Abstract

Abstract The chapter on Ukraine, written amidst Russia’s full-scale war of aggression and territorial conquest waged against this country, seeks to provide elements for defining Ukraine’s place on the international law map of Europe. As references to history, or rather Russia’s own version of it, have been extensively relied on by Russia to deny Ukraine the right of sovereign existence, the chapter offers an overview of various stages of historical development of Ukraine’s international legal personality, from the beginnings of its statehood until the transformation of the atypical international legal personality of the Ukrainian SSR, a constituent part of the Soviet Union and simultaneously a founding member of the United Nations, into a fully sovereign State. It also highlights some of the key features of Ukraine’s international legal practice and broadly describes the development of the country’s own scholarship of the field.
