According to the popular view in the context of war, the state's ability as an actor of global relations to create essential configuration of abroad policy cooperation and building appropriate alliance relationships can in rule guarantee final triumph and become a deterrent to possible aggressors from further warfare.
Ukraine has signed many bilateral agreementsand gained a crucial alliance within the contact group. With the advancement of the war which began in 2014, partnerships and alliances developed, from those barely existing, through summertime to hot. The terms ‘help’, ‘support’, ‘partnership’ and ‘interaction’ can be utilized in various aspects, contexts and meanings.
In this situation, the function and support of the Euro-Atlantic community for Ukraine in the face of aggression besides has deeper, more existential meaningthan it seems at first glance. Russia's current war against Ukraine is inter-civilisational, it lasts over a decade, which goes beyond the average duration of modern wars.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine and the unity of the Ukrainian people are elements of resilience that inspired partners, allies and supporters. Motivation for their support has many dimensions. 1 of the reasons for helping Ukraine from the Euro-Atlantic community is, for example, the fight of the liberal-democratic part of the planet against the spread of authoritarianism, which is represented by the Russian Federation.
Analyzing the diversity and multiplicity of mutually beneficial aspects of cooperation, ties and contacts that have taken place between Ukraine and its allies, we can say with large probability that this format created a solid basis not only for the unilateral global support of Ukraine in resisting Russian aggression, but besides significantly influenced abroad policy strategies and the preservation of Ukrainian allies in global politics.
Although the mass offensive of Russian troops, which began on 24 February 2022, was met with much more condemnation by the global community than the annexation of Crimea and military intervention in Donbasa from 2014-2015, the first aid to Ukraine from the United States, large Britain, NATO and the EU was insufficient. The situation only began to change after the Ukrainian armed forces demonstrated their combat capabilitieswho managed to halt and displace Russian troops from Kiev.
The function of Ukraine will only grow
Given the nonsubjective current geopolitical situation, Ukraine has no alternate to European and Euro-Atlantic integration, and cooperation with the Euro-Atlantic community is simply a mutually beneficial process. It should be noted that among renowned Western experts and academics there is simply a lively debate on Ukraine's ability to wage a long-term existential war.
Ukraine has become an incentive to accelerate the formation of a fresh planet order, thus intensifying discourse in national and western technological and expert circles. In fresh years, this discourse has focused not only on the geostrategic place of Ukraine in the modern world, mainly due to the war of Russia, but besides on the prospects of integration of Ukraine into the future geopolitical space. For example, the Presidential Decree establishing the global Working Group on the Safety and Integration of Ukraine includes the terms ‘Euroatlantic Community’ and ‘Euroatlantic safety Area’.
Further improvement of continental and European safety systems will take account of the geopolitical changes presently underway. The function of Ukraine as the central defender of the east flank of Europe will only growand the EU will in turn become the centre of defence for NATO's European flank. The existential nature of Ukraine's conflict to preserve it besides requires a different position on all aspects of aid, support, interaction and cooperation that have already been established between Ukraine and the Euroatlantic community.

Although support for people displaced from Ukraine to the EU during the war is simply a strategical direction of preserving the gene pool of the Ukrainian people. Support for war veterans, their social adaptation, global volunteer humanitarian activity, the search and seizure of Russian assets worldwide for their subsequent transfer to Ukraine, the fight against Russian propaganda, global sanctions against Russia, etc. are unique forms of assistance and support provided to Ukraine by Euroatlantic partners during the war.
In conclusion, the Euro-Atlantic space is expanding to Ukraine from a necessity for the future of liberal-democratic order, even if any actors in this sphere are immune to it, such as Slovakia, Hungary and possibly Croatia, given the fresh election results. Their failure is both the profit of Ukraine and the Euroatlantic Community.
Ukrainian diversity, creativity and, most importantly, courage only add values to the community to which he aspires. In a sense, this is simply a wise investment that president Trump and his administration should consider. Ukraine is an ace up its sleeve, which in the future will guarantee the growth and expansion of the unchangeable safety and economical of the Euroatlantic Community.
