 ‘Very few people’ remember US overthrew Ukrainian govt – Musk
The billionaire recalled Senator Chris Murphy’s admission that Washington helped to usher in “regime change” in 2014
Many Americans have forgotten that it was the US that helped overthrow the legitimate Ukrainian government in 2014, plunging the country into turmoil for years to come, Elon Musk has said.
On Monday, Musk responded to a clip of US Senator Chris Murphy discussing Washington’s role during the 2013-2014 Maidan protests in Kiev which led to the ouster of then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich.
The video featured the Democrat admitting that the US had “not sat on the sidelines” during the unrest. Murphy also recalled that “we have been very much involved,” with top US lawmakers and officials attending the protests on the Maidan square.
He further explained that “the Obama administration passed sanctions [against Ukrainian officials]… I really think that the clear position of the United States has in part been what has helped lead to this change in regime.”
Murphy also noted that the US had a vested economic interest in Ukraine’s turn to the West, which was the key goal of the protesters. “If Ukraine is part of the European Union and thus is part of this new trade agreement with the United States, that could result in billions of dollars in new economic opportunities for the US,” he explained. “We shouldn’t be shy about making clear that interest.”
Musk responded to the clip, writing on X: “Still very few people know about this.”
In February 2023, Musk, one of the closest allies of US President Donald Trump, suggested there “no question that there was indeed a coup” in Kiev in 2014.
The Tesla and X owner’s remarks come after a heated clash in the White House between Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky and Trump, during which the US president accused Zelensky of ingratitude for American aid and reluctance to make peace with Russia. Following the feud, which also derailed a much-anticipated US-Ukraine mineral resource deal, Musk suggested that Zelensky could retire to a neutral country and be granted “amnesty”; in exchange for “a peaceful transition back to democracy in Ukraine.”
Zelensky’s presidential term expired last spring, although the Ukrainian leader has refused to call a new election, citing martial law. Russia has branded him “illegitimate,” insisting that power in Ukraine now lies with the parliament. Last month, Trump labeled Zelensky a “dictator without elections,” although he later appeared to backtrack on that accusation. |

UK Lifts Sanctions on Syrian Central Bank and Petroleum Firms
Britain unfroze the assets of Syria's central bank and 23 other entities including banks and oil companies on Thursday, reversing sanctions imposed during Bashar al-Assad's presidency.
The West is rethinking its approach to Syria after opposition forces led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group ousted Assad as president in December after more than 13 years of civil war.
"We are lifting asset freezes on 24 Syrian entities that were previously used by the Assad regime to fund the oppression of the Syrian people," a foreign office spokesperson said. |

US President Donald Trump praised BlackRock’s $23 billion deal to acquire key Panama Canal ports, calling it a step towards "reclaiming" control of the strategic waterway for the United States. The deal, involving a consortium led by BlackRock and Hong Kong’s CK Hutchison, grants US corporate ownership of two major ports at the canal.
Trump has long expressed concerns over foreign influence, particularly China, in the region. The move comes as part of his broader strategy to counter China’s presence in Central America and revive American shipbuilding. BlackRock’s acquisition spans 43 ports globally, enhancing its position in international infrastructure.

Britain a Financial Basket Case Update:
BCC and EY downgrade economic growth forecasts
Both the British Chambers of Commerce and the EY Item Club see growth slowing sharply to about 0.9% in Scotland and across the UK, down from about 1.3%, amid continuing low productivity.
Increased business costs after Rachel Reeves’ autumn budget also mean inflation is forecast to remain above the Bank of England’s 2% target until the end of 2027, while unemployment is set to rise further this year and business investment has been revised downwards.
The downbeat outlook comes before the Chancellor’s spring statement on 26 March when she is expected to outline substantial cuts to government spending, including to the welfare budget, in order to meet her fiscal rules.
Shevaun Haviland, the BCC’s director-general, said that despite rising geopolitical uncertainty and a looming global tariff war, business could not be expected to shoulder further cost burdens on top of the £25bn imposed in October.
“The chancellor has been quite clear that she’s done that once [in October’s budget] and she won’t be doing that again. So we very much hope she’ll be sticking to her word,” said Ms Haviland.
Scotland’s economy outperformed the UK in 2024, but a sharp slowdown in output from consumer-facing sectors in Q4 suggests households became more cautious amid growing economic uncertainty. |
