According to a survey conducted by Active Group and the Experts Club analytical center in April 2025, Japan was included in the list of countries with the highest level of positive perception among Ukrainians.
The majority of respondents — 66.0% — expressed a positive attitude toward Japan: 39.1% — mostly positive, and 26.9% — completely positive. Neutral attitudes toward the country were expressed by 26.9% of respondents, another 3.6% were undecided, and only 3.6% expressed negative attitudes (of which 2.4% were mostly negative and 1.1% were completely negative).
“Ukrainians traditionally have great respect for Japan. It is a country of high technology, a stable economy, a culture of discipline and solidarity,” said Maxim Urakin, candidate of economic sciences and founder of the Experts Club information and analytical center.
Japan is perceived as a country with a high cultural reputation and technological leadership and is among the leaders in terms of positive attitudes among Ukrainians, while the level of negativity is one of the lowest among all countries.
