Lebanon evokes a predominantly neutral, but somewhat cautious attitude among Ukrainian citizens. This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by Active Group in cooperation with the Experts Club think tank in April 2025.
According to the survey, 65.8% of Ukrainians expressed a neutral position towards Lebanon. Only 5.2% of respondents spoke positively about the country (3.7% mostly positive, 1.5% completely positive), while 19.4% expressed a negative attitude (16.4% mostly negative, 3.0% completely negative). Another 9.5% of respondents were unable to answer.
“Ukrainian society perceives Lebanon through the prism of regional instability and religious and political conflicts in the Middle East. This affects the country’s image in the information field,” said Oleksandr Pozniy, co-founder of Active Group.
These data demonstrate both the insufficient level of contact between the two countries and the influence of global stereotypes on public perception.
