Ukrainians mostly neutral towards Algeria, but trade shows potential for development

23 September , 2025  

A survey conducted by Active Group and Experts Club in August 2025 showed that Ukrainians’ attitude towards Algeria remains neutral overall.

According to the results, 75% of respondents said they were neutral towards the country. Positive assessments accounted for only 11.7% (of which 9.3% were mostly positive and 2.3% were completely positive). At the same time, 6% had a negative attitude, and another 7.3% of respondents said they were not familiar with Algeria at all.

“For Ukrainians, Algeria remains a relatively distant country, which explains the high level of neutral assessments. At the same time, positive attitudes still prevail over negative ones, and this creates a basis for further cooperation,” commented Alexander Pozniy, head of Active Group.

In turn, Experts Club co-founder Maksim Urakin emphasized the importance of economic ties:

“Despite relatively weak emotional perceptions, Ukraine and Algeria have a noticeable level of trade interaction. In 2025, bilateral trade exceeded $401 million. At the same time, Ukrainian exports amounted to $338.9 million, while imports of Algerian goods amounted to only $62.4 million. As a result, the trade balance is significant and positive for Ukraine — over $276 million. This indicates that economic cooperation can become the basis for further development of relations,” he stressed.

Thus, although Ukrainians’ attitude toward Algeria is mostly neutral, the economic balance looks very favorable for Ukraine.
