Slim Majorities of Americans Still Support Aiding Ukraine Dina Smeltz and Lama El Baz, Chicago Council on Global Affairs While the world awaits the next steps in the ongoing peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, a just-completed Chicago Council on Global Affairs-Ipsos poll, fielded March 14-16, 2025, finds that US public opinion characterizes the conflict differently than the US administration. The vast majority of Americans have a negative view of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and most think US President Donald Trump is biased toward Russia. In addition, a majority still support providing military and economic aid to Ukraine, and most think the peace negotiations should include Russia, Ukraine, the United States and the European Union.
