Earlier, Florida Governor Ron Desantis, who is considered a promising participant in the intra-party stage of the struggle for the post of American leader among the Republicans, said that "the United States has many vital national interests," but "further involvement in the territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia does not apply to them."
"Desantis' statement is absolutely true," Hammer wrote.
The journalist wondered why Ukraine's preservation of the disputed territory is a "vital national interest of the United States."
"Especially if we assume that some of the Russian-speaking cities in eastern Ukraine may themselves want to become part of Russia," Hammer stressed.
On March 13, journalist Al Hunt in an article for The Hill expressed the opinion that the victory of a moderate conservative in the presidential elections of the United States next year would call into question the support of the Ukrainian army.
