Former Vice President Mike Pence, who announced his candidacy for president this month, made the surprise visit to Ukraine on Thursday.
Former Vice President Mike Pence became the first Republican presidential candidate to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
An adviser to Pence said the former vice president was briefed on alleged human rights violations and the current security situation during the visit. "To see families whose homes were literally shelled in the midst of an unconscionable and unprovoked Russian invasion — just steels my resolve to do my part, to continue to call for strong American support for our Ukrainian friends and allies," Pence told NBC News.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is polling second to Trump nationally, had to walk back statements about Ukraine earlier this year. He initially likened the conflict to a"territorial dispute" that is not of vital U.S. interest. After facing backlash, especially from some in his own party, DeSantis said he was specifically talking about the disputed eastern Donbas region, not the overall conflict.
