Ron DeSantis Opposes U.S. Entanglement in Ukraine-Russia Conflict, Cites National Interests

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has made his stance on U.S. support for Ukraine clear in a statement to Fox News host Tucker Carlson. In the questionnaire response, DeSantis stated that while the U.S. has many vital national interests, becoming further entangled in the territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them.

DeSantis noted the importance of securing U.S. borders, addressing the crisis of readiness within the military, achieving energy security and independence, and checking the economic, cultural, and military power of the Chinese Communist Party. He also expressed his concern with the Biden administration’s “blank check” funding of the conflict in Ukraine, without any defined objectives.

The statement from DeSantis comes as he is reportedly preparing a run for president in 2024. He has been vocal in his criticism of the Biden administration, and this statement is yet another example of his opposition to the current administration’s policies.

The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been a source of tension between the two countries for years. The U.S. has been involved in the dispute in various ways, and DeSantis’ statement is a reminder of the importance of considering the national interests of the U.S. before becoming further entangled in the conflict.
