DeSantis: Protecting Ukraine is not a crucial American priority.

Ron Desantis, Florida's Republican governor, has stated that becoming
involved in the military confrontation between Ukraine and Russia is not
a priority for the US. He criticized the Biden administration's policy
of issuing virtual "blank checks" to Ukraine in order to fund the
conflict for "as long as it takes," without any defined objectives or
accountability. He also blasted Washington for driving Russia closer to
China, which he believes represents a much greater threat than Moscow.
DeSantis is expected to contend for the US presidency in the 2024
elections and has set himself apart from other top Republican leaders
with his stance on Ukraine.
Former vice president Mike Pence and Senate Minority leader Mitch
McConnell have both pledged the Republican party's commitment to the
Ukrainian war effort. Former president Donald Trump has insisted that
the conflict must end as soon as possible and that the US president must
meet with both sides and quickly work out a deal. Trump also stated
that opposing Russia in Ukraine is important for Europe and that Europe
should be paying more than the US. Asked if the US should support regime
change in Russia, Trump instead called for regime change in the United
States itself.
