PUBLIC OPINION: Is Unwavering US Support for Ukraine a Must?
Kyiv Post hit the streets of New York City to find out what people think about the ongoing turmoil in Washing DC and the threat it poses to aid for Ukraine.
In October Kazakhstan offered 117 old Soviet-era combat aircraft for sale by auction and it has now been reported that the US has bought 81 of them through offshore intermediaries.

New York City is hardly representative of the US. And luckily so. Ukraine's messaging was simple a year ago and 90 percent of America was onboard. Unfortunately, the messaging has seemingly lost its way because it seems people in Kyiv do not understand, for example, that NYC is not representative of mainstream America, and news platforms of questionable veracity are being used to message Ukraine's importance. Kyiv is getting bad advice regarding messaging its cause.
Messaging? The messaging of one year ago is the same as it is today...we are fighting for our national sovereignty, freedom, land, people...our very right to exist as a nation and people.
What do you and mainstream America not understand about that messaging?
The real question that should have been posed..."Is it a must for the US to honor it's national word and legally binding obligations to Ukraine?"
Yes. Combating Russian aggression is going to happen regardless of whether you help Poland deal with Germany. It's American boots on the ground when Russia goes for the Baltics. You have to be completely stupid to ignore what Russia is saying they're going to do, and what they've done. Read foundations of geopolitics. Brexit, division in US & Canada, and Ukraine are all in there. It's everything that Russia is stopped, now.

@Tom S,

The continuing Russian invasion of a free an independent Ukraine is the greatest threat to world peace and stability since WWIi. Quite certain the average American recognize this and strongly support continuing assistance. Even Federal politicians of both parties do. Sure, there are a few isolationist and moronic politicians who play the America First trash. But common sense prevails and evil is always defeated. Nothing to worry about until Putin is defeated, deposed, and replaced. Germans and Japanese learned a tough lesson and rapidly reformed and rejoined civilization. Russia can too!
The Ukraine War is not simply a local or regional dispute - it has significant implications for geostrategic world order. Ultimately if the US does not continue to back Ukraine, the US is going to look weak, which will not be good for US interests globally.
Any person politician or county that doesn't think we all should support Ukraine, doesn't understand the threat Russia poses to the free world. We all must stop Russia's evil imperialism.
