Germany remains among the countries toward which Ukrainians feel deep sympathy, despite some criticism in the early stages of the war. This is evidenced by the results of a public opinion poll conducted by Active Group in April 2025 in cooperation with Experts Club.
According to the data, 68.8% of respondents have a positive attitude toward Germany (45.0% — mostly positive, 23.7% — completely positive). A negative assessment was given by 6.7% of Ukrainians (5.8% mostly negative, 0.9% completely negative). Another 22.4% of respondents expressed a neutral attitude, and 2.1% abstained from answering.
“Attitudes toward Germany demonstrate a transformation in public opinion: from skepticism to gratitude for military and financial assistance, as well as for accepting the largest number of refugees. These processes intensified significantly in 2023–2024,” commented Alexander Pozniy, co-founder of Active Group.
The study also highlights growing trust in partners who have confirmed their support with real actions over time.
