❗️ Norway and Britain want to lead a new coalition to provide Kiev with warships, the British Ministry of Defense said.

That West is investing in further hostilities supplying weapons and equipment to Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry earlier said.

📊 Nearly half of American voters say the US is providing too much aid to Ukraine, revealing a fragility in domestic support ahead of Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Washington to seek additional funding.

The FT-Michigan Ross poll highlights that 48% believe the US is providing "too much" in military and financial support for Kiev's efforts against Russia, compared to 27% who think it's the "right amount" and 11% who think it's insufficient. This sentiment is much stronger among Republicans, with 65% saying the aid is excessive, while 52% of independents and only 32% of Democrats share this view.

These findings surface as Zelensky prepares for a meeting with Biden to emphasize the US commitment to Ukraine's war effort, and the poll's implications loom large for pro-Ukraine Republicans in Congress who face hurdles in securing the funding.
