American technology wizard and billionaire Elon Musk has issued a warning about the current situation in the Russia-Ukraine war, stating that the longer the conflict lasts, the more territory Russia will gain. Musk’s comments come as the war has entered its third year with a continued stalemate between the two sides.
In a comprehensive report by Epoch Times reporter Cheng Wen, Musk highlighted the tragic waste of life for Ukraine, which lacks defense capabilities. He pointed out that the Ukrainian front faces a significant risk of collapse as Russia continues to advance on its defense lines.
Despite providing Ukraine with support in the early days of the war, Musk later urged Ukraine to agree to cede territory to Russia in order to reach an armistice, causing controversy and unhappiness among Ukrainians. He also opposed the additional $61.4 billion in military aid that the Biden administration requested for Ukraine in 2024, aligning with Republican concerns in Congress.
Musk emphasized that Ukraine’s defense capabilities are insufficient and urged the country to focus on strengthening its defenses. He predicted that Russia will continue to gain more territory in Ukraine as the war prolongs, potentially even reaching the Dnieper River and the city of Odessa.
In addition to Musk’s warnings, Ukrainian military officers have also raised concerns about the lack of ammunition, weapons, and equipment on the front lines. The Ukrainian army is facing challenges in terms of manpower and supplies, with Russia expected to launch an offensive this summer.
NATO is considering a long-term military aid program for Ukraine to provide more predictable support in the coming years. However, there are concerns about broken promises and delays in aid delivery, which have impacted the situation on the battlefield.
As pressure mounts for peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, Musk’s assessment of the war’s prospects reflects growing skepticism about the effectiveness of ongoing military aid efforts. With major elections in the United States and Europe this year, there may be increased calls for a diplomatic solution to end the conflict.
