The United States remains the main strategic partner in the world for Ukrainians, but there is still a significant segment of critical and neutral attitudes in society. This is evidenced by the results of an all-Ukrainian survey conducted by Active Group in cooperation with the Experts Club information and analytical center in August 2025.
According to the survey, 50.3% of Ukrainian citizens have a positive attitude towards the United States (42.0% – mostly positive, 8.3% – completely positive). Only 18.0% of respondents expressed a negative attitude (15.7% – mostly negative, 2.3% – completely negative). Another 30.7% of Ukrainians are neutral, and 1.3% said they were not sufficiently aware of the country.
“The United States remains a key ally for Ukraine in the military, political, and diplomatic spheres. However, the trade and economic dimension is also worth noting: in the first half of 2025, bilateral trade exceeded $2.85 billion, of which exports from Ukraine amounted to $544.5 million and imports from the United States exceeded $2.31 billion. The negative balance of $1.77 billion shows a high level of dependence on American goods, but at the same time indicates the scale of cooperation and the importance of the United States for our economy,” said Maksym Urakin, founder of Experts Club.
In his turn, Oleksandr Poznyi, co-founder of Active Group, emphasized that sociological indicators reflect a complex but stable system of trust.
“Ukrainians highly appreciate the US assistance in the war and international politics. Despite some critical assessments, half of the citizens perceive the United States positively, and almost a third remain neutral. This means that the United States continues to be the No. 1 country for Ukrainian society in the security dimension, and economic cooperation only strengthens this position,” he added.
The survey was part of a comprehensive study of international sympathies and antipathies of Ukrainians in the current geopolitical environment.
