Thus, according to the results of a social study commissioned by the American non-governmental organization International Republican Institute, about 50% of respondents consider Belarus and Poland to be friends of Ukraine, and the United States is in eighth place.
“It’s difficult for me to explain these results. I think Belarus is simply perceived as the country that is most sympathetic to Ukraine. At the same time, the United States does much more than sympathize. The US helps Ukraine a lot financially, diplomatically, militarily and politically.
