УКР: ОПИТУВАННЯ
Analyzing the situation that is developing in Ukraine in connection with the resistance to Russia’s aggression and the reduction of aid from the USA, we decided to bring up the poll of public opinion in the USA, conducted by the Gallup company. Here are the results of the latest survey conducted at the end of last year.

American Views on the Ukraine War in 6 Charts
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Republican support for Ukraine war has withered since start of conflict
- 41% of Americans say U.S. is doing too much to support Ukraine
- Democrats remain steadfast in support of current approach to Ukraine
- 64% of Americans say neither side is winning the war
WASHINGTON, D.C. —
1. Helping Ukraine Too Much or Too Little?
As the harsh winter months approach in Ukraine, Americans’ views on the war there have shifted, with a plurality now saying the U.S. is doing too much to help Ukraine. Forty-one percent of Americans overall say the U.S. is doing too much, which has risen from 24% in August 2022 and 29% in June 2023. Thirty-three percent, down from 43% in June, say the U.S. is doing the right amount, while 25% believe the U.S. isn’t doing enough.
2. The Partisan Divide on the War Effort
Both Republicans (62%) and independents (44%) increasingly see the U.S. as doing too much to support Ukraine compared with when Gallup began asking this question in August 2022.
3. Ending the War or Going Long?
Another key question that has loomed over the conflict since it began is how it ends. In August 2022, a majority (66%) of Americans believed the U.S. should support Ukraine in reclaiming its former territory, even if this resulted in a prolonged conflict. That view has waned but not completely shifted, as 54% of Americans maintain that view. Forty-three percent now favor the U.S. trying to help end the war quickly, even if that means Ukraine cedes territory to Russia.
4. Partisans on “Staying the Course”
Partisan shifts have been significant on the question of how to end the war, with a majority of Republicans (55%) now preferring to end the conflict as soon as possible. Independents have also shifted notably on this question and are now divided evenly between those who support a prolonged conflict, with Ukraine regaining all lost territory, and those who would like to see the war end as soon as possible. Democrats continue to favor helping Ukraine regain its lost territory.
5. Financial Aid and Its Limits
While nations across Europe have contributed to the war effort in Ukraine, the U.S. has provided the lion’s share of support, which has become a hot political topic among some congressional leaders calling for limits on the funds being committed to Kyiv. Today, 61% of Americans say the financial aid Ukraine receives from Washington should have limits, with over eight in 10 Republicans sharing this view. Thirty-seven percent of Americans, including 65% of Democrats, believe the U.S. should continue to provide aid as long as Ukraine requests it.
6. Who’s Winning the War?
And finally, a question Gallup began asking in June of this year is who, if anyone, is winning the war? Today, 64% of Americans say neither side is, a seven-percentage-point increase in this view since the summer, when the world was awaiting a Ukrainian counteroffensive that stalled because of Russia’s military entrenchment across the Donbas. Interestingly, the view that neither side is currently winning the war is the only question on the war where there is at least some consistency across party ID, with little to no differences among Democrats, independents and Republicans. Democrats, however, are far more likely than Republicans and independents to believe Ukraine, rather than Russia, is winning.

Russia Isn’t Winning in Ukraine, ‘but It’s No Longer Losing’

On this basis, it can be concluded that Facebook seems to oppose the Gallup polls.
It is hardly so. It is obvious that this is the work of hackers (cyber terrorists) who interfere with the work of social networks in someone’s interests, so that the Ukrainian public does not know what is really happening in American society in its attitude to Russia’s war against Ukraine.
