Abstract

The article discusses the key factors that influenced the development of relations between Ukraine and the Visegrad group, which traditionally supported Kiev in rapprochement with European and Euro-Atlantic structures in the period from 2014 to 2018. Since the beginning of the post-Soviet period, Kiev considered the States of Central and Eastern Europe, especially the members of the Visegrad group formed in 1991, to be important political and economic allies in the European Union. Since the early 1990s, Ukraine has tried to rely on the States of Central and Eastern Europe, hoping for their support in European integration aspirations. For their part, Kiev's Western partners, who joined the European Union in 2004, showed interest in developing economic ties with Ukraine to expand the market for their own goods and purchase raw materials. Events in the Ukraine in late 2013-early 2014, known to experts as Euromaidan and led to a coup and the removal from power of the team of President Viktor Yanukovych, became a prologue of radical changes in the foreign policy of Kiev. In 2014, a heterogeneous group of politicians came to power in Ukraine, most of whom were United by a focus on European integration and the Euro-Atlantic vector of the country's foreign policy. From the very beginning, the Ukrainian crisis was the focus of attention of the Visegrad group members themselves, who took a position in support of the "European choice" of Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to the issues of economic cooperation, the influence of the Russian factor on the relations between Ukraine and the Visegrad countries, in particular, the problems in the field of energy, migration, historical and educational policy.
