On Friday, many Americans watched in horror as Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over Ukraine’s “attitude” toward the United States after three grueling years of war. Their hostility demonstrated a growing disconnect between American leaders and the popular will.
The fact is that most Americans know Ukraine’s cause is just. Ukrainians are defending themselves against a ruthless aggressor who rapes, plunders, and murders countless innocents. Most Americans know that Putin is evil. And most Americans will not remain neutral.
Amid these alarming signals of wavering U.S. support for Ukraine and growing diplomatic overtures toward Putin’s Russia, Americans are coming together to demand principled foreign policy and continued support for Ukraine and other key U.S. allies. Please contact your Senators and Representatives today to emphasize that Ukraine is our ally.
The Truth About Republican Voter Support for Ukraine
Not only are the White House’s views on Ukraine out of step with the country as a whole, but with Republican voters as well. In a recent Wall Street Journal Op-Ed, Razom revealed the result of our recent poll that backs this up:
✅ 69% of Trump supporters agree that Russia is the aggressor.
✅ 5 times more Trump supporters have a favorable opinion of President Zelenskyy than Vladimir Putin.
✅ 71% of Trump supporters are more likely to back Ukraine aid when they learn that Russia has kidnapped more than 19,000 Ukrainian children.
This poll is significant because it reveals that Republican voters hold more nuanced and supportive views on Ukraine than the White House’s stance suggests.
Why This Moment Matters
Bipartisan lawmakers have provided Ukraine with vital moral and material support over the years. But now, some leaders are reconsidering their positions and asking whether supporting Ukraine is a winning political issue. The answer is yes.
📢 Every Republican House member who voted for Ukraine aid won their primary election. The American people see supporting Ukraine as the right—and winning—choice.
That’s why it’s so important to act now.
“The failed negotiations on Friday were not a win for America or Ukraine. The only beneficiaries were Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea. Supporting Ukraine’s fight for freedom is not just about European security—it’s about U.S. national security. Russia has collaborated with Iran to attack American infrastructure, paid the Taliban for killing American soldiers, and traded military technologies with North Korea. America must send a clear message to all dictators: This is not what we stand for. Seventy percent of Republican voters say Russia is the aggressor, and 83% disapprove of Putin. It’s time to remind Washington what Americans truly care about,” – Mykola Murskyj, Director of Advocacy at Razom.
