DeSantis made the comments during a wide-ranging interview with Nikkei Asia on Tuesday while the Florida governor is in Japan on an international trade mission.
In the interview, DeSantis warned that an extended war is possible in Ukraine.
"You don't want to end up in like a [Battle of] Verdun situation, where you just have mass casualties, mass expense and end up with a stalemate," DeSantis said. "It's in everybody's interest to try to get to a place where we can have a cease-fire."
