As lawmakers in Washington weigh sending billions more in federal support to Kyiv to help fight off Russian aggression, close to half of the U.S. public thinks the country is spending too much on aid to Ukraine, according to poll data from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research released on November 22. Those sentiments help explain the hardening opposition among Republican lawmakers in Congress who are rebuffing efforts from President Joe Biden to approve a new tranche of Ukraine aid, arguing that the money would be better spent for domestic priorities.
