Strategic course of Ukraine for european integration: achievements and unsolved problems

Abstract

The sources, state and prospects of the strategic course chosen by Ukraine for integration into the European Union are considered. The analysis of disintegration processes associated with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rupture of traditional economic relations of Ukraine with the CIS countries and the EAEU is presented. The results of the implementation of the economic part of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU are evaluated. Attention is drawn to the need to further deepen trade relations with the EU, simplify customs procedures, strengthen environmental measures, digitalize the economy and introduce an “industrial visa-free regime”. In the foreign economic policy of the state, it is recommended to draw lessons from Brexit with an orientation on the use of the principle of cyclicality in the development of socio-economic systems.
