Most Ukrainians have a neutral attitude toward Vietnam, according to a survey conducted by Active Group in collaboration with Experts Club in August 2025.
According to the study, 71.3% of respondents expressed a neutral attitude toward this country. Vietnam is viewed positively by 15.7% of Ukrainians (11.3% — mostly positively, 4.3% — completely positively). At the same time, negative assessments account for 9.0% (8.0% — mostly negatively, 1.0% — completely negatively). Another 4.3% of respondents said they did not have enough information about the country.
“These results can be explained by the relatively low level of contact between Ukrainian society and Vietnam, as well as the limited number of joint cultural or political initiatives. At the same time, neutrality can become the basis for the future development of partnership relations,” commented Alexander Pozniy, head of Active Group.
In turn, Maxim Urakin, co-founder of Experts Club, drew attention to the economic aspect:
“In the first half of 2025, the total trade volume between Ukraine and Vietnam amounted to more than $560 million. At the same time, Ukraine’s exports amounted to only $104 million, while imports exceeded $455 million, resulting in a significant negative balance of $351 million. These figures clearly show that the trade balance is currently very unfavorable for Ukraine, and the range of products between the countries needs to be improved,” the expert emphasized.
The study is part of a nationwide monitoring of citizens’ attitudes toward Ukraine’s key international partners.
