US Public Support Declines , for Providing Weapons to Ukraine, Poll Shows.
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.
The newest poll was conducted as Congress debates fulfilling President Joe Biden's request for another $24 billion for Ukraine.
$17 billion of those funds would go
toward defense, Reuters reports.
Since Russia attacked in February 2022, the U.S.
has given Ukraine $44 billion to supply its war
efforts with tanks, rockets and ammunition.
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.

'Writing on the Wall' with Oneindia's Pankaj Mishra. Sample this! In recent months, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has drawn heightened global attention. President Joe Biden's firm stance against Vladimir Putin's success in the war underscores the situation's gravity. Simultaneously, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's urgent plea for increased ammunition and weapons emphasises the critical need for international support against Russian aggression. Financial sustainability for Ukraine's defense is a concern, as Defense Secretary Yelland expresses worry over the strain of supporting the prolonged conflict. The Israel-Hamas war's repercussions add complexity, impacting global dynamics, including the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
