Ukrainian citizens consider Belarus and Russia as clear enemies, and almost all EU countries they consider to be friends. Yet, the results of the public opinion survey reveal differences towards Hungary and, to a lesser extent, Germany.

This is supported by the results of a representative survey of public opinion in Ukraine, published by the sociological group "Rating".

There is an absolute national consensus on Russia.  95% of citizens consider Russia "unequivocally hostile", another 3% - "rather hostile", another 1% chose the answers "neutral" and "difficult to answer". 52% and 32% of Ukrainians consider Belarus "unequivocally" and "rather" an enemy, respectively.

Among Ukraine's friends during the war, Poland confidently is on top - 79% considers it "unequivocally friendly", another 17% "rather friendly" (96% in total)

Among other Western allies, Ukrainians praise Lithuania, Great Britain, and the United States (85%, 86%, 88% see them as "friendly", 0%, 1%, and 2% consider "hostile," respectively).

All other EU and NATO countries surveyed also enjoy a significant positive attitude, but two EU countries stand out.

The biggest problems are in the attitude of Ukrainians towards Hungary. 12% consider Hungary a hostile state, 45% - friendly (including only 13% - "unequivocally friendly"). It is worth noting that Hungarians also have an ambiguous attitude towards Ukraine. As EuroPravda reported earlier, a quarter of voters in Hungary's ruling party blame Ukraine for the war.

The attitude of Ukrainians towards Germany is much better but still rather problematic. 6% consider Germany an enemy, 57% believe it is a friend, and 33% consider be neutral. Germany has reportedly considered providing additional weapons to Ukraine, but Chancellor Scholz called insults and attacks on Russians unacceptable.

Finally, Ukrainians have doubts about Georgia's friendship - only 54% believe it to be a friend, 6% consider it an enemy. Details on the origins of these problems - in the article "Not my war". How Georgian authorities did not want to support Ukraine during the Russian aggression (translated into English).

The poll was conducted on March 18 among the population of Ukraine aged 18 and older in all oblasts, except for the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea and Donbas, by telephone interview. Sample size - 1000 respondents.
