Former Vice President Mike Pence and New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu criticized the position of party members who propose to refuse military aid to Ukraine.
Some Republican Party representatives criticized fellow party member, Florida governor and possible presidential candidate Ron DeSantis for his statement about the unimportance of the war in Ukraine for the United States, reported Saturday, March 18, CNN .
Thus, the former Vice President of the US Mike Pence and the Governor of New Hampshire Chris Sununu did not support the position of DeSantis, who called the invasion of Ukraine a “territorial dispute” and did not represent an “important ” national interest for the United States. Pence reiterated that the war in Ukraine is not a “territorial dispute” but a Russian invasion.
“We must support our allies around the world to fight aggressive and dangerous regimes that threaten freedom wherever they are,” Sununu said.
The New Hampshire governor also said the price the United States is now paying in Ukraine is less than the price it could face if Russian dictator Vladimir Putin continues his “march to the West.” It will threaten the sovereignty and security of NATO. Pence and Sununu also argued that support for Ukraine sends a clear message to China.
“When we think about our biggest and most important strategic issue, which is China, the best way to send a signal to China of its military ambitions is to see the free world stand firmly for the sovereignty of the people of Ukraine, Pence added. .
In this regard, Sununu added that some of his fellow Republicans “have lost their moral compass in foreign policy” and stressed that “as Republicans, we must uphold freedom, not give it up.”
It was previously reported that former President Donald Trump is supported by the majority of US conservatives. He was ahead of his closest competitor, DeSantis: 62% compared to 20% among Conservative Conference participants.
