According to the results of a sociological survey conducted by Active Group and the information and analytical center Experts Club in April 2025, the majority of Ukrainians — 63% — have a positive attitude toward Australia. Of these, 40% chose the option “mostly positive,” and another 23% — “completely positive.”
A neutral position was taken by 32.3% of respondents, while only 2.2% of citizens have a negative perception of Australia (1.9% — mostly negative, 0.4% — completely negative). It was difficult to answer — 2.4%.
“Australia has long formed an image in the minds of Ukrainians as a democratic, safe, and distant but friendly country. Its participation in international initiatives, in particular its support for Ukraine in the war, has further strengthened its positive image,” says Oleksandr Pozniy, co-founder of Active Group.
Australia ranks among the top countries in terms of Ukrainians’ favorability ratings. Its distant geographical location does not prevent the formation of a stable positive image based on international support, shared values, and cultural openness.
