La The influence of the structure of the international system on the foreign policy of states
Ukraine's foreign security policy
Abstract
In the study of International Relations, the principle of sovereign equality of all States is transcendental, which is widely accepted by international society and is constantly promoted by the United Nations. However, over time, there have been several situations in which the exercise of sovereignty of certain countries is impaired due to the influence of foreign actors in their internal affairs. Based on this situation, and considering the Russian-Ukrainian war that has been taking place since February 2022, this research studies the case of Ukraine, specifically the development of its foreign policy in the field of security, in order to analyze whether the execution of it was influenced in any way, not by a particular State, but by the very structure of the international system.
