Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : "Thousands of Ukrainian troops are completely surrounded by the Russian military," Trump wrote in all capital letters.
37% : "Reports of the alleged 'encirclement' of Ukrainian units by the enemy in the Kursk region are false and fabricated by the Russians for political manipulation and to exert pressure on Ukraine and its partners," Ukraine's general staff said in a statement Friday. Ukraine's incursion into Russia in August marked the first time a foreign army had occupied Russian land since World War II. As Ukrainian troops came under pressure in Kursk, President Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, met Putin in Moscow on Thursday to try to advance a proposed ceasefire agreement in Ukraine.
26% : Or will the Ukrainian leadership order them to lay down arms and surrender?" In a social media post on Friday, Trump indicated Ukrainian troops faced dire circumstances, though he did not specify where.
