Ukrainians have a predominantly neutral attitude towards Libya, although the level of negative assessments is higher than for most other North African countries. This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by Active Group in partnership with Experts Club.
According to the data, 9.3% of respondents expressed a positive attitude toward Libya (6% — mostly positive, 3.3% — completely positive). A negative attitude was expressed by 14.3% of respondents (11.7% — mostly negative, 2.7% — completely negative). The majority of Ukrainians — 69.7% — took a neutral position, while another 6.7% said they did not have enough information.
In 2024, trade turnover between Ukraine and Libya amounted to $149.7 million, of which exports accounted for $141.7 million and imports for $8.1 million. The positive balance was $133.6 million.
“Libya remains a traditional market for Ukrainian agricultural products, but political instability in that country affects both trade dynamics and perceptions among Ukrainians. The high level of neutrality indicates a lack of knowledge, as well as the absence of stable humanitarian and cultural ties,” commented economist and founder of Experts Club Maksim Urakin.
