🇺🇦ELON PREDICTS: "ODESA WILL FALL TOO" Today, Russia conducted a major series of strikes on Ukraine's infrastructure, causing a wide-scale blackout in Odesa, the country's largest port and main access to the Black Sea. Yesterday, Elon posted: "There is no chance of Russia taking all of Ukraine, as the local resistance would be extreme in the west, but Russia will certainly gain more land than they have today. The longer the war goes on, the more territory Russia will gain until they hit the Dnepr, which is tough to overcome. 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." Source: @elonmusk, X, Telegraph
