The End of Year Survey (EoY) is an annual global survey by Gallup International which studies opinions of people in different countries. It includes the topics of the future, happiness, and economic expectations. In 2024, 35 882 respondents were surveyed in 35 countries.

This is the second time the Rating Group conducted the EoY survey in Ukraine. In December 2024, we asked 1000 Ukrainians about their views on the international role of the US.

Will the US be a superpower in 2030?

   
• The majority of Ukrainians (66%) believe that the US will be a superpower as of 2030. Slightly less than a quarter of respondents disagree. 
   
• Young people aged 18-24 (72%) are more confident in the US’s future as a superpower. People with high income also lean to this point of view (70%).
   
• Ukrainians are more confident that the US will be a superpower than the respondents in the 35 countries on average. At the same time, the opinions of Ukrainians align with those of the American respondents. 

The US’s foreign influence

   
• 51% of Ukrainians have a positive opinion on American foreign policy concerning Ukraine whereas 26% gave a negative response. Another 12% believe it has no effect and 11% could not answer.
   
• Ukrainians are more likely to speak of the positive effects of American foreign policy than the respondents from the 35 countries on average. In fact, Ukraine ranks in the top-5 countries with the most positive opinion on the US’s influence (after Kosovo, India, the Philippines, and Columbia). 
   
• The most criticism towards the US’s foreign influence on their country comes from people in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran. Pakistan, Serbia, and Kazakhstan are also countries where the majority are skeptics or critics of the US’s foreign policy.
