THE EUROPEAN UNION AND UKRAINE: PROSPECTS AND PROBLEMS OF ADAPTATION

Abstract

The article analyzes the relations between Ukraine and the EU. Ukraine has long been seen as an important political partner of the European Union. The EU is striving for ever closer relations with Ukraine, going beyond mere cooperation, gradual economic integration and deepening political cooperation. The main events that link Ukraine and the European Union are analyzed. The article tells how the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement has changed the vision of the society about the association, and reveals the details of the EU Eastern Program. In parallel with the prospects for EU-Ukraine relations, Ukraine's accession to the EU is analyzed in detail. The author provides information on the current situation and analyses prospects for future. Ukraine has framed significant legislative reforms, aimed at combating corruption, and founded new specialized anti-corruption institutions. Work on the implementation of anti-corruption technologies is still in a process. Some of the new Ukrainian agencies are already actively involved in the fight against corruption. The development of Western European regional integration continues, requiring analysis and synthesis of new phenomena. Even a thorough analysis of the political dimension of this process, an attempt been made in the study, can not give exhaustive answer to many urgent issues. Since discussions about the ultimate goals of integration, in particular forms of its implementation, the breadth of geopolitical coverage are not yet complete.
