Additionally, the percentage of Americans who believe the previous amount\u200c of\u2062 $113 billion\u2064 given to Ukraine was \u200dthe right amount decreased from 33 percent to 27 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, \u2064the most notable change \u200bin opinion between the two surveys \u200cwas regarding the idea of providing even more\u2064 funds to\u2064 the Zelensky regime.
