That risk is unacceptable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s call to less U.S. involvement Ukraine has set up a contest between 2024 Republican presidential candidate as they seek to stand out on the foreign-policy front. The governor&#8217;s remarks appear to put him somewhere between former president Donald Trump, who has also opposed intervention in Ukraine, and declared presidential candidate Nikki Haley, who has been a strong supporter of aid for Ukraine\u2014and are similar to the Biden administration&#8217;s position of support for Ukraine that stops short of F-16s and long-range missiles.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is widely believed to be the frontrunner for Republican nomination. Trump stated earlier this week he would push both sides to reach a deal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u00a0could have negotiated,&#8221; Trump\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wionews.com\/world\/donald-trump-makes-extreme-claims-says-russia-will-take-over-everything-in-ukraine-571006\">Telled<\/a> Sean Hannity talks about his radio show. &#8220;At worst, I could have made a deal to take over something, you know, there are certain areas that are Russian-speaking areas, right, like, but you could have worked a deal. And now Ukraine is just being blown to smithereens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump and DeSantis disagree with the rest of the declared-and-likely-to-announce Republican field. This includes Haley, ex-vice president Mike Pence and ex-secretary of state Mike Pompeo.<\/p>\n<p>Haley has already started campaigning and is a strong advocate for U.S. assistance to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson was also informed by Haley. &#8220;opposing Russia in Ukraine a vital American national strategic interest.&#8221; She stressed that the United States would not cease supporting Ukraine until war ends.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Russia&#8217;s objective is to take over all of Ukraine by military force. Our objective should be to help the Ukrainians prevent that from happening,&#8221; She said. &#8220;If Russia stopped fighting and left Ukraine, the war would end instantly, and America would no longer need to play a role. If Ukraine stopped fighting, Ukraine would no longer exist, and other countries would legitimately fear they would be next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This support should not, however. &#8220;blank checks&#8221; Or &#8220;American troops,&#8221; Haley.<\/p>\n<p>Pence, who was a Trump aide, has not yet declared his candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While some in my party have taken a somewhat different view, let me be clear: There can be no room in the leadership of the Republican Party for apologists for Putin,&#8221; Pence\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/02\/24\/mike-pence-ex-trump-vp-slams-gop-putin-apologists-in-ukraine-speech.html\"><\/a>. &#8220;There can only be room for champions of freedom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo, while he hasn&#8217;t officially declared his candidacy yet, has been a strong advocate for Ukraine.
