According to a survey conducted by Active Group in partnership with the Experts Club think tank in April 2025, more than two-thirds of Ukrainians (68.6%) have a neutral attitude towards Vietnam. At the same time, 17.4% of respondents express a positive attitude, of which 13.6% are mostly positive and 3.7% are completely positive.
In contrast, 8.2% of respondents expressed a negative attitude (in particular, 6.5% mostly negative and 1.7% completely negative), while another 5.8% of respondents were undecided.
“Historically, Vietnam has been perceived as a country with a rich culture and heroic struggle, but its geographical remoteness and lack of modern ties with Ukraine account for a large share of neutral assessments,” comments Maxim Urakin, PhD in Economics and founder of the Experts Club information and analytical center.
Attitudes toward Vietnam among Ukrainians are mostly positive, but a noticeable share of respondents were unable to give an assessment, indicating potential for shaping a stable image of the country in the public consciousness.
