БЕЗПЕКОВІ ЧИННИКИ ЗОВНІШНЬОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ РОСІЙСЬКОЇ ВІЙСЬКОВОЇ АГРЕСІЇ

Abstract

In this general paper, conceptual issues concerning security factors in the formation of Ukraine's foreign policy are devoted. The basic factors of national security and their place in foreign policy of Ukraine are outlined. The documentary sources show the growth of the security factor in the legislative acts adopted after 2014 in the cause of Russian aggression against Ukraine. It is indicated that effective defending of national interests on the international arena was only possible if national security and defense issues were taken into account when formulating and implementing foreign policy. It is shown that in the sphere of national security, the key priority of Ukrainian foreign policy efforts is Ukraine's entry into the European economic and political space, as well as the system of collective security and integration into NATO. Attention is drawn to the fact that in today's conditions of aggression against Ukraine, the question of national security remains one of the key issues in shaping the international policy of our state. Taking geopolitical challenges and harmonizing the foreign policy of the state with the principles of national security both in the internal and regional and global dimensions allows not only to ensure the proper functioning of foreign policy, but also to provide conditions for transformation, implementation of various measures for the entry into the complex of the new architecture of the regional and global security. It is concluded that national security issues are an important part of state policy in the international arena, as evidenced by numerous laws and regulations that directly or indirectly relate to Ukraine's foreign policy and its interaction with the world.
