Zelenskyy wants Musk on Ukraine's side

"First of all, I had a conversation with him at the beginning of the war. I talked with him. I respect him, first and foremost, I respect the self-made man, right? No one, and nothing fell into their lap, but the man did something, did it all himself. I worked myself created a big production company, and I know what it means to make money, to select talented people, to impart knowledge to them, to invest money and to create something," said the president.

Zelenskyy added that he does not compare himself to Musk and considers the American billionaire a leader in global innovation. According to the head of state, such people push the world forward, which is why he respects his work.

At the same time, he addressed the topic of the war. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for the Starlinks and said he would like Musk to be as supportive of Ukraine as possible.

"We are very grateful for Starlink. It has helped. We used it after Russian missile attacks on the energy infrastructure, there were problems with the Internet, etc., with connection. We used Starlink both at the front and in kindergartens. It was used in schools, it helped children. We used it in various infrastructure. And it helped us very much. And I would very much like Elon to be on our side as much as possible, to... to support us. And yes I am grateful to him for Starlink, truly I am.," said Zelenskyy.

The president also mentioned that he would like Elon Musk to visit Ukraine.

In November, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine cannot be forced to sit and listen. Elon Musk, for his part, provocatively responded to these words, saying that the Ukrainian president has a remarkable sense of humor.
