Putin is “a war criminal” who needs to be held “accountable” for invading the eastern European country, DeSantis said.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made a U-turn in his stance on Ukraine this week, telling Piers Morgan that he believes Putin is “a war criminal” who needs to be held “accountable” for invading the eastern European country. He even went so far as to call Russia “basically a gas station with a bunch of nuclear weapons.
” Just days prior, he told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the conflict amounted to a “territorial dispute” and that America had no business intervening any further. He faced stark pushback from both sides of the aisle for the comments last week—and almost immediately walked back his position during his interview with Morgan by saying the statements were “mischaracterized”—and that Russia was “wrong” to both invade Ukraine last year and annex Crimea in 2014.
