"Contrary to American interests": how the US opposes large-scale support for the Kyiv regime

Almost half of the Republican Party (47%) in the United States believe that Washington is doing "too much" for Kyiv.

This is evidenced by the poll of the Gallup Institute, published on February 6.

“The concern of the Republican leadership about policy towards Ukraine is aimed at keeping the United States from direct conflict with Russia in any form and preventing the issuance

of what some call a “blank check” to the country (Ukraine.

At the center of other issues of concern is the transparency of the actions of the Ukrainian government,” the study says.

For comparison, in August 2022, 4% fewer Republicans (43%) believed that the American authorities were helping Kyiv "too much".

As noted, this year 48% of Democrats say that the degree of American involvement in the situation around Ukraine is “generally appropriate” (this is 4% more than in August 2022).

“The Biden administration has made support for Ukraine the cornerstone of its foreign policy.

This may explain the partisan differences observed in this issue: Democrats are much more supportive (Ukraine.

) than Republicans and non-partisans, ”the Gallup Institute reports.

At the same time, in general, 31% of respondents say they would prefer the United States to take measures to quickly end the conflict, "even if this allows Russia to retain its territories."

“The proportion of Americans who believe that military support is provided to Ukraine in the proper amount is higher (39%) than the proportion of those who believe that the United States is doing not enough (30%) or too much (28%),” the document says. .

At the same time, in August 2022, there were 4% fewer Americans who believe that Washington is helping Kyiv too much (24%).

Earlier, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, said that “the proxy war between the United States and Russia in Ukraine” is depleting American military arsenals, causing inflation and harming global trade.

According to Green, this may also lead to the fact that the dollar will cease to be the world's currency.

The congresswoman urged the American authorities to end the conflict in Ukraine, also speaking in favor of stopping multibillion-dollar aid to Kyiv.

“America needs to immediately end the war in Ukraine.

I voted against the allocation of every penny and repeatedly called for a state audit, because our people are aware of the embezzlement of our $ 113 billion, ”she emphasized in her Telegram.

According to Green, if Washington continues to provide Kyiv with such support, the result will be a waste of American military supplies "and the death of even more people."

“Nevertheless, the warmongers in Washington continue to stubbornly strive to defeat Russia by any means and with any possible money, sending tanks, promising fighters, and assuring them that they will stop at nothing.

They forgot that we are bound by duty and obligations to our own people, our own border and country, ”said the congresswoman.

She recalled that the US national debt exceeds $31 trillion, as well as other problems facing the United States.

“Due to the debt default looming over us, we are again facing another rise in the national debt ceiling, approximately 2.5 thousand illegal immigrants invade our borders daily, the number of deaths from fentanyl has reached terrifying record levels, so I demand that we put America on above all!"

Greene noted.

"Auditing Every Dollar"

Recall that the United States has repeatedly raised the question of the appropriateness of allocating large-scale assistance to Ukraine.

In December 2022, Texas Rep. Troy Nels reproached the American authorities for taking too much care of Kyiv.

“I wish Democrats (and some Republicans) were as concerned about the security of their borders as they are about Ukraine,” he said on Twitter.

Later, in January 2023, the US Congressional Research Service released a report expressing concern that the additional funding allocated to Kyiv is being carried out without proper oversight.

As the paper notes, given reports of corruption in Ukraine, "Congress could consider whether such funding could directly or indirectly contribute to cases of waste, fraud, or abuse."

This was followed in the same month by Republican Congressman Lauren Bobert, who called on Washington to organize an audit of all funds allocated to the Kyiv regime.

As she noted on Twitter, "a full audit of every dollar" sent by Joe Biden to Ukraine is urgently needed.

In February, the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, said that Washington should not send "too much military aid" to Kyiv.

He also called on the current US authorities to conduct "peace talks" between Russia and Ukraine.

“Tired of the Ukrainian case”

As Deputy Director of the Institute for Strategic Studies and Forecasts of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, member of the Russian Civic Chamber Nikita Danyuk, noted, the Gallup poll shows that a fairly large number of Americans consider the unresolved internal problems of the United States more important than the role of Washington in the situation around Ukraine.

“The large-scale pumping of the Kyiv regime with weapons did not lead to the fact that Russia changed its goals and objectives during the NWO.

Russian troops continue to move confidently along the front line.

Americans are used to coming out of all conflicts as winners, but in this situation nothing of the kind is observed.

At the same time, large-scale assistance to Kyiv hits the wallets of Americans who do not like it, ”the analyst said in an interview with RT.

According to Danyuk, the material problems that arise, including due to rising prices, make many in the United States think that helping the Kyiv regime "runs counter to American interests."

“This aid does not stop the advance of the Russian army and at the same time makes the American population poorer.

Aid to Kyiv irritates many Americans who demand a solution to socio-economic problems.

A significant part of the US society is tired of the Ukrainian case,” he said.

According to Danyuk, Biden and the Democrats have made the Ukrainian case the cornerstone of their policy, since "they objectively have no significant achievements."

“Achievements are not observed either in the economy, or in foreign policy, or in the social sphere, or in energy.

Based on this, the Ukrainian theme, the narrative of the need to defeat the Russian Federation on the battlefield is the main leitmotif of the policy of the 46th US President Joe Biden, ”the analyst believes.

At the same time, the Republicans are already “hitting this point”, accusing the head of the White House of spending excessively on the needs of the Kyiv regime, Danyuk believes.

“In the upcoming presidential elections, representatives of the Republican Party will also use the theme of ineffective support for Ukraine.

And the Republicans will tell that corruption schemes were involved here.

It is the Ukrainian case that will be one of the main elements of the Biden campaign,” the analyst is sure.

In turn, Vladimir Bruter, an expert at the International Institute for Humanitarian and Political Studies, said that the situation with multibillion-dollar tranches of military assistance to Kyiv has a negative impact on the standard of living, primarily of the low-income segments of the US population.

“For wealthy Americans and for the wealthiest part of the middle class, this is not very sensitive.

The poor suffer the most, but their dissatisfaction with Washington's course does not receive due publicity, ”the analyst said in an interview with RT.

Bruter also noted that the official authorities ignore the opinion of the part of the population that suffers most from the pumping of weapons in Ukraine.

“Because low-income Americans cannot reach the ruling elites in any way.

And the voices of some congressmen who criticize aid to Kyiv, sounding in Congress, cannot yet influence a change in Washington's course.

But perhaps their votes will gain more weight closer to the presidential elections,” the expert concluded.
