Abstract
The region of Central and Eastern Europe has become a significant conflict factor between the Russian Federation and the Euro-Atlantic community. A qualitatively new stage in this confrontation started after the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis in 2014. Although building up a security counterbalance to Russia in CEE, as well as drawing the adjoining post-Soviet states into the Western orbit, enjoys bipartisan support in the United States, each of the American administrations has its own priorities and accents in this point. The article analyzes what was characteristic of the U.S. policies in relation to Eastern Europe in the final years of the Barack Obama presidency, in the period of the Donald Trump administration, and in the initial months of Joe Biden’s presidency. Solidarity within the American political class in its perception of the Russian challenge to Europe, by no means, excludes differences in approaches between various interest groups within the United States. Particularly noticeable is the contrast between the Trump and the Biden administrations. The Democratic administration attaches greater importance to common liberal values. The article pays special attention to the U.S. relations with multilateral forums in this region (NATO, the Visegrad Group, the Bucharest Nine, the Three Seas Initiative).
