Survey: More Than Half of U.S. Opposes Sending More Military Aid to Ukraine

A new CBS-YouGov poll shows the American public is tiring of sending military aid to Ukraine with 51% of the respondents saying that the U.S. should not “send weapons and military aid to Ukraine.”

The survey of 2,232 adults in the U.S. took place between November 19 and 22 and shows a deep political divide regarding support for the war in Ukraine.

According to the Washington Examiner, results were divided primarily among political parties and ideologies with 72% of Democrats saying they believed the U.S. should continue sending military aid to Ukraine while 28% of Democrats said they “should not” continue.

On the other hand, 36% of Republicans said they supported sending more military assistance while 64% said they would not support continuing to send aid to Ukraine.

Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb 24, 2022 over “NATO eastward expansion” that it said threatened its national security.

The survey comes at a time when the Eastern European conflict is being deliberately escalated in ways that could bring NATO nations into the war and spark global warfare.

U.S. and NATO leaders are openly providing long range missiles and intelligence to Ukraine which were used to carry out strikes in Russia on Nov 19.

Russia responded by firing a new medium-range hypersonic missile with multiple independently targeted warheads into Dnipro as Russian president Vladimir Putin warned that the regional conflict “has acquired elements of a global character” due to Western provocation.

President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to help end the war even as the outgoing Biden administration is seeking to provide another $6 billion in aid before inauguration day.

After a recent report in the New York Times suggesting that Biden administration officials are considering providing Ukraine with nuclear weapons, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), reiterated that the American people do not wish to be a part of this regional dispute and that starting a nuclear war on the way out of office is treason.

Outgoing administration officials (the admin that massively lost the popular vote and electoral college) should be arrested if they give nuclear weapons to Ukraine.

Starting a nuclear war on your way out is treason.

The American people do NOT want anything to do with this!!! https://t.co/p3eMSzzrVx

The noticeable shift in public sentiment regarding the U.S. sending aid to Ukraine does not appear to be swaying government officials.
