NEW YORK, March 31. /TASS/. Ukraine risks losing Odessa and access to the Black Sea if it does not agree to negotiate with Russia, American entrepreneur Elon Musk said.

"However, if the war lasts long enough, Odessa will fall too… Whether Ukraine loses all access to the Black Sea or not is, in my view, the real remaining question. I recommend a negotiated settlement before that happens," he wrote on the social network X.

This is how Musk commented on the publication of American businessman Bill Ackman about expert John Spencer, who wrote about the Ukrainian conflict.

"It was a tragic waste of life for Ukraine to attack a larger army that had defense in depth, minefields and stronger artillery when Ukraine lacked armor or air superiority!" Musk wrote.
