Blinken says Ukraine will become NATO member, Musk compares it to apocalypse film

Reuters reports. 

"Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership," Blinken told reporters in Brussels.

American businessman Elon Musk commented on Blinken's words. 

"This is literally how the nuclear apocalypse movie starts," he wrote on social media platform X. 

Musk also attached a link to an excerpt from the 1983 American apocalyptic disaster film The Day After. The film revolves around a fictional war between NATO and Warsaw Pact forces, which quickly escalates into a full-scale exchange of nuclear strikes between the United States and the Soviet Union. 

Elon Musk predicts Russia would gain more land in Ukraine 

Last week Elon Musk again commented on Russia-Ukraine war, saying that he believed Russia would "certainly gain more land than they have today."

"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," he wrote on X.

"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," Musk added.

• The Baltic ambassadors to the UK have called on NATO to provide Ukraine with a clear path to membership, and said that Ukraine would make a significant contribution to the Alliance's security.
• On April 1, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a special meeting on working with NATO on interoperability and prospects for 2024. However, NATO leaders will not invite Ukraine to join the Alliance at the July summit in Washington.
