• Abstract

    The Russian war against Ukraine has multi-component and multifaceted consequences. The armed intervention of Russia accelerated the process of Ukraine’s European integration and promoted pro-European solidarity in the country. The war has led to a massive reorientation of Ukrainian society toward the Western direction of development and strengthened the idea that the movement toward the European Union is inevitable and irreversible. At the same time, Kyiv and Brussels strengthened their solidarity with the aggressor country. The decision to nominate Ukraine as a candidate for membership in the European Union is a sign of the EU member states’ push for Ukraine as Europe’s only response to Russia’s neo-imperialist policy of aggression. The decision is of a political and security nature, as Ukraine protects the European Union from the Kremlin’s continental expansion, and in fact, the political system and the future of the European Union are currently in the hands of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This is the main importance of Ukraine’s European integration into the European Union, а також the main difference from other candidate countries – Moldova, Georgia and the Balkans. Unfortunately, Russia’s expansion has clearly had a negative impact on Ukraine’s European integration. Ukraine has suffered enormous human, economic and financial losses. The war started by the Putin regime is one of the deadliest wars in Europe since World War II. The relevance of this topic lies in the fact that the process of globalization, integration and polarization in its current form has many misunderstandings and contradictions that have become a source of tense discussion in academic and business circles, as well as in international forums. Different opinions, sometimes directly opposite, are often confronted, evaluated, and assumptions are developed.
