Ukrainians have a mostly positive attitude toward the Czech Republic, which is an important partner in the European Union and one of the main destinations for labor migration. This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by Active Group in cooperation with the Experts Club.
According to the survey, 62% of Ukrainians expressed a positive attitude towards the Czech Republic (40.7% – mostly positive and 21.3% – completely positive). Neutral attitudes were expressed by 33% of respondents, while negative opinions accounted for only 3.3%. Another 2% of respondents admitted that they did not have sufficient information about the country.
Thus, the Czech Republic is among the countries that have a consistently high level of positive perception among Ukrainians, on par with other Central European countries.
According to the State Customs Service of Ukraine, in 2024, trade between Ukraine and the Czech Republic reached USD 1.64 billion. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE. At the same time, Ukrainian exports amounted to USD 478.7 million, and imports from the Czech Republic amounted to USD 1.16 billion. The negative balance amounted to $683.5 million.
Ukraine’s exports to the Czech Republic are mainly ferrous metals, machinery, and agricultural products. Imports from the Czech Republic consist mainly of automotive machinery, equipment, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.
“The positive attitude of Ukrainians toward the Czech Republic is explained not only by historical proximity but also by Prague’s active support for Ukraine. At the same time, economic relations between the two countries are characterized by a significant imbalance – imports from the Czech Republic significantly exceed exports. This creates prospects for the development of new areas of cooperation, especially in the fields of high technology, investment projects, and energy,” emphasized Maksym Urakin, founder of Experts Club, economist.
