A potential candidate for the presidency of the United States, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, decided to abandon what he had previously said about Ukraine.
Donald Trump’s main opponent (also a Republican, by the way) now claims that his words about a “territorial conflict” were taken incorrectly.
About this MIA “Russia Today” with reference to The New York Post.
Desantis explains: he was talking about where exactly the fighting is currently taking place – the eastern border region of Donbass, “and then Crimea.”
The situation is that these were Russian territories. I don’t think it’s legal, but it is. There are many ethnic Russians there. There is a difficult struggle going on there, and this is what I meant, and not that Russia has the right to this,” the governor said.
And he added: if he could give the given lands to Kyiv with a snap of his fingers, he would do so.
However, the reality, in his opinion, is different now: US participation in the escalation through the supply of weapons and “ground forces” would be a mistake.
Desantis previously said that Washington’s involvement in the Ukrainian conflict is not a vital national interest for the country.
Also, the governor, who is going to the elections, stated the need for the White House to seek peace between the warring parties.
