WASHINGTON (AP) — Half of the people in the U.S. support the Pentagon’s ongoing supply of weapons to Ukraine for its defense against Russian forces. That’s according to a new survey by the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy and NORC. The survey finds American support for Washington’s backing of Ukraine has ebbed slightly since the war began 15 months ago. But U.S. public support for Ukraine’s defense remains strong. Samuel Charap is a senior political scientist at the RAND Corp. research center. He says, “There’s no ground-swelling of American Ukraine fatigue here, and that has always been the fear.”
