Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

In a surprise during a congratulatory phone call between President-elect Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky, Elon Musk participated briefly, discussing ongoing support for Ukraine via Starlink satellites. While Trump promised to maintain U.S. support for Ukraine, the call raised eyebrows given Musk’s past suggestions of territorial concessions to Russia. Zelensky described the conversation as productive, yet concerns linger over potential shifts in U.S. policy towards Ukraine as Trump prepares to take office on January 20, 2025, and Musk’s burgeoning role in the administration.
