ВІЙСЬКОВО-ПОЛІТИЧНЕ СПІВРОБІТНИЦТВО УКРАЇНИ З ПІВНІЧНОАТЛАНТИЧНИМ АЛЬЯНСОМ НА СУЧАСНОМУ ЕТАПІ

The basic aspects of military-political cooperation between Poland and the Baltic states with Ukraine are analyzed at the present historical stage. It is emphasized that the unexpected attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine at the end of February 2014, the annexation of the Crimea, and then the seizure of the territories of the eastern regions of the Donbass have become a powerful impetus for the military-political cooperation of the Baltic region states against the threat of the Kremlin aggression spreading across Eastern Europe military-political bloc. It is noted that the movement of Ukraine to the EU and NATO is important for the formation of a new system of international relations, which should replace the broken aggression of the Russian Federation in 2014, the existing system of world security. It is concluded that it is important for Ukraine to study the experience of Poland and the three former Baltic republics in integrating with the European institutions and the North Atlantic Alliance. Today, the guaranteeing of collective security has again become an urgent task of the military-political bloc of the participating States. In particular, the Alliance's member states, which were previously part of the so-called "socialist camp," were active in restoring this concept. Eastern European countries are ready to deploy US military bases on their territory, which will greatly enhance security in the region.  It is concluded that Ukraine's movement to the EU and NATO is of great importance for the formation of a new system of international relations. It is important for Ukraine to study the experience of European integration of the former Warsaw Pact countries, which, after decommunization, have declared their intention to develop close cooperation with the European institutions.
