Popular support for U.S. arms supplies remain but has fallen for sanctions against Russia
Daniel Leal—AFP/Getty ImagesWASHINGTON — Like the blue and yellow flags that popped up around the U.S. when Russia invaded Ukraine 15 months ago, U.S. popular support for Washington’s backing of Ukraine has faded a little but remains widespread, a survey by the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy and NORC shows.
And about three out of four people in the U.S. support the United States playing at least some role in the conflict, the survey found. “There are other things happening at the same time,” she said. “But I feel the very strong bipartisan support.” Overall, however, the findings show that a couple of early concerns U.S. policymakers had about the strong material assistance for Ukraine have yet to be realized: that public support would crater if the war dragged on, and that the heavy assistance to Ukraine would become a partisan wedge issue, splitting Democrats and Republicans.
From the start of the Ukraine war, “there was killing of civilians, raping,” Hill said. “It didn’t seem like a moral-run military in the first place.”By contrast, video showing the courage of a Ukrainian fighter as he appeared to be executed by Russian fighters stood out to Hill. “His last words were something along the lines of ‘Slava Ukraini,’” or “Glory to Ukraine,” Hill said.
