Mass drone strikes and combat operations must cease immediately, and Russian conscripts, who are merely children with no right to choose, should be "treated with compassion," states American businessman Elon Musk.
The American billionaire made another controversial statement regarding the war launched by Russia.
This time, he chose to pity Russian conscripts, calling them "children" who allegedly have no choice but to go to a foreign land to fight and become targets for Ukrainian drones.
According to Musk, the continuous loss of life on both sides must stop, but he once again focused his rhetoric on protecting Russian troops.
American billionaire Elon Musk accused Ukrainian elites of enrichment and American politicians of using aid to Ukraine to fund political campaigns.
Furthermore, according to the founder of SpaceX, the Ukrainian front line would allegedly collapse immediately without the Starlink satellite system, which is critically important for the country's defense.
The billionaire added that the use of civilian services for offensive drone strikes was never permitted, and due to alleged violations of the terms of service by Ukrainian military personnel, the corresponding loophole was closed last week.
At the same time, Elon Musk expressed concern that Starlink could become a target for Russian attacks if the satellites are used for offensive strikes.
In his opinion, the destruction of spacecraft threatens not only communications but could also cause a chain reaction of collisions in orbit.
