Summary/Abstract: Ukraine, being the geopolitical pivot of Eurasia, is a particularly important actor in the international system, and in particular in regional security. The analysis of available data and media reports indicates that since gaining sovereignty, Ukraine has been influenced by oligarchs and agents of influence pursuing the goals of the Russian Federation who have penetrated and operate in Ukraine, both in security and defense structures. Ukraine's defense sector has been at the center of numerous corruption scandals in recent years. Procurement in the defense sector, which is a key element of building the defense system, is a particularly vulnerable area to corruption.
