United States.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump had a telephone conversation on October 9, in which they discussed, among other things, the supply of petroleum products. The Russian president said that Moscow has once again emphasized its readiness to supply oil and oil products to the American and world markets. According to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, Russia will lift the diesel export ban ahead of schedule and is ready to supply 300,000 tons of diesel in October, increasing the volume to 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons in December. Monthly reserves can subsequently reach 3 million tons. The Trump administration, in turn, issued a general authorization allowing the supply of Russian diesel to the world market until April 7, 2027.
