The White House believes that decisions on any concessions can only be made by Ukraine itself.
The US government does not share the views of the businessman Elon Musk on the war in Ukraine, in particular, that Kyiv should make concessions to Moscow for the sake of peace. The White House believes that only Ukraine can make such decisions. This statement was made by White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre during a briefing on October 25.
The journalist asked a question about the “peace plan” for Ukraine, which Elon Musk proposed on his Twitter .
Karin Jean-Pierre said in this regard: “About his comments regarding Ukraine and territorial concessions – I know that Mr. Musk spoke very loudly about this. Listen, he is a private person with a private company. Our position, the position of the [US] government, is very clear, I have explained it from this podium many times – regarding how we see the movement of this process: it depends on Ukraine.”
