Ukrainians’ attitude towards Slovakia: more neutrality, but negative feelings prevail over positive ones

7 May , 2025  

Against the backdrop of pan-European support for Ukraine, Ukrainians’ attitude towards Slovakia remains controversial. These data were published in April 2025 based on the results of a study conducted by Active Group and the Experts Club analytical center.

According to the survey, only 19.8% of Ukrainians have a positive attitude toward Slovakia (16.4% — mostly positive, 3.4% — completely positive). At the same time, 34.6% of respondents expressed a negative attitude (27.3% — mostly negative, 7.3% — completely negative). The majority of respondents (41.5%) chose a neutral position, while another 4.1% were undecided.

“Despite geographical proximity and some humanitarian support, public opinion on Slovakia has been shaped by political fluctuations and weak communication on issues related to aid to Ukraine,” said Maxim Urakin, founder of Experts Club.

The survey emphasizes that even neutral or allied countries can lose trust if they do not support it with active actions and a public position.

The presentation of the study is available at the link.
