Most Americans oppose sending troops to fight in UkraineAccording to a new poll, many Americans support aid to Ukraine, but most oppose sending US troops to the country to fight.

A new poll by the Yoga Institute in the midst of Western and Moscow tensions over Ukraine, released on Friday, found that 42 percent of Americans surveyed said the United States should send financial aid to Ukraine, while 24 percent said They called it a bad comment and 34% said they were not sure.

Fifty-five percent of Americans said they would oppose sending US troops to fight Russian troops if Russia allegedly invades Ukraine. Only 13% of respondents thought this was a good idea. Thirty-four percent of Americans disagreed with the deployment of Ukrainian troops to Ukraine to help, but not to fight the Russians in the event of an invasion. 33% supported the idea and 33% were skeptical.

The Biden administration has previously stated that the United States will support Ukraine, but is reluctant to send troops to the country. On Saturday, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered the withdrawal of 160 US troops from Ukraine because US officials claim the invasion could happen at any moment.

According to the poll, Americans took a more positive view of measures that do not require the direct deployment of forces in Ukraine, such as imposing sanctions on Russia, sending troops to NATO countries and sending weapons to Ukraine. Fifty percent of Americans who took part in the poll said it was a good idea to impose sanctions on Russia. Only 20 percent of those polled said they disagreed with the idea. Forty percent of Americans agreed with the deployment of troops to the Allies, while 23 percent of respondents opposed such measures. The survey was conducted from February 5 to 8 with the participation of 1,500 American adults and its margin of error was positive or negative 3%.
