Another Republican has come out against Governor Ron DeSantis' comments calling the war in Ukraine a 'territorial dispute' with which the U.S. should not be involved.
Sen. Mike Rounds, a Republican on the Armed Services Committee, responded to the remarks from the Florida governor, claiming that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is 'bigger' than just the territory in question.
'I don't think it's a territorial dispute,' Rounds told NBC's Meet the Press in a Sunday morning interview.
'While he [Russian President Vladimir Putin] may be taking territory, and it's technically accurate to say that there's territory being taken. This is bigger than that for us,' the South Dakota senator added.
Ukraine's foreign ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko invited DeSantis to visit the war-torn nation after the Florida governor downplayed the conflict with Russia and demanded the federal government focus-in on domestic issues instead.
South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds, member of the Armed Services Committee, said that the Ukraine war is 'much more' than a dispute over land in the region
