Summary/Abstract: Europe faces a problem of territorial succession as it has not existed since the end of the Second World War. Crimean annexation to Russia, an act unrecognized by the international community, the struggles between the Ukrainian army and the pro-Russian groups in the East of the state are sensitive events that overlap the European electoral period. The toughest confrontation between socialists and populists is taking place in this context, and the deaf battle for power in Brussels makes the European community to be rather elusive and cautious in addressing the Ukrainian theme. In the present paper I will present the current political context, the organization of the elections, their importance in the light of the new attributions of the Parliament, as well as the elements of novelty and forecasts regarding the end of the electoral campaign.
