Ukraine awards Elon Musk Order of Freedom for Starlink support
President Zelensky awarded Elon Musk Ukraine's Order of Freedom for personal contributions to protecting people's lives and freedoms and developing relations between Ukraine and the United States, according to a presidential decree. #Ukraine
I hate that Z / Ukraine need to do this to get the support that they should have been given on day 1 from the US.
keep your friends close and your enemies closer. gotya.
The "emphatic gesture" guy, who kept limiting Ukraine's access to Starlink and openly contemplated helping Russia instead? Ok.
This will make Trump jealous. Maybe that's the idea.
It's a war he is in. He needs all the wealthy backing he can get. Understandable he would do this.
The tried and tested "give a phony baloney award to the narcissist" ploy.
⚡️Zelensky awards Musk Ukraine's Order of Liberty as Kyiv seeks Starlink access over Russia. President Volodymyr Zelensky cited Elon Musk's "contributions to the protection of human life and freedom, and the development of relations between the peoples of Ukraine and the U.S."
*sigh*. this guy collecting awards here while he literally shut off lifelines to millions of people. I hate this timeline so much.
Is this an oxymoron? I hate that we have to placate and stroke billionaires egos because they literally own everything.
Some one pick up musk and send him to the Hague. 🤦♂️🌻
Musk, like Trump, cannot be trusted. Ukraine should look to Europe to step up and replace the U.S. for defense, and Europe must step up.
Pretty incredible given his role in ending USAID to Ukraine.
Zelensky knows how horrible musk is, and this is calculated, gauche as it comes across.
The most surprising news of the day is this. I guess it will provoke the strongest reactions as Zelenskyy bestowed on Elon Musk the Order of Freedom. Is it: To undermine Fedorov's imminent visit? To do with the CIA Director's trip to Moscow? Ukraine Starlink ban inside Russia being lifted?
I ended last night with early reports of Ukraine hitting the Kstovo oil refinery. The strike on the big Lukoil plant (capacity 17m tons of oil/year)in Nizhny Novgorod is now confirmed by Ukraine's military. It's over 800km/500 miles from Ukraine.
I’m more worried the CIA seeks help to let Trump undermine elections in exchange for reinstating Starlink for Russians.
another one of Zelenskyy's chess troll moves musk is kind of cornered as a hero of Ukraine now so when he starts talking shit about Ukraine again, he's going to look like an ass
it's just that UA needs that starlink on russia, Till Fedorov was in place, he would take care of the dirty job. Now that he removed him, he has to gets his hands dirty in person. It's karma.
Elon Musk gets the order of Freedom award in return for ?
To undermine Fedorov's imminent visit? 😂
🇺🇦👀🇺🇸 Zelensky awarded Elon Musk the Order of Freedom. The decree states that the businessman was awarded “for outstanding personal merits in protecting people’s lives and freedom, and in developing relations between the peoples of Ukraine and the United States.”
Soft soaping Musk. The things Zelenskyy will do for his country
Elon Musk is a mass murderer. He killed 14.000.000 people according to a study done by The Lancet. canceling US AID. not even giving the chance to other countries or organizations to take over.
Just for the record. One hear the grinding teeth in between words.
Good move, it costs nothing, and if for some reason it helps to get him to use Starlink over Russia, who cares. Politics means sometimes smiling at your worst enemy and shaking his hand, as it is needed.
All this craziness, if true, wouldn't have been necessary if the politically purist morons had voted for Harris/Walz. Not only would Russia have been defeated by now, USAID would still function, and the White House grounds wouldn't have been dug up like a stinking trench. And there's ICE, and more.
you know how petty musk is that if Zelensky didn’t flatter him, he’d probably pout about it in the form of cutting off starlink
🇺🇦🇺🇸 It's not for nothing that Elon Musk is being awarded the Order of Freedom right now!, - Ukraine Context Starlink in Russia? 👀
That gasbag deserves no awards. But if Ukraine gets essential stuff I would give Elmo a participation trophy.
This is a FAKE document, why are you publishing it? (it says Zelensky awards Elon Musk the Order of Liberty). This document is not genuine and does not exist in any official records.
Any opinions on this? "Elon Musk awarded Ukraine's Order of Freedom, one of the country's highest state honours, for Starlink role"
Following the Trump playbook, give Musk some glitzy trophy or prize and maybe he'll allow Starlink satellite connectivity over Russia for Ukraine's long-range drone attacks.
Ukraine is in a fight for its survival, with tens of thousands of its citizens dead and a malevolent dictator over the border intent on its destruction. StarLink has been a lifeline for the Ukrainian forces. The politics of its owner aren't really a thing they care about right now.
Given that Zelenskyy needs Starlink to continue fighting the Russians, I’ll give him a pass on this.
A serious mistake and misstep.
Did he do it free of charge? Then hes worthy of it.
