More than 67% of Ukrainians have neutral attitude toward Tunisia, with positive views outnumbering negative ones — study

Ukrainians’ attitudes toward Tunisia in August 2026 remain predominantly neutral: 67.3% of respondents hold this view. 17.8% of those surveyed view the country positively, while 6.9% view it negatively, according to the Experts Club Information and Analytical Center.

According to the survey results, 4.5% of Ukrainians have a completely positive attitude toward Tunisia, while 13.3% have a mostly positive attitude. 67.3% chose a neutral response. 5.9% expressed a mostly negative attitude, 1% a completely negative one, and another 8% were undecided.

The balance between positive and negative assessments stands at plus 10.9 percentage points. Thus, positive attitudes outnumber negative ones by approximately 2.6 times. At the same time, three-quarters of respondents—including those who found it difficult to answer—do not express a clearly positive or negative assessment of the country.

Unlike most of the countries analyzed in previous reports, the study for March 2026 does not include a separate section on Tunisia; therefore, a direct comparison of the current results with those from the March survey based on this document is not possible. At the same time, the August data show that Tunisia’s public image in Ukraine remains largely neutral.

That said, Tunisia is of practical importance for Ukrainian exports. According to the results for the first half of 2026, Ukraine’s trade surplus with this country amounted to approximately $155.1 million. Tunisia was part of the group of markets in North Africa and the Middle East where Ukrainian exports exceeded imports.
