Abstract

Since the beginning of Ukraine's independence, namely on 24 August 1991, there has been a lively debate among social and legal theorists and practitioners alike as to the advisability of Ukraine joining NATO. However, this issue became particularly relevant after February 24 2022, when the Russian Federation launched a full-scale war against Ukraine, and of course, it remains on the agenda until now, as it concerns guarantees of national security and independence of the state. Based on this, the purpose of the study is to identify current problems, challenges, and prospects related to the process of Ukraine's accession to NATO. To achieve this goal, the method of analysis and synthesis, comparison, deduction, and historical methods were used in the study. As a result, it was found that Ukraine's accession to NATO is a priority for its future development and security. The paper managed to analyse the main Euro-Atlantic prospects for Ukraine, the most important of which at the moment is the protection of its territory by other member countries of the alliance. The analysed modern challenges allowed the authors to establish that in the conditions of the current Russian-Ukrainian war, the Ukrainian authorities implemented a number of measures aimed at developing the military-political industry, in particular, they abandoned the non-aligned position, approved the updated national security strategy of Ukraine, and most importantly approved the Euro-Atlantic direction of Ukraine's development in the Constitution of Ukraine. In conclusion, it was possible to reveal not only the priority of Ukraine's accession to NATO, but also to investigate the practical means and tools that are already being used to implement this process. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that its results can be used both by theorists for an in-depth investigation of this topic, and by practitioners, in particular by legislators, in the development of new laws and regulations related to the Euro-Atlantic process

乌克兰与北约:问题、挑战与前景

自从乌克兰开始独立以来，即1991年8月24日，社会和法律理论家和实践者就乌克兰加入北约是否可取进行了热烈的辩论。然而，这个问题在2022年2月24日之后变得尤为重要，当时俄罗斯联邦对乌克兰发动了全面战争，当然，直到现在，它仍然在议程上，因为它关系到国家安全和国家独立的保障。基于此，本研究的目的是识别当前乌克兰加入北约进程中存在的问题、挑战和前景。为达到这一目的，本研究采用了分析综合法、比较法、演绎法和历史法。结果，人们发现乌克兰加入北约是其未来发展和安全的优先事项。该文件设法分析了乌克兰在欧洲-大西洋的主要前景，其中最重要的是目前该联盟其他成员国对其领土的保护。分析的现代挑战使作者能够确定，在当前俄乌战争的条件下，乌克兰当局实施了一系列旨在发展军事政治工业的措施，特别是他们放弃了不结盟立场，批准了更新的乌克兰国家安全战略，最重要的是批准了乌克兰宪法中乌克兰发展的欧洲-大西洋方向。最后，不仅可以揭示乌克兰加入北约的优先事项，而且可以调查已经用于执行这一进程的实际手段和工具。这项研究的实际意义在于，其结果既可以被理论家用于深入研究这一主题，也可以被实践者，特别是立法者用于制定与欧洲-大西洋进程有关的新法律和法规
