Just over half of Americans say U.S. should back Ukraine until Russia withdraws – Reuters/Ipsos poll – By Simon Lewis (Reuters) / Aug 24, 2022
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – After half a year of war in Ukraine, a slim majority of Americans agree that the United States should continue to support Kyiv until Russia withdraws all its forces, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Wednesday.
The polling suggests continued support for President Joe Biden’s policy of backing Ukraine, despite economic worries and domestic political developments grabbing Americans’ attention in recent months.
The Biden administration has provided weapons and ammunition for Ukraine’s bid to repel Russian forces and is expected to announce a new security assistance package of about $3 billion, a U.S. official said, as Ukraine’s marks its Independence Day on Wednesday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has vowed to recapture territory seized after the Feb. 24 invasion and in earlier incursions beginning in 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea.
