Title: Florida Governor: The Duration of the Conflict in Ukraine May Be Prolonged

The potential Republican presidential candidate and Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, in an interview with "Nikkei Asia," has called for a "ceasefire in Ukraine," stating that "the duration of the conflict in Ukraine may be prolonged." He noted that "no one wants to end up in a situation like the Battle of Verdun (a battle between French and German forces during World War I) where there were heavy losses, enormous costs, and ultimately a stalemate with no exit. There is an interest for everyone to try to reach a point that could achieve a ceasefire." DeSantis emphasized that "Europeans need to be more active in the Ukrainian issue. Some are doing something, but Germany is not doing anything."
