This Ukrainian ambassador had the best (NSFW) response to Elon Musk’s Twitter poll on annexed areas of Ukraine
Over on Twitter Elon Musk – stick with us, please – thought it would be a good idea to do a poll about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Specifically, about the four occupied regions that Moscow has falsely annexed after what it called referendums. Here’s what the Tesla and SpaceX man had to say.
Ukraine-Russia Peace:
– Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.
– Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).
– Water supply to Crimea assured.
– Ukraine remains neutral.

And as you might imagine it prompted no end of replies from people telling him exactly what he could do with his poll.
Elon, you’re a cool guy and thanks for the Starlink but it’d be so very wonderful if you were to carry out votes on things that you know about. We don’t carry out votes on apartheid and Nelson Mandela.

Hey, @elonmusk, are you kidding me? You are a billionaire and you have nobody to proofread your tweets?

. @elonmusk, being Ukrainian I saw you as a explorer of our future, hi-tec and space. Now you are just a disappointment of the year. Being one of the most influential people on Earth you have no right to decide the fate of other nations and their country’s borders.

From Russian grandmaster and former chess world champion, Garry Kasparov …
This is moral idiocy, repetition of Kremlin propaganda, a betrayal of Ukrainian courage & sacrifice, and puts a few minutes browsing Crimea on Wikipedia over the current horrific reality of Putin's bloody war. https://t.co/63rmDmqTzb

And from President Volodymyr Zelenskiy …
Which @elonmusk do you like more?

But our favourite and surely the most straight-talking response came from Ukraine’s outgoing – and outspoken – ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnyk.
Fuck off is my very diplomatic reply to you @elonmusk

Electric.
Ukrainian ambassador to Germany. Absolutely priceless. https://t.co/Z60Fwyqmqd

Ukraine's German ambassador is pretty blunt.
Something tells me he's familiar with the German words fachidiot (an expert in some areas, an idiot in others) and backpfeifengesicht (a face made for slapping). https://t.co/byOLUAqYPN
