According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, only 41% of respondents felt that the U.S. should continue to "provide weapons to Ukraine.".

35% said that America should not provide the war-torn country with weapons, while the rest of respondents were unsure.

In May of this year, 46% of Americans supported sending arms to Ukraine, and only 29% were opposed.

Elizabeth Hoffman, director of congressional and government affairs at the Center for Strategic & International Studies.

Says that much of the funds allocated for Ukraine stay in America.

For example, some goes toward jobs at U.S. weapons manufacturers.
