A majority of the US public continues to back current military and financial aid to Kyiv, recent polls find.

But those feeling an economic pinch are more likely to say that Moscow should enter peace negotiations.

A solid majority (69%) say that it would never be justified for Moscow to use a tactical nuclear weapon in its current military operation against Kyiv.

A slim majority think Moscow should open up negotiations, but it is unclear what they might be willing to concede.

Nearly half of Americans (47%) now say Washington should urge Kyiv to settle for peace as soon as possible.

But neither Americans or Ukrainians think the sanctions will force Russia to withdraw troops from Ukraine in the immediate future.

Survey results show the public remains supportive of US assistance to Ukraine—even if it means paying higher gas and food prices at home.

US aid would not have been nearly as effective without Ukraine’s efforts to improve its military prior to the 2022 Russian invasion.
