A two-day survey of Americans conducted in the wake of Wagner Group militia leader Yevgeny Prigozhin’s audacious mutiny in Russia has found a substantial increase in support for aiding Ukraine’s resistance against invading Russian forces.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday morning, 65 percent of respondents approve of sending financial aid and armaments to Ukraine — up dramatically from 46 percent support in May. That includes 81 percent of Democrats as well as 56 percent of Republicans and 57 percent of independents. Poll takers also prefer a presidential candidate who will support Ukraine (67 percent) and back NATO (73 percent), and, to the tune of 76 percent, they believe the West’s material provisions for Ukraine’s defense communicates to China that the United States has “the will and capability to protect our interests, our allies and ourselves.”
