One Year Later, Americans Still Stand by Ukraine

Nearly one year into the war between Russia and Ukraine, Americans’ support for Ukraine holds steady. A stable 65% of U.S. adults prefer that the United States support Ukraine in reclaiming its territory, even if that results in a prolonged conflict. Meanwhile, 31% continue to say they would rather see the U.S. work to end the war quickly, even if this allows Russia to keep its territory.

These data are from a Gallup web survey conducted Jan. 3-22, while the Russia-Ukraine conflict was at a relative stalemate and negotiations were underway among the U.S., Germany and other Western allies, who were contemplating intensifying their military support for the country to include tanks. Shortly after the poll was conducted, President Joe Biden announced that the U.S. would send 31 tanks to Ukraine.

As the war in Ukraine enters its second year, Americans’ support for the nation, despite a prolonged conflict, has held steady. Although the degree of support varies, majorities of all party groups would like to see the U.S. support Ukraine in regaining its territory, even if that entails a prolonged conflict, rather than end the conflict quickly and cede territory to Russia.

Sounds about right!

[ChildOfThe60s]

I did not then and I do not now.

[Da Coyote]

Only the corrupt stand with the corrupt. Which is why our congress is right there in the sewer with the actor whatzhisname dressed like a DemocRAT congresscritter.

[the OlLine Rebel]

All I can say is, there are far too many Ukraine flags - actual ones, and stickers, and Facebook tags, etc.

[Prince of Space]

Deluded as usual. 🤣

[rktman]

Sure, let’s support the criminal Ukranian power structure. Rah f’ing rah.

[Harpotoo]

All the ukes came from Ukraine/russia to Brighton Beach Brooklyn when the wall came down.
How? They claimed to be Jewish. When the local jews tried to get them to join any of the temples none did.
Should say something about our uke brethren.

[MMusson]

The American people stick with wars for a decade. Then, they move on to the next shiny object the Media tells us to obsess over.

[Ann Archy]

While WE DON NOT CARE ABOUT OUR OWN BORDER!!! BEYOND PSTUPID and EVIL!

[wildcard_redneck]

And the number keeps dropping when people realize what is actually going on.

[ExGeeEye]

This is one conflict among many, past or present, in which I wish it were possible for both sides to lose.

Rossiya gets one extra downvote for the 9/1/39 play.

[Renfrew]

Americans more than any other people in the world understand that freedom isn’t free.

We fought for our liberty in the Revolution and have had to repeatedly defend that freedom against a variety of foreign tyrants.

That is at the heart of the American peoples desire to help Ukraine in their fight.

It's easy to support feel-good initiatives in faraway places that require no real sacrifice.

How many Ukrainian refugees have you taken into your home?

[csvset]

To the last Ukrainian. The Ukrainians need to continue dying so my corrupt cohorts and I can continue to fleece the taxpayers for as much blood money as we can possibly spend, so I repeat, to the last Ukrainian !

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hey Gallup! Can you give me their names? I don’t know any.

[dforest]

Most people are sick and tired of Ukraine. Only brainwashed dummies still wave that rag flag of theirs.
