Canada continues to enjoy a very high level of positive perception among Ukrainians: in August 2026, 76.3% of respondents viewed the country positively, 19.2% neutrally, while negative assessments, based on the indicators listed in the table, totaled only 2.6%, according to the Experts Club Information and Analytical Center. In the survey’s published overall ranking, the net sentiment toward Canada stands at +73.8 percentage points.
According to the results of the August survey, 37.4% of Ukrainians have a completely positive attitude toward Canada, and 38.9% have a mostly positive attitude. 19.2% of respondents hold a neutral position. 2.2% view the country mostly negatively, 0.4% completely negatively, and another 2% were undecided.
Not only is the high total share of positive responses significant, but so is their breakdown: more than a third of respondents chose the most positive category—“entirely positive.” Based on the rounded figures in the table above, positive assessments outnumber negative ones by nearly 30 to 1.
In March 2026, the results were nearly identical. According to the published data from the previous survey wave, 76.2% of respondents viewed Canada positively: 39.4% viewed it “completely positively” and 36.8% viewed it “mostly positively.” 20.3% of respondents held a neutral position, 2.3% held a negative one, and another 1.2% were undecided.
Thus, over the course of five months, the overall share of positive assessments remained virtually unchanged—76.2% in March and 76.3% in August. At the same time, the share of “completely positive” responses decreased by 2 percentage points, while the share of “mostly positive” responses increased by 2.1 percentage points. The neutral segment shrank by 1.1 percentage points.
Oleksandr Pozniy, director of the research firm Active Group, commenting on the results of the previous wave, emphasized precisely the stability of this perception.
“Canada is among those countries toward which Ukrainians have formed not just a positive, but a consistently positive attitude. This is the result of long-term interaction, support, and a presence in the Ukrainian information space. In such cases, even neutral responses do not blur the overall picture but only underscore its consistency,” Pozniy noted.
The August wave confirms this stability: the total positive sentiment remained virtually at the March level, while the neutral group shrank slightly. According to the August 2026 general survey, Canada had the highest positive balance among the countries covered by the poll.
