Musk says he is 'ready to serve' after Trump offers a Cabinet spot

Former President Donald Trump on Monday said he would offer Elon Musk a Cabinet position or an advisory role in his administration if he wins a second term in the White House.

"I am willing to serve," Musk posted on X, adding a photo of him standing on a podium with the words "Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)."

The acronym is likely a playful reference to Dogecoin, a popular cryptocurrency that originated as a meme.

Ukraine building ties with Kosovo would be ‘a big problem’ – analyst

"Ukraine establishing bilateral relations with the so-called Republic of Kosovo would be a big problem, because it concerns the issue of its territorial integrity," Dusan Prorokovic, political analyst and former state secretary of the Ministry of Kosovo and Metohija, told Sputnik Srbija.

"Therefore, despite the appeals of some Ukrainian politicians, they are not taking such steps, but, as we see, through the Council of Europe and other less important organizations, they support Pristina, because this is the strategy of the US and UK," he added.

Ukraine is dependent on the help of the US, UK, and other European countries in every respect, whether it be weapons, finances, political decisions, or instructions from international organizations, Prorokovic said.

According to him, both Kiev and Pristina are not fully independent in decision-making.

"As for strategic decisions, they should respect the positions of those who support them. As for tactical decisions, they are made depending on the specific situation," he said.
