Abstract

This article examines the features of implementing EU values in transitional democracies, with a focus on Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova.

The analysis highlights the role of political instability, corruption, judicial reforms, and cultural factors in shaping the implementation of EU values, as well as the importance of civil society and EU engagement in promoting democratic reform.

Overall, the article argues that successful implementation of EU values is crucial for the future of democracy and economic development in Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. And, that a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach is necessary to overcome the challenges that stand in the way. The Russian–Ukrainian war, which began in February 2022, has become a global challenge and a threat to the entire democratic concept of Europe. Today, it is clear that the military conflict in Ukraine is a fierce confrontation between democratic and traditional values. Accordingly, Ukraine’s victory will be a fundamental determinant in strengthening and developing European values in the region. That is why, realising this, the EU and most democratic countries are trying to support Ukraine in this struggle in every possible way.
