Only 36 percent of Americans approve of President Donald Trump 's stance on the Russia -Ukraine war, while 47 percent disapprove, according to multiple polls.

A significant portion of Americans , including 27 percent of Republicans and 89 percent of Democrats , believe that Trump is "too closely aligned" with Russia .

Polls come after the president had a heated confrontation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office on February 28 .

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday : "We agree with the proposals to halt the fighting, but we proceed from the assumption that the ceasefire should lead to lasting peace and remove the root causes of the crisis." Questions remain over how Trump 's approach to diplomacy will influence U.S. support for Ukraine and its allies. With ongoing geopolitical shifts, the implications of the latest confrontation could reverberate well beyond the White House . Related Articles Start your unlimited Newsweek trial.
