Relationship assessment

Bilateral ties include a significant, though specialized, record of defense procurement and supply

Thailand toward Ukraine

+35

Thailand purchased Ukrainian-made armored vehicles, including Oplot tanks under a 2011 contract, establishing a concrete defense-procurement relationship with Ukraine.

Ukraine toward Thailand

+35

Ukraine supplied armored vehicles to Thailand under defense-procurement contracts, including the Oplot tank contract agreed in 2011.

Overall relationship

+30

The relationship has included substantive defense-industry transactions, with Thailand as a customer for Ukrainian military equipment and Ukraine as a supplier. This supports a cooperative bilateral structure, but the available range of concrete arrangements is too narrow to characterize the relationship as a broad or especially close partnership.

How to read these scores

0
Mixed or neutral, supported by knowledge
+50
Substantially cooperative
+100
Exceptionally close sustained partnership

“Not assessed” means there is no recorded score. Pair existence makes no claim about diplomatic recognition or established relations.
