Elon Musk Says Ukraine Conflict Will End Only Through Compromise With Russia

American entrepreneur Elon Musk believes the Russia-Ukraine conflict will end only when both sides reach a negotiated settlement that includes concessions to Moscow, according to comments published in an interview with The Economist. Musk Calls for a Pragmatic Approach to Peace Musk said many people continue to promote unrealistic expectations about the outcome of the conflict, arguing that calls for Russia to withdraw completely are unlikely to produce a settlement. "I have long advocated for peace. Several years ago, I wrote that certain concessions to Russia would ultimately be necessary. That does not mean I support Russia-I was simply being pragmatic," Musk said.
