Militarisation of post-Soviet Ukraine as a Factor of the Modern International Crisis

Abstract

The article studies the militarisation of the foreign and domestic policy of post-Soviet Ukraine as the driving force of the crisis of modern international relations. The article substantiates the formation of the national-state model of Ukrainian militarism in the period 1991–2022. The ideological and political prerequisites of the genesis of Ukrainian militarism and its relationship with extremist ideological doctrines and teachings are analyzed in the article. The stages of militarisation of the Ukrainian state are considered, on the basis of which the conclusion is made about the formation of new challenges to political stability in Eastern Europe in the XXI century. The necessity of conceptual consolidation of ideas about the militarization of Ukraine’s policy in the doctrinal documents of ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation is argued.
