EXCLUSIVE:<\/strong> Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was “taking the Chinese position” on Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine when the potential Republican 2024 contender<\/a> called the war a “territorial dispute.”<\/p>\n

During an interview with Fox News Digital on Friday, the South Carolina lawmaker and military veteran was asked whether he was concerned about the current front-runners<\/a> for the GOP presidential nomination \u2014 DeSantis, who is expected to announce a White House bid, and former President Donald Trump, who already has \u2014 both having a more skeptical position of the current level of U.S. aid to Ukraine than more establishment members of their party.<\/p>\n

“Governor DeSantis, who I respect, is basically taking the Chinese position when it comes to Russia’s invasion,” Graham said.<\/p>\n

“China calls this a territorial dispute. This is not a territorial dispute. This is an invasion of a sovereign democracy by [Vladimir Putin’s] Russia, barbaric in nature.”<\/p>\n

DESANTIS RATTLES ESTABLISHMENT GOP AFTER SAYING US INTEREST IN UKRAINE-RUSSIA WAR IS NOT ‘VITAL’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He added that DeSantis “has got much to be proud of as governor,” but said, “I think any Republican that goes down the Biden road of trying to, you know, go weak in the face of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, is inviting more aggression.”<\/p>\n

Graham said of Trump, who he\u2019s already endorsed for 2024, “If he got to be president again \u2014 I really do believe Putin wouldn’t have invaded on his watch \u2014 but I’ve told President Trump that if you don’t see a nexus between China going after Taiwan, and Russia going into Ukraine, you’re not watching very closely.”<\/p>\n

DeSantis had said that “becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia” was not “vital” to U.S. interests in a response to a questionnaire by Tucker Carlson. He argued, “The Biden administration\u2019s virtual \u2018blank check\u2019 funding of this conflict for \u2018as long as it takes,\u2019 without any defined objectives or accountability, distracts from our country\u2019s most pressing challenges.”<\/p>\n

He also accused President Joe Biden of having “driven Russia into a de facto alliance with China” and bolstering “Putin’s war machine” with his renewable energy policies. Fox News Digital has reached out to DeSantis’ office for comment.<\/p>\n

TRUMP SAYS BIGGEST THREAT TO AMERICA IS NOT RUSSIA BUT ‘USA-HATING PEOPLE,’ INCLUDING ‘GODLESS’ MARXISTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Beijing has not taken an overt public stance against Ukraine. But Chinese President Xi Jinping\u2019s upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, amid concerns that China could begin arming Russia, has raised alarms within the global community.<\/p>\n

In the U.S., there is a growing rift within the GOP between those who are increasingly tired of watching the federal government send billions in foreign aid, and more establishment members of the party who argue that helping Ukraine stave off Russia\u2019s illegal invasion is vital to upholding international stability.<\/p>\n

Graham, one of the loudest voices in Congress in favor of more aid to Kyiv, said it was the U.S.\u2019s duty to “expose” Xi and Putin ahead of their upcoming meeting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PENCE SPOTLIGHTS CHASM WITH TRUMP, DESANTIS, ON SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE, AS FORMER VP VISITS KEY PRIMARY STATE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“China is a communist dictatorship. Putin is one of the most notorious foreign criminals of the 21st century,” Graham said. “It\u2019s an axis of evil in its own way, when you throw Iran in there.”<\/p>\n

“But what I would do is just really put pressure on China to not help Russia militarily, because that extends to war. And I would label Russia a state sponsor of terrorism \u2014 that makes it more difficult for China to help Russia.”<\/p>\n

Graham went a step further earlier in the interview, now pledging to “stop business as usual” until Russia was named a terrorist state, in light of Putin\u2019s recent war crimes charges by the International Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

“I am going to go all in, stop business as usual on the Senate floor, to make the point that we need to label\u2026 Russia state a sponsor of terrorism under U.S. law,” the senator said. “It would make Putin\u2019s Russian state radioactive \u2014 more than it is today. It would put him in the category of\u2026 Iran, Syria, North Korea.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
