In terms of total trade volume, Ukraine cooperates most with China, Poland, and Germany. These countries form the basis of the state’s foreign economic relations, providing a critical impact on imports and exports.

China remains the leader with a total trade volume of $8.99 billion. Poland ranks second with $6.04 billion, while Germany and Turkey are almost equal with $4.28 billion and $4.25 billion, respectively. The United States ranks fifth with $2.86 billion.

The top 10 also includes Italy ($2.38 billion), the Czech Republic ($1.64 billion), Bulgaria ($1.54 billion), Hungary ($1.53 billion), and Romania ($1.50 billion).

“The top ten partners form the basis of Ukraine’s foreign trade balance. China and the EU countries provide the largest volumes of trade, but at the same time, it is worth considering the significant negative balance in relations with these countries,” said Maksim Urakin, founder of Experts Club and economist.

He added that although the large volume of trade indicates Ukraine’s integration into global supply chains, dependence on imports from China and Europe creates strategic risks.

“Poland and Germany are key hubs for Ukrainian exports, but at the same time they are significant sources of imports. Therefore, it is critically important to balance trade flows, preserving positive sectors such as agriculture and metallurgy, and reducing dependence on critical imports,” Urakin noted.
