Syrian is perceived by Ukrainians as mostly neutral, but still with a noticeable share of negative assessments, despite the change in military and political leadership. This is evidenced by the results of a sociological survey conducted by Active Group in collaboration with the Experts Club analytical center in April 2025.
According to the data, 7.5% of Ukrainians have a positive attitude toward Syria (5.4% — mostly positive, 2.1% — completely positive), while 29.5% express a negative opinion (23.6% — mostly negative, 6.0% — completely negative). 53.1% of respondents said they had a neutral attitude, and 9.9% were undecided.
“The high level of neutrality combined with a significant share of negative attitudes indicates the complexity of perceptions of Syria in Ukrainian society. The change of the Assad regime has significantly reduced this negativity, but Syria’s overall image remains ambiguous,” commented Alexander Pozniy, co-founder of Active Group, on the results.
