Abstract

The aspiration of Ukraine to integrate into the European Union and the acquisition of membership in the EU is one of the priority directions of state policy, forasmuch as ensuring the country’s full participation in the European and regional security system will create for Ukraine a reliable basis for its sustainable development and protection of national interests. The purpose of the research lies in substantiating the theoretical fundamentals and determining the practical recommendations regarding the diplomatic relations of Ukraine with the European Union in the field of security and in accordance with the candidacy. The general scientific and special research methods have been used in the academic paper, in particular, as follows: analysis, synthesis, scientific abstraction; analogies, comparison; statistical, graphic; generalization, systematization. The results of the research prove that Ukraine is capable of being an important partner of the European Union in the field of security, which confirms its ability to protect the eastern borders from the aggression of Russia, the problem of which has become extremely acute on the European continent. Diplomatic relations of Ukraine with the European Union in the field of security and in accordance with the application are focused on the problems of military resistance to armed aggression and the annexation of Ukrainian territories, as well as on the search for effective ways of resolving the conflict. It has been proven that the European Union provides significant support to Ukraine in the field of strengthening its defence capabilities and ensuring its functioning (the amount of planned financial assistance amounts to 10 885 million US dollars). The necessity of forming a joint security and defence policy with the European Union on the basis of partnership and mutual guarantee of compliance with the principles of ensuring and maintaining security and peace has been revealed.
