What this article is aiming at is to give a bird’s eye view of Ukrainian foreign policy. As Ukraine appeared as a sovreign and independent country on the map of Europe at very beginning of nineties of the past century, she has been remaining in practical terms for long a strange and unknown country to a wider European public opinion. As the bird’s eye view, say, an overview the article does not intend going much in details of historical rooting of foreign policy making of Ukraine. One the contrary, it sticks to the most current developments. It points out to the interplay of both the Ukrainian indigenous context and external environment e.i breaking up of the Soviet Union, emergence of contemporary Russia and eastwards extending of democratic space as well as the free market one. It is against this bakground that the article seeks to show how Ukraine’s foreign policy decision makers attempt to meet external challenges along with three main lines of Ukrainian foreign policy – the European (Euroatlantic), American and Russian ones which happened to be called in Ukrainian political usage “vectors”.
