Ukraine has invited Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to visit, after the Republican dismissed the Russian invasion as a "territorial dispute".
Ukraine's foreign ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko criticised Mr DeSantis's comments and tweeted his invitation to the Republican governor on Tuesday.
"We are sure that as a former military officer deployed to a combat zone, Governor Ron DeSantis knows the difference between a 'dispute' and war," Mr Nikolenko said.
"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."

“While the US has many vital national interests - securing our borders, addressing the crisis of readiness within our military, achieving energy security and independence, and checking the economic, cultural, and military power of the Chinese Communist Party - becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them.” - Governor DeSantis.

New Bakhmut Report: High Casualties - Low Morale - Russian Tactics
Last week I explained why Bakhmut is falling. The piece included long excerpts from a piece published by Kyiv Independent. The reporter had talked with soldiers who had been at the Bakhmut front. Their description of the situation there was devastating.
Now a different reporter for Kyiv Independent has a somewhat similar report:

These eff’n morons quibble over the words ‘dispute’ and ‘war’ and our eff’n moron send them money and arms without any accountability. DeSantis and Trump are correct on this issue.
Ukraine borders have been fluid for a long time.
+1
Because its better to ask “what’s your price” in person.
If he does not prioritize the war why would he want to go there? We can watch the US flush money down the toilet right here in the USA.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think it’s bizarre that these alleged “dignitaries” visit a war zone (or are asked to visit) like it’s some sort of vacation spot?
There is nothing in Ukraine worth even an answer from DeSantis.
DeSanctus is correct.
Europe should handle this. And pay for it. And die for it if the want to expand the war.
Our Deep State Globalist Masters obviously don’t support the war in Ukraine and have ordered their puppet DeSantis to speak out against the war.
Nazi invasion of Poland: “A territorial dispute”.
What you say is true that Europe needs to help A LOT more, but it was a stupid thing for DeSantis to say.
—> What you say is true that Europe needs to help A LOT more,
Yes they do. It’s their back yard.
—> but it was a stupid thing for DeSantis to say.
I believe DeSanctus spoke correctly.
“I have a briefcase for you. Just like the one I gave to Yellen and bigger than the one I gave Blinken.”
Just say NO!
There is no scenario where Ron wins doing this.
Has DeSantis been placed on the Ukrainian ‘kill list’ for his insolent remark?
DeSantis does not have a check ready that he needs to pick up like all the Democrats that go over there.
