Zelensky criticizes Musk's remarks on Russian soldiers dying in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Elon Musk's comments about Russian soldiers dying in the war, saying he dislikes the businessman's attitude toward the conflict. Zelensky stated that aggressors should lose soldiers on foreign territory, not their own land. Zelensky said he cannot tell whether Musk is joking seriously or not, adding that these are not jokes he can understand despite his appreciation for humor. The remarks were published November 4 on Germany's ZDF public broadcaster program. On October 25, Musk called on X for compassion toward Russian conscripts, describing them as "children" without choice and urging an immediate halt to fighting and mass drone strikes.
