Musk Backs Trump Call to Replace Ukraine's Zelenskiy as Diesel Row Deepens
Musk said Zelenskiy should be replaced after Trump tied future talks to Ukraine halting strikes on Russian refineries.
- On Saturday, October 10, at Joint Base Andrews, President Donald Trump called for Ukraine to get a new president, while Elon Musk wrote "Zelensky has gone too far" on X, deepening pressure on President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
- Trump's demand follows his October 9 announcement of a deal for Russia to supply 300,000 tonnes of diesel, which fueled conflict over Ukraine's persistent drone strikes against Russian refineries.
- Trump had previously told Zelenskiy to "stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia," while Musk restricted Starlink, the satellite network crucial for military communications, citing escalation concerns.
- Ukrainian officials Rustem Umierov and Kyrylo Budanov departed talks with U.S. envoys on October 10 without a second day of discussions, signaling growing isolation as Kyiv faces intensified Russian attacks and energy blackouts.
- European leaders and U.S. lawmakers, including Republican Brian Fitzpatrick, are weighing further actions such as a bipartisan "Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act" to ban Russian Oil purchases amid winter preparations.
