Survey:
Majority of :
Americans oppose additional aid to Kiev :
A CNN poll revealed that more than half of Americans oppose
the U.S. Congress providing additional aid to Ukraine.
According to the survey :
- 55% participants said that no additional assistance
- should be allocated to the Kiev Government
- while 45% participants supported funding
and 51% Americans believed that
the United States had done enough for Ukraine.

replied that the type of support Kiev needed was to help gather intelligence
hile 53% chose to help with military training for the Ukrainian military.
Only 17% of respondents believe US military involvement is necessary in the conflict.
The survey was completed from July 1 to 31 on
1,279 U.S. citizens, an error rate estimated at 3.7 degrees.
On 1 August :
Politico reported that Washington
could announce another package of military assistance to Kiev early next week.
The latest military aid package for Ukraine :
granted by US President Joe Biden's administration
included additional air defence systems
artillery :
and other ammunition
as well as $400 million in armoured vehicles and anti-tank weapons.
The Russian ambassador to the United States :
Anatoly Antonov, said on July 25 that Washington's actions, which continue to pump weapons to its Ukrainian agents, go beyond morality and common sense.
The diplomat noted that :
the United States was trying to present itself as an impartial donor to
Ukraine and manipulating public opinion, hiding the real objectives of its policy.
According to a recent CNN poll :
a majority of Americans (55%) oppose Congress authorizing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia. This is a significant shift from previous polls, which showed that a majority of Americans supported additional aid to Ukraine.
The poll also found that :
- there are significant partisan divides on the issue of
- aid to Ukraine. For example, 74% of
- Democrats support additional funding, while only 26% of Republicans do.
There are a number of :
factors that may be contributing to this shift in public opinion.
One factor is that the war in Ukraine has been going on for over a year now, and some Americans may be feeling fatigued by the conflict.
Another factor is that :
the war has had a significant impact on the global economy
and some Americans may be concerned about
the potential costs of further escalating the conflict.

public opinion :
and it is possible that the results could change in the future.
However :
- the poll does suggest that
- there is a growing sense of
- war fatigue in the United States
and this could have implications for :
how the Biden administration responds to the conflict in Ukraine.
