Most Ukrainians have a positive attitude towards Kazakhstan, but a significant proportion of respondents remain neutral. This is evidenced by the results of a sociological survey conducted by Active Group in cooperation with the Experts Club analytical center in April 2025.
According to the survey, 45.8% of respondents have a positive attitude toward Kazakhstan: 34.2% are mostly positive, and 11.6% are completely positive. At the same time, 47.3% of respondents took a neutral position.
Only 3.9% expressed a negative attitude (in particular, 3.0% mostly negative and 0.9% completely negative). Another 3.0% of respondents abstained from answering.
Analysts explain the results by Kazakhstan’s stable image as a partner country with which Ukrainians do not associate conflict narratives. At the same time, the high level of neutrality indicates limited communication at the cultural and informational levels.

Only 5.0% of Ukrainians have a positive perception of Palestine, of which 3.4% indicated a mostly positive attitude and 1.7% — completely positive. Another 8.8% were undecided.
“The neutrality and negativity of Ukrainians’ attitudes toward Palestine indicate a lack of clear emotional connection with this country and a prevailing sympathy for Israel in the context of the ongoing regional conflict,” said Maksim Urakin, founder of Experts Club.

Thus, 42.1% of respondents expressed a positive attitude toward Israel (33.1% — mostly positive, 9.0% — completely positive). A neutral position was taken by 39.8% of respondents.

“According to Ukrainian citizens, Israel is perceived very positively, both because of historical ties and because of the image of the country as a high-tech state with competent healthcare and a high standard of living,” said Maksim Urakin, candidate of economic sciences and founder of the Experts Club information and analytical center.
Experts note that the positive perception of Israel among Ukrainians may be linked to diplomatic relations, humanitarian aid, and the country’s technological development.

The mayor of Niš, Dragoslav Pavlović, has announced the prospects of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba coming to southern Serbia. This became possible after the signing of a memorandum of cooperation with the Chinese city of Hangzhou, the birthplace of Alibaba. The document confirms the partnership within the framework of the Digital Silk Road initiative and provides for the intensification of Chinese investment in the region.
According to Pavlovic, the possibility of building an Alibaba logistics center in Nis is being discussed, as well as the implementation of projects in the fields of science and education. However, at this point, there has been no official confirmation from Alibaba or Chinese authorities regarding these plans.
Earlier it was reported that AliExpress, a subsidiary of Alibaba, is considering the possibility of setting up warehouses in Serbia to speed up the delivery of goods to countries in Southeast Europe. According to Serbia Business, such plans were discussed after the Chinese president’s visit to Serbia in 2024.
In addition, as part of the expansion of transport infrastructure in Niš, the Chinese company Shandong Hi-Speed Group has signed a contract to modernize the Constantine the Great Airport. The project, worth more than $153 million, includes the reconstruction of the runway, the expansion of the apron, and the construction of new taxiways.
Thus, Niš is becoming an important center for Chinese-Serbian cooperation, bringing together initiatives in logistics, infrastructure, and digital trade.

The results of a sociological survey conducted by Active Group in collaboration with Experts Club show that 65.2% of Ukrainians have a neutral attitude toward Chile, while another 9.2% were unable to answer the question. This means that for many, the country remains on the periphery of the information space.
At the same time, 19.4% of respondents have a positive attitude toward Chile (15.1% mostly positive, 4.3% completely positive). A negative perception was expressed by 6.2% (5.6% mostly negative, 0.6% completely negative).
“Chile is associated with economic reform, democracy, and attractive tourism. However, due to its geographical remoteness and lack of regular coverage in the Ukrainian media, it does not form a stable emotional background among the population,” notes Maksim Urakin, PhD in Economics and founder of the Experts Club information and analytical center.
Chile is mostly seen as neutral by Ukrainians, but positive associations with reforms and stability give it the potential to build a clearer image in Ukrainian minds.

According to the results of a survey conducted by Active Group and Experts Club, most Ukrainians refrain from actively evaluating Uruguay. 71% of respondents described their attitude as neutral, while another 12.1% were unable to decide.
However, 12.4% of respondents expressed a positive attitude (9.2% mostly positive, 3.2% completely positive). Only 4.4% expressed a negative attitude (3.7% mostly negative, 0.7% completely negative).
“The positive attitude towards Uruguay is linked to its stable democratic image in Latin America. However, the country remains largely unknown to most Ukrainians, which explains the high level of neutrality,” comments Maksim Urakin, PhD in Economics and founder of the Experts Club information and analytical center.
Uruguay is perceived by Ukrainians as neutral or moderately positive. The indicators show a lack of stereotypes, but also a low level of awareness about the country.
