GUAM: UKRAINE’S STRATEGIC PROJECT

  • Liudmyla 2- CHEKALENKO Diplomatic Academy of Ukraine under the MFA of Ukraine

Abstract

The article deals with the Ukraine’s foreign policy strategy in terms of cooperation with the GUAM member countries (with Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Moldova). The author gives brief historic flashback to 1997, when GUAM had been founded, and explains the reasons why Ukraine pledged for cooperation with neighboring countries, which pursue the European and Euro-Atlantic integration as major foreign policy direction. The article also suggests main common grounds of the GUAM countries such as oil and gas transportation to Europe, „frozen” conflicts, and opposition to strong Russian influence.
