Poland supported Ukraine in its quest for the then EU and NATO, and monitor events and the course of the presidential elections in Ukraine in January 2010, has the side closer institutional cooperation of the EU with Ukraine. According to political scientists, Ukraine also had a chance to become one of the leaders of the Eastern Partnership in the former Soviet space and thus strengthen its role as a regional leader under the auspices of the EU. But the only possible way for Ukraine to acquire membership in the EU would be reforming social life as a result of the cooperation within the Eastern Partnership.
