Key aspects of Ukraine's interaction with European partners and its contribution to addressing contemporary security challenges and threats in the region are examined. With the strengthening of geopolitical and economic ties in the modern world, Ukraine's role in European security has become pivotal. In the context of integration into European structures and active participation in international initiatives, Ukraine influences the formation of a secure space on the continent.

Methods. The research is based on the analysis of diplomatic and political events, the assessment of the effectiveness of Ukraine's interaction with European countries, and the study of strategies and measures aimed at strengthening European security through Ukraine's involvement.

Results. The study reveals that Ukraine plays a crucial role in ensuring security in Europe through its active participation in international peacekeeping missions, the development of strategic partnerships with European countries, and the implementation of reforms to enhance the efficiency of its security systems.

Conclusions. Ukraine plays a key role in shaping and strengthening European security. Its efforts in collaborating with European partners and participating in international initiatives are significant factors for stability and security in the region, requiring further development and deepening of strategic partnerships.
