Ukraine’s foreign ministry invited Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), widely presumed to be gearing up for a 2024 White House bid, to visit the former Soviet Union nation following comments he made in which he referred to Russia’s invasion of the country as a “territorial dispute.”
“We are sure that as a former military officer deployed to a combat zone, Governor @RonDeSantisFL knows the difference between a ‘dispute’ and war. We invite him to visit Ukraine to get a deeper understanding of Russia’s full-scale invasion and the threats it poses to US interests,” Oleg Nikolenko, a spokesman for the Ukrainian foreign ministry, said in a post on Tuesday, quote-tweeting an article regarding DeSantis’s comments.
