65 % Americans against US providing military aid to Ukraine

A majority of Americans think the United States should not provide military aid and equipment to Ukraine, a new poll has found.

The CBS News Poll found that nearly 65 percent Americans think the U.S. should not provide military aid to Ukraine in response to Russia”s annexation of Crimea and other attacks, as compared to just 26 percent who think the US should.

The poll found that majorities of Republicans, 59 percent, Democrats, 67 percent, and independents, 69 percent, also believe the US should not provide military aid to Ukraine. A majority of Americans, 69 percent, somewhat believe the situation between Russia and Ukraine will become a more widespread conflict involving neighboring countries and other parts of Europe, including 27 percent who think that is very likely. However, most Americans don”t think the U.S. is obliged to intervene there: 61 percent of Americans do not think the U.S. has a responsibility to do something about the situation between Russia and Ukraine, nearly twice as many as think the U.S. does have that responsibility, the poll found.
