[[File:Diplomatic relations of Ukraine.svg|upright=1.4|thumb|Countries with which Ukraine (marked with red) has diplomatic relations.]]
[[Ukraine]] has formal relations with many nations and in recent decades has been establishing diplomatic relations with an expanding circle of nations. The '''foreign relations of Ukraine''' are guided by a number of key priorities outlined in the [[foreign policy of Ukraine]].

==Western relations==
[[Ukraine]] considers Euro-Atlantic integration its primary foreign policy objective, but in practice balances its relationship with Europe and the United States while attempting to sever its considerable ties to Russia. The [[European Union]]'s Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) with Ukraine went into force on March 1, 1998. The European Union (EU) has encouraged Ukraine to implement the PCA fully before discussions begin on an association agreement. The EU Common Strategy toward Ukraine, issued at the EU Summit in December 1999 in [[Helsinki]], recognizes Ukraine's long-term aspirations but does not discuss association.<ref name=":3">[http://www.kyivpost.com/news/nation/detail/67901/ Ukraine makes it official: Nation will abandon plans to join NATO], [[Kyiv Post]] (May 28, 2010)</ref>

On January 31, 1992, Ukraine joined the then-Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (now the [[Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe]]—OSCE), and on March 10, 1992, it became a member of the [[North Atlantic Cooperation Council]]. Ukraine also has a close relationship with [[NATO]] and has declared interest in eventual membership. It is the most active member of the [[Partnership for Peace]] (PfP). Former President [[Viktor Yushchenko]] indicated that he supports Ukraine joining the EU in the future. Plans for Ukrainian membership to NATO were shelved by Ukraine following the [[2010 Ukrainian presidential election]] in which [[Viktor Yanukovych]] was elected [[Ukrainian President|President]].<ref name=":3" />

Yanukovych opted to keep Ukraine a non-aligned state.<ref name="glo">[http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/ukraine/2010/ukraine-100213-rianovosti02.htm Yanukovych opens door to Russian navy keeping base in Ukraine] GlobalSecurity.org Retrieved on March 9, 2010</ref> This materialized on June 3, 2010 when the [[Verkhovna Rada|Ukrainian parliament]] (Verkhovna Rada) excluded, with 226 votes, the goal of "integration into Euro-Atlantic security and NATO membership" from the country's national security strategy giving the country a non-aligned status.<ref name="result of Russia">[http://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/241388.html Ukraine has no alternative to Euro-Atlantic integration – Ukraine has no alternative to Euro-Atlantic integration – Poroshenko], [[Interfax-Ukraine]] (23 December 2014)<br />[http://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/241359.html Ukraine abolishes its non-aligned status – law], [[Interfax-Ukraine]] (23 December 2014)<br />[http://www.euronews.com/2014/12/23/ukraine-s-complicated-path-to-nato-membership/ Ukraine's complicated path to NATO membership], [[Euronews]] (23 December 2014)<br />[https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/24/world/europe/ukraine-parliament-nato-vote.html?_r=1 Ukraine Takes Step Toward Joining NATO], ''[[The New York Times]]'' (23 December 2014)<br />[https://www.wsj.com/articles/ukraine-ends-nonaligned-status-earning-quick-rebuke-from-russia-1419339226 Ukraine Ends ‘Nonaligned’ Status, Earning Quick Rebuke From Russia], [[The Wall Street journal]] (23 December 2014)</ref><ref name=radanonato>[http://euobserver.com/24/30212 Ukraine drops NATO membership bid], [[EUobserver]] (June 6, 2010)</ref> "[[Ukraine and the European Union|European integration]]" has remained part of Ukraine's national security strategy and co-operation with NATO was not excluded.<ref name=radanonato/>

==Relations with CIS states==
Ukraine's relations with Russia had been complicated by energy dependence and by payment arrears. However, relations improved with the 1998 ratification of the bilateral Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation. The two sides have signed a series of agreements on the final division and disposition of the former [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[Black Sea Fleet]] that helped to reduce tensions. However, Ukraine cut diplomatic relations with Russia as a response to the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russian invasion of Ukraine]].<ref name=":1">{{cite news |date=24 February 2022 |title=Україна розірвала дипломатичні відносини з Росією |language=uk |url=https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2022/02/24/7325342/ |access-date=24 February 2022}}</ref>

Ukraine became a (non-official) member of the [[Commonwealth of Independent States]] (CIS) on December 8, 1991. In January 1993 it refused to endorse a draft charter strengthening political, economic, and defense ties among CIS members, and completely ceased to participate as a member in March 2014. Ukraine was a founding member of [[GUAM]] ([[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]-[[Ukraine]]-[[Azerbaijan]]-[[Moldova]]).

In 1999–2001, Ukraine served as a non-permanent member of the [[UN Security Council]]. Soviet Ukraine joined the United Nations in 1945 as one of the original members following a Western compromise with the Soviet Union, which had asked for seats for all 15 of its union republics. Ukraine has consistently supported peaceful, negotiated settlements to disputes. It has participated in the quadripartite talks on the conflict in Moldova and promoted a peaceful resolution to conflict in the post-Soviet state of Georgia.

[[Leonid Derkach]] (chairman of the SBU, which is Ukraine's security service, successor to the KGB) was fired due to Western pressure after he organized the sale of radar systems to Iraq while such sales were embargoed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ukrweekly.com/old/archive/2002/290209.shtml|title=Ukraine and Iraq refute newspaper's allegations of illegal weapons deals (07/21/02)|website=www.ukrweekly.com|access-date=2017-02-18|archive-date=2008-07-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080724140505/http://www.ukrweekly.com/old/archive/2002/290209.shtml|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==International disputes==

===Belarus===
{{Further|Belarus–Ukraine relations}}

The 1997 boundary treaty with Belarus remains un-ratified due to unresolved financial claims, stalling demarcation and reducing border security.

===Russia===
{{Further|Russia–Ukraine relations}}

Delimitation of the land boundary with Russia is incomplete, but the parties have agreed to defer demarcation. The [[maritime boundary]] through the [[Sea of Azov]] and the [[Kerch Strait]] remains unresolved despite a December 2003 framework agreement and ongoing expert-level discussions. [[Prime Minister of Russia|Prime Minister]] [[Vladimir Putin]] allegedly declared at a [[NATO]]-Russia summit in 2008 that if [[Ukraine–NATO relations|Ukraine would join NATO]] his country can contend to annex the [[Eastern Ukraine|Ukrainian East]] and [[Crimea]]. As of April 2024, Russia has annexed the Crimean peninsula and partly four other regions of Ukraine: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.<ref name="The Empirical complex of Russians">{{in lang|uk}} [http://www3.pravda.com.ua/news/2008/7/3/78290.htm The Imperial complex of Russians] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202023256/http://www3.pravda.com.ua/news/2008/7/3/78290.htm |date=2008-12-02 }}, [[Ukrainska Pravda]] (July 3, 2008)</ref>

Starting in November 2013, the decision by Ukrainian President [[Viktor Yanukovych]] to back out of signing an integration agreement with the [[European Union]] started a [[Revolution of Dignity|period of civil unrest]] between [[Euromaidan|Ukrainians who favored integration with the European Union]] and [[Anti-Maidan|those who wanted closer ties with Russia]]. This culminated in the [[Revolution of Dignity]]. Russia took advantage of this political instability to [[Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|annex Crimea]] in March 2014, though [[Political status of Crimea|Ukraine still claims sovereignty over the territory by any kind of international law]].  [[Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014-present)|Russia has also allegedly supported quasi-separatist forces]] in the [[War in Donbas (2014–2022)|war in Donbas]].  In December 2015 Russian hackers reportedly [[2015 Ukraine power grid hack|hacked Ukraine's power grids]] leading to a blackout and widespread terror.

On 24 February 2022, diplomatic relations were cut with Russia as a response to the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]].<ref name=":1"/>

===Moldova===
{{Further|Moldova–Ukraine relations}}

[[Moldova]] and Ukraine have established joint customs posts to monitor transit through Moldova's break-away [[Transnistria]] Region which remains under [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe|OSCE]] supervision.

===Romania===
{{Further|Romania–Ukraine relations}}

Ukraine and [[Romania]] have [[Maritime delimitation between Romania and Ukraine|settled their dispute]] over the Ukrainian-administered [[Snake Island (Black Sea)|Zmiyinyy (Snake) Island]] and the Black Sea maritime boundary at the [[International Court of Justice]].

Since their independence from the Soviet Union, both countries consider each other as strategic partners and have forged close political and cultural relations. During the [[Edward Shevardnadze|Shevardnadze]] era, the Georgian government maintained its close relations with Ukraine. In April 1993, Georgia and Ukraine signed 20 documents, including a treaty on friendship and cooperation.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ukraine and Georgia form common front against Russia|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1993/04/13/Ukraine-and-Georgia-form-common-front-against-Russia/1653734673600/|publisher=UPI|date=13 April 1993}}</ref> However, the relationship has further enhanced after [[Rose Revolution]] in Georgia and [[Orange Revolution]] in Ukraine. During the Orange Revolutions, many Georgians rallied in [[Kyiv]] in support of Viktor Yushchenko. Both countries maintain pro-western political orientation and aspire to join [[NATO]] and the [[European Union]].

The close friendship between Presidents [[Mikheil Saakashvili]] and [[Viktor Yushchenko]] has also played an important role in recent political and cultural unity of the two countries. However, the cultural and political unity between two nations existed long ago. There are many cultural events in both courtiers, celebrating close relations between Georgian and Ukrainian people. In 2007, Georgians unveiled a statue to [[Taras Shevchenko]] in Tbilisi while Ukrainians erected the statue of Georgia's epic poet [[Shota Rustaveli]] in Kyiv.

Established relations in February 14, 1992 Russia formerly had an [[Embassy of Russia in Kyiv|embassy]] in [[Kyiv]] and [[consulate]]s in [[Kharkiv]], [[Lviv]], [[Odesa]] and [[Simferopol]]. Ukraine had an [[Embassy of Ukraine in Moscow|embassy]] in Moscow and [[consulate]]s in [[Rostov-on-Don]], [[Saint Petersburg]], [[Tyumen]] and [[Vladivostok]]. Relations between the two country's governments have been unfriendly since the presidency of [[Leonid Kuchma]] expired. Russian Prime Minister [[Vladimir Putin]] allegedly declared at a [[NATO]]–Russia summit in 2008 that [[Ukraine–NATO relations|if Ukraine would join NATO]] his country could contend to annex the [[East Ukraine|Ukrainian East]] and [[Crimea]].<ref name="The Empirical complex of Russians" /> Some analysts believe that the current Russian leadership is determined to prevent a Russian equivalent of the Ukrainian [[Orange Revolution]] in Russia. This mindset is supposed to explain not only Russian domestic policy but its sensitivity over events abroad as well.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7274687.stm "Russia: World watching for any change"], ''[[BBC News]]'' (March 3, 2008)</ref>

Many in Ukraine and beyond believe that [[Energy policy of Russia|Russia has periodically used its vast energy resources]] to bully its smaller, dependent neighbour, but the [[Russian Government]] argues instead that it is internal squabbling amongst [[Politics of Ukraine|Ukraine's political]] elite that is to blame for the deadlock.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7817536.stm "The rifts behind Europe's gas row"], ''[[BBC News]]'' (January 8, 2009)</ref> Later, Putin stated that the government of the Russian Federation respects the sovereignty of Ukraine, while several Russian parliamentarians as well some governors were urging the liquidation of Ukraine.

Starting in November 2013, the decision by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to back out of signing an integration agreement with the [[European Union]] started a period of civil unrest between [[Euromaidan|Ukrainians who favored integration with the European Union]] and [[Anti-Maidan|those who wanted closer ties with Russia]], culminating in the [[Revolution of Dignity]]. Russia took advantage of this political instability to [[Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|annex Crimea]] in March 2014, though [[Political status of Crimea|Ukraine still claims sovereignty over the territory]]. [[Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014-present)|Russia has also allegedly supported separatist forces]] in the [[War in Donbas (2014–2022)|war in Donbas]]. In December 2015, Russian hackers reportedly [[2015 Ukraine power grid hack|hacked Ukraine's power grids]] leading to a blackout and widespread terror.
