DeSantis's evolving stance on Ukraine and Russia.

Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor and potential Republican presidential nominee, has reversed his position on Ukraine, calling the Russian invasion a "territorial dispute". He now acknowledges that Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014 was wrong and has called Vladimir Putin a "war criminal". DeSantis has been criticised for his initial remarks and his favouring of media outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch. He clarified that he does not believe Russia was justified in invading Ukraine and that American troops should not be involved.
