A recent Pew Research Center poll reveals less than half of Americans support US aid to Ukraine, a significant shift. The US government announced $200 million in new military aid on the same day the national debt reached $35 trillion. Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov criticized this approach, arguing it prolongs the conflict.
A recent Pew Research Center poll shows that less than half of Americans support US aid to Ukraine, indicating a shift in public opinion.
The survey found 49% believe Washington has no responsibility to help Kiev, while 48% think it does.
This contrasts with previous polls: a year ago, the Reagan Institute reported 59% support, and a June 2023 Gallup poll showed 62% in favor.
Despite this decline, the US Defense Department announced $200 million in air defenses and other weapons for Ukraine, with an additional $1.5 billion committed long-term.
Since February 2022, over $55.4 billion in security assistance has been allocated to Ukraine. Meanwhile, US national debt hit a record $35 trillion.
Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov criticized the continued aid, claiming it prolongs the conflict and increases casualties.
