Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has hit back at Elon Musk after the Tesla boss posted a Twitter poll with his suggestions for ending Russia’s invasion. Mr Musk asked his 107.7m followers to vote on ideas that included ceding territory to Russia. Musk’s proposal included among other things, that “Crimea formally remain part of Russia, as it has been since 1783” and that Ukraine remain neutral.
Ukraine-Russia Peace:
– Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.
– Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).
– Water supply to Crimea assured.
– Ukraine remains neutral.

In response, Mr Zelensky posted his own poll asking users if they liked the world’s richest person more when he supported Ukraine.
Other Ukrainians criticised Mr Musk.
Ukraine’s outgoing ambassador to Germany Andrij Melnyk used a strong expletive, which he described as his “very diplomatic reply”.
