DeSantis Advocates for Cease-Fire in Ukraine and Talks Trade on International Trip.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, has stated that it is "in everybody's interest to try to get to a place where we can have a cease-fire" in Ukraine, a message that contrasts with the Biden administration's stance. DeSantis's comments have drawn criticism from both Democrats and Republicans who have focused on supporting Ukraine's fighting rather than pushing for talks or an agreement while Russia occupies significant territory. DeSantis's stance on Ukraine breaks with some prominent Republicans but also reflects a growing GOP criticism of the U.S.'s approach to Ukraine.
