Countering myths

The decision to grant Ukraine the EU candidate status on the eve of the Ukrainian Constitution Day seems rather symbolic. In fact, a country that has demonstrated to the world its ability to defend the Motherland, was finally:

  • officially included in the club of European democratic states,
  • allowed to take a proactive position in the formation of renewed Europe.

Now, Ukraine must not only demonstrate its own political and military capability to defend itself (which was already proven), but also take a balanced position in the formation and strengthening of the socio-political and security dimension of the European community, and thereby influence European and world civilizational processes.
