The aim of the article is to analyse and evaluate Poland’s attitude towards Ukraine’s aspirations to NATO membership. The main research problem is the question whether the authorities of sovereign Poland unambiguously supported the idea of Ukraine’s membership in NATO and whether they took measurable actions to implement it. The Polish authorities, regardless of political provenance, have invariably been in favour of NATO’s ‘open door’ policy since the end of the Cold War. They have supported the idea of including the post-Soviet republics, including Ukraine, in the Alliance. Ukraine’s entry into NATO is in Poland’s strategic interest, as it would almost cease to play the role of the Alliance’s flank state, which would significantly increase its security. The Polish authorities failed to convince NATO allies, mainly Western European countries, to include Ukraine in NATO, which was due to Russia’s strong opposition. However, new circumstances appeared with the Russian aggression against Ukraine in 2022. During the research, the method of content analysis of text sources was used.

Celem artykułu jest analiza i ocena postawy Stanów Zjednoczonych wobec aspiracji Ukrainy członkostwa w NATO po zimnej wojnie. Szczególna uwaga poświęcona została okresowi po wybuchu wojny w 2022 roku. Główny problem badawczy stanowią następujące pytania: Jaką rolę odgrywa Ukraina w geostrategicznej rywalizacji USA–Rosja po zimnej wojnie? Czy Stany Zjednoczone były zdeterminowane i konsekwentne w poparciu ukraińskich aspiracji członkostwa w NATO po zimnej wojnie? Czy wybuch wojny w Ukrainie w 2022 roku wpłynął na postawę USA wobec ukraińskich aspiracji członkostwa w NATO? Stany Zjednoczone popierały politykę „otwartych drzwi” NATO, w tym możliwość wstąpienia do Sojuszu państw postsowieckich, włącznie z Ukrainą. Czynniki międzynarodowe i sytuacja w Ukrainie powodowały jednak, że USA nie były zdeterminowane do finalizacji tego procesu, a podejście poszczególnych administracji amerykańskich wobec tej kwestii ulegało wahaniom. Wybuch wojny w Ukrainie w 2022 roku spowodował, że USA odłożyło kwestię ewentualnego członkostwa Ukrainy w NATO na okres powojenny. Podczas badań przeprowadzono wywiady z ekspertami i naukowcami z ośrodków badawczych z Waszyngtonu i Nowego Jorku. Skorzystano również z metody analizy źródeł tekstowych.

The aim of the article is to analyze and evaluate the attitude of the United States towards Ukraine’s aspirations for NATO membership after the Cold War. Particular attention was paid to the period after the outbreak of war in 2022. The main research problem is the following questions: What role does Ukraine play in the US-Russia geostrategic rivalry after the Cold War? Has the United States been determined and consistent in supporting Ukraine’s aspirations for NATO membership after the Cold War? Has the outbreak of war in Ukraine in 2022 affected the US attitude towards Ukraine’s aspirations for NATO membership? The United States supported NATO’s “open door” policy, including the possibility of joining the Alliance by post-Soviet states, including Ukraine. However, international factors and the situation in Ukraine meant that the US was not determined to finalize this process, and the approach of individual US administrations to this issue fluctuated. The outbreak of war in Ukraine in 2022 caused the US to postpone the issue of Ukraine’s possible membership in NATO for the post-war period. During the research, experts and scientists from research centers in Washington D.C. and New York were interviewed. The method of content analysis of text sources was also used.
