Elon Musk, in a series of controversial tweets, called for the US to impose sanctions on top Ukrainian oligarchs, claiming this would swiftly end the war in Ukraine. He cited his support for Ukraine through Starlink, stating its importance to the Ukrainian military. This suggestion came in response to Senator Mike Lee's call to end US aid to Ukraine. Musk's comments have drawn criticism, particularly given his past challenge to Vladimir Putin for a fight. Meanwhile, former President Trump also advocated for a tougher stance against Ukraine, suggesting large-scale sanctions against Russia to pressure them into a ceasefire. Trump's approach has been criticized for seeming to favor Russia, and it marks a significant shift from the Biden administration's support for Ukraine. Tensions between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy have also added to the complexity of the situation. US and Ukrainian officials are scheduled to meet in Saudi Arabia to address their differences.
