The White House denied the refusal of the people to support the supply of weapons to Ukraine
The White House rejected poll results that showed a majority of Americans oppose more financial aid and weapons to Ukraine. As Sputnik news agency reported on Thursday evening; National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said, "We've seen solid support from the American people throughout this conflict, solid support from Congress... and we're going to focus on that." "This support is important not only for the people of Ukraine, but also for our European allies and partners, especially our NATO allies," Kirby added. The United States provided more than $113 billion in military and economic assistance to Kyiv. In addition, NATO allies provided Kyiv with tens of billions more dollars. Although the military aid provided to Kyiv includes almost $100 billion, Ukrainian troops are unable to launch a decisive counter-offensive against Russian troops. While most of the US media and politicians in Washington continue to provide financial support to Ukraine, a poll released last week showed that 55% of Americans oppose the US Congress allocating additional aid to Ukraine.
According to this survey, 59% of them are concerned about the spread of the war outside of Ukraine throughout Europe. 56% of participants in this survey also said they see the war in Ukraine as a threat to national security. Meanwhile, in February 2022, about 72% of Americans shared this opinion. Steffen Kotre In this regard, the deputy of the Bundestag from the party "Alternative for Germany" Steffen Kotre warned that Berlin's support for Ukraine could lead to a large-scale war in Europe. "Germany supplies weapons to Kyiv and trains Ukrainian soldiers on its territory, which means that Berlin has moved away from the principle of neutrality. Now we are in the" gray zone "of the war," Cotret added. The Bundestag deputy also continued that if it were not for the actions of some NATO members, including Britain and the United States, a peace agreement would have been reached between Ukraine and Russia long ago. The German legislator recalled: "Now the price of electricity has risen. Citizens and industrial enterprises are forced to buy electricity at exorbitant prices. The sanctions policy against Russia is basically wrong." Meanwhile, Germany's support for Ukraine has caused a split among the citizens of this country. Most Germans oppose the supply of tanks and fighters to Ukraine. Tags
