Nearly half of Americans oppose sending military aid to Ukraine unless the United States is involved in diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis, according to a new poll by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Government.

The poll found that almost half of respondents (47%) said they only supported continued US military assistance to Ukraine if Washington was involved in ongoing diplomacy. About 40% expressed their support for the supply of weapons to Kyiv, regardless of the negotiation process.

Nearly 58% say they would oppose US military aid to Ukraine at current levels if their country is suffering from high gas and commodity prices. The poll also showed that 57% of potential voters support the United States continuing diplomatic negotiations as soon as possible to end the crisis, with only 32% opposing such efforts.

“Americans understand what few in Washington are doing because the crisis in Ukraine is likely to end at the negotiating table rather than on the battlefield,” said Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute. And she continued: “Doubts are growing about Washington’s approach to this crisis, which has been tough in tough rhetoric and military assistance and soft in diplomatic strategy and action.”
