After winning the US elections, Donald Trump spoke on the phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday. News agency AFP quoted a Ukrainian official on Friday as saying that businessman Elon Musk also participated in the conversation.
First the American website Axios had claimed that Musk was also involved in this conversation. After this, a senior official of the Ukrainian Presidential Office justified this claim in a conversation with news agency AFP.
In the report, quoting three sources having knowledge of the meeting, it was said that this conversation lasted for 25 minutes. During this, Trump assured Zelensky that he would help him in the ongoing war with Russia.
The President of Ukraine visited the US in September. During this time he also met Trump.
Zelensky thanked Musk
Trump told Zelensky that he wanted to give diplomacy another chance. I promise you won't be disappointed in me. After this Trump handed the phone to Musk. Musk talked to Zelensky. Zelensky thanked Musk for providing Internet to Ukraine. Musk said that he will continue to help Ukraine with his Starlink satellite.
After the war started in 2022, Russia destroyed the communication network in Ukraine. Since then, Musk's Starlink system has been providing internet in Ukraine.
Turkish President also talked about being with Trump-Musk Earlier on Thursday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had said that he had talked to Donald Trump. At that time Trump and Musk were having dinner together. During this time Musk's son was also with him. Erdogan said that he had appealed to Trump to stop the war in the Middle East. He did not say whether he had a conversation with Musk or not.
Musk's presence amid the talks between the two world leaders is an indication that the Tesla chief may play a bigger role in the Trump administration in the coming times. Trump has already said that he wants to include Musk in an advisory role in his upcoming government.
Musk, the world's richest person, played a big role in Trump's campaign. He was the first famous businessman who openly campaigned in favor of Trump. According to reports, Musk spent more than Rs 900 crore in Trump's campaign.
The party was organized at Mar-a-Lago Club after Trump's victory in the presidential election. Musk also participated in this along with the Trump family. This picture was shared by Musk. In this he is with his son.
Trump has criticized Zelensky, called him a great salesman In his first address after receiving the Republican Party's nomination for president, Trump criticized Zelensky and described him as a 'brilliant salesman'. Trump said that instead of spending American taxpayers' money on Ukraine, it should be spent on the well-being of American citizens.
Donald Trump had said-
Zelensky is perhaps the best salesman among all the leaders ever born. Every time he comes to America he leaves with 60 billion dollars. He reached home four with 60 billion dollars from America and after reaching there again announced that he needed 60 billion dollars more help. It will never end.
Trump has been saying since 2023 that he will end the war in 24 hours Trump first said in May 2023 that Russians and Ukrainians were dying in the war. I will end this war in 24 hours. Then he said that he would first meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and then Russian President Vladimir Putin. Since then, Trump has been repeating this repeatedly.
In the presidential debate, Trump had even said that Biden has imposed war on Putin. If he had been President, this war would never have happened.
