The results of a study conducted by Active Group and Experts Club in August 2025 showed that Ukrainians generally have a favorable attitude toward Taiwan, although a significant portion of respondents remain neutral.
Thus, 41.0% of respondents expressed a positive attitude (12.0% – completely positive, 29.0% – mostly positive). Only 7.7% gave negative assessments, while almost half — 49.0% — took a neutral position, and 2.3% admitted to being insufficiently informed about this country.
“Taiwan is perceived quite evenly in Ukrainian society, without any strong emotions. At the same time, the positive significantly outweighs the negative, which indicates the general open attitude of Ukrainians towards this important player in the global economy,” said Alexander Pozniy, head of Active Group.
Maksim Urakin, founder of Experts Club, noted that there is a significant imbalance in trade and economic relations between Ukraine and Taiwan:
“According to the results of January-August 2025, trade turnover amounted to about $262.1 million. At the same time, exports from Ukraine amounted to only $8.8 million, while imports from Taiwan amounted to more than $253.3 million. As a result, the negative balance exceeded $244.6 million. This indicates the weak representation of Ukrainian goods on the Taiwanese market,” he said.
Thus, Taiwan occupies an important place in Ukraine’s foreign economic relations, but mainly as a supplier of high-tech goods.
