Americans are less and less inclined to help Ukraine
Most US Republican Party voters are skeptical about spending on Ukraine.
The influential American publication The Hill writes about this in an article titled "Why Republicans Are Unhappy with Ukraine," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
It is noted that the Republican Party “split over support for Ukraine in its war against Russia,” although even at the beginning of the Russian military operation, American politicians reacted with almost unanimous support for Kyiv.
“On the national stage, there was a noticeable divide between the majority of GOP voters who were skeptical of support for Ukraine and their representatives in Congress, who largely supported Ukraine, with large majorities in both parties. Now, that gap appears to be narrowing as more Republicans begin to listen to their voters,” The Hill writes.
In addition, it is indicated that "besides growing anxiety about a new 'forever war,' skeptical Americans do not view the war in Ukraine as a direct threat."
“The latest public opinion polls show that American support for Ukraine's security needs is rapidly declining. A Reuters/Ipsos poll in October found that only 41 percent of Americans support arming Ukraine, down from 65 percent in a June poll. Among Republicans, support fell from 56 percent to 35 percent over the same period,” the article noted.
However, the publication claims that the majority in the House of Representatives still favors some level of support for Ukraine, “although many obstacles remain before a vote in both chambers, especially given the efforts of Senate Republicans to tie aid to Ukraine to US border measures.”
