Abstract

The aim of the article was to identify the current status and problems of Ukraine’s regional associations, and discuss them in the context of supranational challenges and the COVID-19 pandemic. Observation, the comparative method and the neo-institutional approach were the main methodological tools involved. The investigation found that Ukraine intends to establish various coalitions, blocs and alliances to develop the foreign policy vector. Countries that thrive to be regional actors, as well as NATO and EU Member States, engage in this type of cooperation. A gradual intensification of the growth of the country’s regional leadership was revealed through a comparative study of Ukraine’s cooperation with different countries and their partnerships. The authors of the research supported the point of view of adherents to the concept that Ukraine is interested in the political discourse of regional leadership.It is concluded that expanding the country’s political and economic opportunities is an appropriate context for reforming the Western vectors of Ukraine’s foreign policy. It demonstrated the great potential of regional partnerships, of which Ukraine is a member, to improve democracy.
