Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump Call for De-Escalation of Tensions in Ukraine

In a statement released on March 13, 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared that becoming “further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia” is not in the United State’s best interest.

Despite not officially declaring his presidential run, DeSantis is viewed as former President Donald Trump’s most competent rival.

On March 13, 2023, Fox News host Tucker Carlson posted on Twitter responses to a questionnaire from Republican candidates and prospective presidential candidates on the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.
