A new EU financial package for Kyiv is at risk, as are negotiations for the embattled country to join the bloc. Meanwhile, in the United States, support for Ukraine is suffering
In the end, it doesn’t matter too much whether people support Ukraine. It’s whether their governments support Ukraine. I doubt pulling back support for Ukraine will be a popular election tactic, especially in Europe.
Half the electorate are of below average intelligence. A quarter are outright stupid. Tell them that the money spent on Ukraine will go to schools or the health service, and the morons will believe it. They’re easy prey for ‘populists’ who offer ‘easy’ solutions.
(Populist is a stupid word. What they promise may be popular, what they deliver is inevitably less popular than wiping your peehole with a dog turd)
But unlike in Russia, whether the western governments supports Ukraine is at least kind of dependent on wether the people support Ukraine. Pulling supports it might be a bad election tactic now (although it wasn’t in Slovakia), but will it be one next year or in 2025?

It’s tiresome, but it is what it is.
“We send £350 million a week to the EU, let’s fund our NHS instead”
Narrator: they did not fund the NHS
