X owner Elon Musk has continued to throw jabs at Ukarine President Volodymyr Zelensky for his constant plea for military assistance in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war that has lasted for over a year.

Musk took to X to post a meme of a photoshopped image of Zelensky captioning the post:

‘When it’s been 5 minutes and you haven’t asked for a billion dollars in aid’.

However, this led Kyiv to respond to the billionaire using a photoshopped post of their own.

Kyiv was quick to hit back at the billionaire, posting a derisive reply of its own.

On its official page on X, Ukraine’s parliament accused Musk of spreading Russian propaganda.

They put a similar post of a meme with a picture of Musk and captioned it:

‘When it’s been 5 minutes and you haven’t spread Russian propaganda

The meme being used in the tag of war between Musk and Kyiv was originally coined in 2014, depicting someone seated in an uncomfortable position.

Usually captioned “Trying to Hold a Fart Next to a Cute Girl in Class.’ It depicts a male student in a classroom, wearing a strained, red-faced expression.

Internet users commonly employ this image to express their discomfort or comical frustrations in various situations, especially when someone is struggling to refrain from speaking.

Musk’s meme targeted Zelensky and his key advisors for consistently calling upon their allies for billions of dollars in military assistance to withstand and push back Russia’s invasion.

Earlier in the war, Ukrainian officials criticized Musk for suggesting that they should contemplate relinquishing territory in exchange for peace—a stance firmly rejected by Kyiv.
