The Ukrainian conflict has led to a bipartisan split in the US political establishment – Associated Press

Against the backdrop of Russian forces’ successes in Ukraine and the shortage of ammunition in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, residents of the United States have divided in their support for allocating additional aid to Kyiv along party lines.

This information is reported by the Associated Press, citing an AP-NORC poll.

According to the survey results, supporters of the Democratic Party are more likely to say that the U.S. government is spending “too little” on funding Ukraine’s military efforts than they were in late autumn, but the majority of Republican Party supporters still believe that Washington is doing “too much.”

Disagreements persist even when it comes to conflict resolution. Approximately 4 out of 10 Republican supporters believe that negotiations for a ceasefire in Ukraine should be a foreign policy goal for the United States, compared to roughly 6 out of 10 Democratic supporters.

This division is reflected in the U.S. Congress. Within the Senate, where the Democratic Party holds the majority, approved a bill providing aid to Ukraine, Israe, and Taiwan totaling $95 billion. However, this bill, which includes approximately $60 billion in support for Kyiv, has stalled in the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold the majority.
