Pence's Surprise Visit to Ukraine Highlights GOP Split Over War
Former Vice President Mike Pence made an unannounced visit to Ukraine to show his support for the nation in its battle against Russia, highlighting a split within the Republican Party over U.S. involvement in Ukraine's defense. Both former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have criticized U.S. aid to Ukraine. During his visit, Pence met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and visited a mass burial site. Pence's show of solidarity contrasts with the views of top Republican presidential candidates, including Trump, who refused to say whether he wanted Ukraine to win the war, and DeSantis, who questioned the importance of protecting Ukraine's borders.
