Ukrainian approval of US leadership fell to 7 percent in April 2026, according to a Gallup poll reported by Semafor. The figure marks a 59-point decline from the 66 percent recorded four years earlier, when the war began and US military support increased. Semafor said the drop represents the largest single-country decline in approval of America over five years.
Two-thirds of Ukrainians said they support negotiations to end the war rather than continued fighting. Most respondents did not expect the conflict to conclude within the next year. A separate Gallup poll found that Russians’ assessment of their country’s economic situation reached a 20-year low, Semafor reported, indicating sustained pressure from the war on Moscow.
