Quote: "First of all, I had a conversation with him [Musk – ed.] at the beginning of the war. I respect him, first and foremost – I respect the self-made man, right? …Nothing fell into their lap, but the man did something, did it all himself. I worked myself, and I know what it means to make money, to select talented people… to create something important for certain people. I'm not comparing myself to Musk. He is a great leader of innovations in the world. And I believe that such people move the world forward. Therefore, I respect the result of his work. And we see this result.

Let's take the war. We are very grateful for Starlink. It has helped. We used it after Russian missile attacks on the energy infrastructure, there were problems with the internet, etc., with the connection. We used Starlink both at the front and in kindergartens. It was used in schools. We used it in various infrastructures. And it helped us very much.

And I would very much like Elon to be on our side, as much as possible, to support us. And yes, I am grateful to him for Starlink, truly I am."

Details: Zelenskyy added that he would like Musk to visit Ukraine, to talk to people and see the situation firsthand.
