National Policy as an Element Shaping the Security of the Country – a Casus of Modern Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to broaden the analysis regarding the correlation between the national policy and the security of independent Ukraine. In the first part of the article the author treats about the national policy of Ukraine, notice that the current regulations on the rights of national and ethnic minorities in Ukrainian legislation, including those concerning the Russian minority are not extensive or detailed, which translates into stability of state security. In further research, points out that national policy should correspond with the security policy of Ukraine, be equipped with mechanisms that will eliminate inter-ethnic tensions and emphasize the territorial integrity of the state. The Crimean annexation and the conflict in Donbas show that the situation in Ukraine, in which the Russian minority is involved, requires constant monitoring of state authorities. In the final remarks, the author recommends that the Ukrainian authorities take multi-path actions on the line “national policy-security of the state”, oriented not only on normative regulations, but also on cultural activities to understand the cultural and identity differences of the Ukrainian and Russian populations. As a result, such practices are conducive to ensuring the stability of the internal security of the state and the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
