Americans Say No To A Blank Check For Ukraine As Congress Spats Over Which Border To Prioritize

 There is no end in sight to the grueling 21-month Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the U.S. is bearing a great deal of the cost to continue funding Ukraine's defense efforts.

According to new polling from Gallup, a full 61% of Americans say there should be an end date for providing aid to Ukraine, while just 37% say the U.S. should continue to provide aid without an end date.

Thirty-three percent of Americans say the U.S. is doing the right amount in Ukraine, and one quarter believe the U.S. isn't doing enough.

Americans are also increasingly saying that the war should be ended quickly, even if that means Ukraine ceding a portion of recently captured territory to Russia.

The share of Americans who say the war should be ended quickly is up twelve points from last fall, while the share who say Ukraine should continue fighting Russia is down twelve points.

According to the poll, it is Republicans and Independents who increasingly call for Ukraine to end the conflict with Russia as soon as possible, while Democrats largely say Ukraine should continue to fight over the disputed territory.

Most Americans are no longer tolerant of handing a blank check to Ukraine with no end date while leaving our own border in chaos.
