Summary/Abstract: European Union (EU) is a regional player that aims to strengthen its global status by becoming involved more actively and effectively in maintaining peace and stability in the world. In the EU's vision, the methods of conflicts solutions are peaceful, the organization choosing to respond to violence through mediation and dialogue and not through military force. Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the EU sent its representatives to assist it in the difficult times that it has been experiencing. As the crisis evolved, the EU has made use of various instruments in an attempt to solve the crisis:restrictive, diplomatic, economic measures merged with mediating and facilitating dialogue. Currently, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, has continued the efforts of the Baroness Catherine Ashton in this regard.
