There is generally no fatigue from the war in Ukraine among Americans, although interest has waned. The US population understands that this is an important war and Kyiv must win it, — former US ambassador to NATO and head of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs Ivo Daadler in a POLITICO column.

"The reason that politicians actively use the issue of Ukraine in their political rhetoric is only that the percentage of those who support Ukraine among Republicans is smaller, and it is gradually decreasing. However, even now the majority of republicans are in favor of military support for Kyiv in the war.

Whatever happens in the American Congress, the majority of Americans support Ukraine in the war with Russia, and the majority is in favor of military and economic aid.

According to recent results of a survey by the Council on Global Affairs, 63% of Americans support sending additional military aid, and 61% are in favor of economic aid. And if we compare it with the results of the poll last November, support for the first question has decreased by two percent, which is within the sociological margin of error, and for the issue of money allocation, by five percent. Also, most Americans understand and accept the fact that the war in Ukraine is dragging on. Only 14% of respondents believe that it will end within a year, 34% believe that it will continue for more than a year, the same number speak of a period of two to five years, and 15% believe that active hostilities will last for more than five years.

Therefore, the best scenario now is to support the allocation of $60 billion from the budget to Ukraine, which would be enough until the American presidential elections next November.
The majority of Americans support this step — it's a matter for the politicians," said Daadler.
