Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis likened Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to a “territorial dispute” and argued becoming further involved is not a vital’ national interest for the U.S. Multiple Republicans took aim at the remarks, which came in a lengthy statement to Fox News's Tucker Carlson.

The Florida governor has received the most blowback from Senate Republicans.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), who is supporting Trump in 2024, added that DeSantis’s comments are smart because that is where many GOP voters stand on the matter.

According to a Pew Research poll released in January, 40 percent of Republican voters said the U.S. was giving too much aid to Ukraine.
