Abstract

Germany is Ukraine’s one of the nearest neighbors belonging to the European Union, and an important and reliable partner on the way to Europe. Ukraine to Germany is the cornerstone of European security architecture. There is a dense network of political, economic, cultural, and private links between the two countries. The Federal Republic is one of the most active partners of Ukraine, its geopolitical role is determined not only by a high and sustainable economic growth, and, above all, a stable financial position. German politicians allocate an important role to our country, taking into account its geo-economic potential and growing foreign policy role as one of the great powers of Europe. However, the relationships cannot be described as ideal and predictable.
