Ukrainians most often call France, Great Britain, and Lithuania states that have a friendly attitude towards Ukraine. At the same time, Ukrainians assess the attitude of Russia and Belarus towards their country as the worst. This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by Rating Group from August 4-9.

Which countries do Ukrainians consider friendly

France received the highest rating - 81% of respondents called it definitely or rather friendly towards Ukraine.

Great Britain came in second place - 80%, and Lithuania took the third position - 77%.

Also among the top five leaders were:

Germany - 77%;

Moldova - 68%.

More than half of the respondents consider Romania (56%), the USA (54%), and Poland (50%) friendly to Ukraine.

Ukrainians' assessment of Turkey's stance is more ambiguous: 48% consider it friendly, while another 41% called Ankara's position neutral.

How Ukrainians assess Hungary and China

Hungary received the most controversial assessments. Only 23% of respondents consider it friendly to Ukraine, 36% assess its attitude as neutral, and 35% - as hostile.

Regarding China, negative assessments prevail: 53% of respondents consider Beijing's attitude towards Ukraine hostile.

As expected, Russia and Belarus have the worst indicators. 97% of Ukrainians noted a hostile attitude from Russia, and 83% from Belarus.

How assessments have changed

Compared to previous years, Ukrainians have begun to assess the attitude towards Ukraine from France, Germany, Turkey, and Hungary more positively.

At the same time, the perception of Poland's position regarding Ukraine has somewhat worsened.

We remind you that in Poland a study was conducted on why relations between Poles and Ukrainians have worsened. It shows that the reasons for the colder attitude towards Ukrainians vary depending on the respondents' political preferences. However, the largest group of respondents - 45.4% - cited disputes over the Volhynian massacre and historical policy as the main reason.
