Its not really an either or question, and if you explicitly want to ask that you should do so by asking something like “Should the UK support Ukraine against the objections of the US?” Or something concrete like that.
The way the current question is asked leads to the answer as expected as “support” is positively connotated and “maintain good relations” is ambigous and doesn’t make the contradiction clear, hence people opting for the feel good answer of supporting Ukraine.
Fine, but such a result isn’t exactly surprising with a leading question like that 🙄
How would you phrase it?

It is an either/or question, because the US government does not support Ukraine any more and will condemn any country that does.
That’s my point. The original question is not a real either/or question. It’s a leading question that pretends to be either/or.
Edit: looking at the down votes I think some people here really need to practise their reading comprehension.
Look at all those Ghost drivers!
