Security Culture as a Component of Security Policy: The Experience of the European Union
The article examines the security culture, the relevance of which is due to dynamic changes, new challenges and threats to security and the growing demand of society for the protection of rights and freedoms. It is noted that the conceptual approaches to understanding the issue of security culture development give special scientific importance to the study of European experience for political science. The article examines the basic principles, values and norms that form the security culture in Europe. The introduction of new organisational and legal approaches to ensure security and the development of legal policy in the context of modern challenges has become a priority of the European security culture. Special attention is paid to the role of instruments and mechanisms for the formation and implementation of security policy on the European continent. The factors that influence the formation of security culture, such as the political situation, socio-cultural and historical factors, are also explored. The security culture plays a special role in organising the effective functioning of the social institutions, strengthening trust in the political and legal system. The focus is on analysing the impact of the legal factor on the formation of security culture in various fields of activity. The expected results include the identification of the main principles and approaches to building a security culture in the EU countries, as well as the identification of areas that need to be updated, refined, and new approaches introduced, etc. The conclusions will serve as a basis for using the European experience of strengthening security culture in the European political and legal environment and identifying ways for its further development. The results of the study contribute to an understanding of the current state of security culture in Europe and outline recommendations for the formation of both security policy and security culture in Ukraine.

Integration Processes as a Factor of Modern Economic Policy: the Experience of the Baltic Countries
The article analyses the peculiarities of the integration processes of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia into the European Union, as well as the possibility of using their experience in the European integration processes of Ukraine, which are particularly relevant today in the context of the military aggression of the Russian Federation. The impact of the European Union's eastward enlargement after the collapse of the Soviet Union on the economic and migration policies of the Baltic states is studied, and the capacity of economic institutions to overcome the consequences of financial and economic crises is assessed. The article highlights the challenges of statehood in the process of post-communist transformation of the Baltic states in the early twentieth century, and examines current trends and prospects of economic cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union using modern methods of assessment. The dynamic European integration path of Ukraine has actualised the search for an optimal "non-classical" model of accession to the European Union within a reasonable time frame. It is shown that the model of phased accession is the most holistically coherent and logically structured concept that can ensure predictable progress on the path to EU membership. It has been proven on the example of the Baltic States that membership in the European Union stimulates modernization and economic development, which, in turn, leads to an improvement in the standard of living of society. The twenty-year membership of the Baltic States in the European Union is evidence of successful transformation processes, which in turn will allow Ukraine to take into account current economic challenges in the context of developing its economic policy in the context of Russian military aggression.

The Possibilities of Influence of the Ukrainian Diaspora on Public Opinion During the War
The material presented in this article is focused on international relations, public diplomacy and the activities of the Ukrainian diaspora in the conditions of Ukraine's war with Russia. The main purpose of this study is to analyse the nature and possibilities of the influence of the Ukrainian diaspora on the public opinion of the host countries during military operations, in the context of public diplomacy. The author emphasizes that, in order to achieve the main goals in the realization of their national interests, modern tools of public diplomacy are available to countries, which help: firstly, to overcome negative images of their past, secondly, to spread their values and model and, thirdly, widely communicate their comparative economic and trade advantages for foreign investment. In the conditions of Russian aggression against Ukraine, the fourth and most important is the need to rally Ukrainians abroad to ensure proper influence on the public of their countries in order to ensure the provision of political, military, humanitarian and other assistance to Ukraine in order to counter the said aggression. The author examines the concept of public diplomacy, the essence of its forms, some features of cooperation with the diaspora. Special attention was paid to the role of the diaspora in promoting a positive image of Ukraine as a state in the conditions of military operations. The Ukrainian diaspora has shown that it can really influence public opinion in almost all countries of the world. There are many scientists, businessmen, lawyers and marketers in the Ukrainian community who could help formulate strong arguments as to why Ukraine deserves the support of the West. Ukrainian diplomacy should have these arguments at hand, and the diaspora should not just implement them, but clearly establish them in the public consciousness of the host countries. This is not a simple goal, for its implementation, in the opinion of the author, first of all, a clear understanding of what the diaspora is in the modern world, how it cooperates within the framework of the public diplomacy system of Ukraine, what tools and methods of influencing the public opinion of the host country are necessary for it available and how to evaluate such activity.

Ukrainian Athletes' Behavioral Responses In Encounters With Russian And Belarusian Competitors During Sports Events
The full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine interfered in all aspects of public life, including the sports sphere, so studying the behavior of Ukrainian athletes during sports competitions with Russians and Belarusians seemed difficult in the context of analysis. Topicality. Despite a significant number of scientific publications on the topic of sports in general, sports and manipulation in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, sports as a category of political influence, there is still a scientific gap in the study of aspects of the behavior of an athlete representing a certain country on the world sports arena. Purpose: to describe the key behavioral aspects of Ukrainian athletes during a meeting with Russians and Belarusians at sports competitions. Task: to analyze the behavior of the specified subjects in the sports arena; highlight the main forms of relationship between politics and sports in the matrix of communication. On the basis of the analyzed 22 publications of open data in the media, it was possible to draw a conclusion about the behavioral aspects of Ukrainian athletes during sports competitions with Russians and Belarusians, which can be different and determined by individual and situational factors, and which are influenced by the complex interaction of national identity, emotions, sportsmanship, media attention and security considerations.

Budapest Guarantees as a Factor in the Crisis of International Collective Security
The article is dedicated to studying the issue of the violations of guarantees given to Ukraine enshrined in the Budapest Memorandum as part of the international collective security architecture, considering the context of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of nuclear weapons (NPT). The author also aims to analyze the consequences of the violation of the Budapest guarantees for international collective security. The conducted research allows the author to conclude that the guarantees given to Ukraine in exchange for its non-nuclear status were provided within the international legal framework, as noted by H. Lauterpacht: "Although the parties may have assumed that the treaty meant little, it is inadmissible to assume that they intended it to mean nothing in the future, and that a document, drawn up in the form of a treaty, with its accompanying solemnity, formality, publicity, as well as constitutional and other guarantees, would not be considered a valid treaty". The author points out that the hypothetical correctness of such conclusions raises many questions. It is not only about Ukraine but also about the fact that the non-compliance and subsequent uncertainty of the Budapest Memorandum, which is part of the architecture of international collective security considering the NPT context, undermines the foundations of international collective security and its main principle that agreements must be fulfilled. The author also notes that today the international legal regime and the architecture of international security are in complete turbulence. There is an increasing awareness within the international community of the ineffectiveness of existing international mechanisms and institutions designed to guarantee the security of states. There is insufficient understanding of the strategic perspective and possible contours of the future world order, affecting the actions of politicians and deepening the state of chaos and uncertainty. In the author's opinion, a completely new configuration of the architecture of global security should be proposed without simple and temporary solutions. New mechanisms of international security should be developed, supported by long-term political vision, strong political determination, scientific recommendations, and effective mechanisms for timely prevention of aggressors.

CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS AND PATRIOTISM OF YOUTH IN THE CONTEXT OF ACADEMIC MOBILITY
The article analyzes some of the challenges facing modern politics in the field of establishing Ukrainian national and civil identity in war conditions. The focus is on student academic mobility, which is still ambiguously assessed in the expert environment, especially in the context of patriotic education. The departure abroad of millions of Ukrainian citizens, including young people, reinforces some prejudices about the actual tasks of international student exchange programs, scientific internships, educational practices, etc. However, along with other challenges and paradoxes of democracy, this very specific human right to freely acquire knowledge and competence in the open world may well contribute to strengthening national stability and civic culture. The aim of the article is to outline the following: the impact of academic mobility on civic awareness and patriotism; the normative understanding of such mobility and the policies of civic identity in the current legislation of Ukraine; specific aspects of international educational programs for youth; recommendations for further strengthening the relationship between the needs of national resilience and the modern demands of young people for mobility. The writing process involved methods such as the analysis of official documents, comparison of sociological survey data, systematic and structured approaches in studying various program opportunities available to contemporary students, as well as their alignment with the current objectives of policies aimed at strengthening national resilience and fostering patriotism in the context of war. A strategic and responsible approach to the development of civic consciousness and patriotic education requires a favorable regulatory framework and experience in its effective implementation. Supporting young people in parallel conditions of war and further globalization of the educational space requires uniting the efforts of specialists in various fields of politics: educational, cultural, informational, security, social and others.

Regulatory and Legal Provision of National Patriotic Education of the Population of Ukraine as a Factor of National Security
The article analyzes the key legal acts aimed at ensuring the national and patriotic education of the population of Ukraine. It is noted that the basis of national-patriotic education is the idea of strengthening Ukrainian statehood as a consolidating factor in the development of society, simultaneously with ensuring the formation of patriotism and the affirmation of national values. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the main conditions for victory over a militarily stronger imperialist enemy are the permanent awareness of the citizens of Ukraine of their belonging to the Ukrainian nation, the presence of a stable Ukrainian-centric worldview and a high level of patriotism. Therefore, patriotism is today one of the main factors of ensuring national security, leaving Ukrainian patriots to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country with dignity, expelling the Russian aggressor from the temporarily occupied territories. It is indicated that one of the key normative legal acts in this field is the Law of Ukraine "On the main measures of state policy in the field of confirmation of Ukrainian national and civil identity", which contributes to the formation of national and civil identity by citizens of the country, which is an important prerequisite for the establishment and prosperity . Ukrainian state. The Law defined key institutions, standards, goals, tasks, priorities and state policy aimed at the formation of Ukrainian national and civic identity. The following components of state policy in the sphere of the establishment of Ukrainian national and civic identity as national-patriotic education, military-patriotic education and civic education were also highlighted. It was also emphasized that the formation and consolidation of patriotic consciousness in society, related to the state symbols and national values of Ukraine, is one of the key tasks of legislation in this field.

Participation of Ukrainian Youth in the Activities of the Territorial Community: the Motivation Aspect
In the context of the implementation of the principle of decentralization in Ukraine, the role of the community in solving and making important decisions is strengthened. Youth is considered because of the importance of this group as a certain social capital for society and the territorial community. The latter is a platform for acquiring and realizing the competencies of young people. The article attempts to highlight the features of the motivational environment, the factors and the nature of their influence on the participation of young people at the level of the territorial community. In the environment that affects the activity of Ukrainian youth in the community, groups of external and internal influencing factors have been identified. External ones include the state, community, education system, media, civil society, family, friends and colleagues; to internal ones - the need for socially oriented activities, mental characteristics of the territorial community, interest in the life of the community, the system of value priorities and the place of socially oriented human values, the development of civic responsibility and duty, trust in the authorities of the territorial community, identification with the community, the region, country, social group, etc. Each of the mentioned factors has its own specificity and performs a certain function in influencing a young person: it can both motivate him to active participation and demotivate him, which contributes to passive and indifferent participation. It is determined separately that the motivational environment can also be determined by the general conditions of social development, the social situation, including crises, war, which can significantly change the type and style of participation, and in general, the activity and behavior of a person. The understanding of the motivational environment and the peculiarities of the impact of isolated factors encourages scientific research and further understanding of the problem of encouraging and stimulating the participation of young people at the level of the territorial community and society in general.

Participatory Instruments Of Legitimization In The Context Of The Martial Law Regime
This article explores the prevalence of participatory democracy tools in contemporary Ukraine as factors in the formation of a new national political culture. In the context of a full-scale war, these practices are becoming key safeguards against the unfolding crisis of legitimacy and radicalization of society. The author analyzes the readiness to introduce mechanisms such as peaceful demonstrations, petitions, public hearings, public consultations, and participatory budgets aimed at engaging citizens in the political process and strengthening trust in government institutions. The war is forcing Ukrainian society to rethink the meaning of democracy and active participation of citizens in shaping public policy. The article is an attempt to answer the question of what needs to be done to make all the tools of participatory democracy work in post-war Ukraine. The author notes that without active involvement of citizens in the political process, it is impossible to achieve sustainable democratic development and stability in the country. The article emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to reforming Ukraine's political system, which includes the introduction of participatory mechanisms, increased transparency and accountability of the authorities, and active involvement of citizens in the political process. This is the only way to ensure sustainable development and a democratic future for Ukraine.

INFORMATION SOCIETY AS AN OBJECT OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH
The article explores the concept of information society as an object of multidisciplinary scientific analysis. Various definitions of the information society, proposed by scientists from various fields of knowledge: economics, sociology, philosophy, political sciences, etc., are analyzed. It is shown that the formation of the information society is directly related to the rapid spread of information and communication technologies in all spheres of life. The main scientific approaches to the study of this phenomenon (i.e., economic, cultural-civilizational, technological, sociological, and spatial) are systematized. It was found that the researchers considered the information society through the lens of analysis of changes in the structure of employment, consumption of information products, dissemination of information technologies, transformation of social interactions and organization of space under the influence of information networks. Common features of the concept of information society in various scientific paradigms are revealed, in particular, recognition of the central role of information and knowledge as the basis of modern social relations. The decisive impact of technological achievements, especially information and communication technologies, on the formation of the information society and the transformation of economic, social and political processes is analyzed. It is shown that theoretical developments of the information society concept created the basis for further research of the information state, its functions, management mechanisms and state policy in the conditions of the information age. The conclusion is made about the need for further conceptualization of the information society in order to improve the scientific understanding of the functioning of the information state.

THE POLITICAL REGIME IN UKRAINE BEFORE AND DURING MARTIAL LAW: NEW CHALLENGES
The relevance of the topic of the article lies in the fact that political regimes and the political system as a whole are key factors for understanding political processes in one or another country and are a set of methods, ways and means of exercising power. Therefore, the nature of the political regime in a particular country reflects the real relationship between power and society in the country, the features and level of development of civil society, the political doctrine of plurality, various groups of influence, the principles of organizing political life and the rules of the game in politics, including those established at the legislative level. In particular, this topic is relevant first of all for Ukraine as a developing state that is on the path of democratic transformations, striving to become a member of the EU and integrate into the Euro-Atlantic political, economic and security structures. Therefore, for Ukraine, which during the history of its independence has experienced a number of revolutions, the "Orange Revolution" and the "Revolution of Dignity" and is now in a state of full-scale war (aggression) by the Russian Federation, the problem of having proper, effective and stable institutional processes and political development and reform of the government system. The article analyzes the transformation of Ukraine's political regimes on the eve and during the martial law introduced after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Conclusions were made regarding the key directions and tasks of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine and the possible development of the political system. The purpose of the article is to clarify the features of political regimes and their transformations in Ukraine before the introduction of martial law due to the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation and after, as well as the related global challenges and problems that are occurring, as well as a forecast of possible options for the development of social - political life in Ukraine in the post-war period.

Implementation of Mechanisms for Interaction Between Civil Society Institutions and Local Governments During the War
The article defines the concept of “civil society” and the basic principles of functioning of local self-government bodies in civil society, and analyzes the role of civil society, which is particularly important in the context of total war in Ukraine. All Ukrainians take an active part in the public life of the state and contribute to the common victory over the enemy. That is why the role of civil society is so important. The future of our nation depends on the collective strength and unity of every individual. This article explains the importance of civil society institutions in the development and functioning of a democratic state. The legal framework that regulates the interaction between civil society organizations and local governments is studied. The results of the study show that the legal framework governing the interaction and legal relations between local governments and civil society organizations in Ukraine includes the Constitution of Ukraine, international law, certain laws of Ukraine and bylaws An important feature of civil society is its independence not only from the state, but also from public authorities, which include local governments. Local self-government cannot be considered a part of civil society, as it is expressly prohibited by law. On the contrary, the structure of civil society is formed at the will of citizens, not by specific laws, but only by law. In a democratic state, civil society interacts with public authorities. Public authority is a type of socio-political, sovereign and legitimate power based on public interest and impersonality. This system, based on law and legislation, encompasses social, public-political, and volitional relations arising between individuals and legal entities (as subjects of civil society) and state institutions and organizations (as entities of authoritative powers) and holds prospects for further research.

The Impact of the Defense of Ukrainian Sovereignty on the Development of Political Freedom in Ukraine
The article deals with the issue of development of political freedom in the conditions dictated by the protection of Ukrainian sovereignty. Using the structural-functional and normative-value approaches, the author comes to the conclusion that there are no fundamental contradictions between the protection of sovereignty and the development of political freedom. It is analyzed that political freedom is interpreted quite diversely in scholarly sources. Among its specific moral, civic-republican, or deliberative definitions, positive and negative freedoms remain central.At the same time, the specific historical peculiarity of Ukrainian values requires the creation of a new type of freedom: freedom of creation as an activity of a separate elitist community of humanities scholars on an intuitive plane, as an interpretation of the content of the values prevailing in society. The ideal of freedom of creation is not similar to the ideal of expertocracy, since the subjects who have freedom of creation are outside of political institutions. This freedom is conceptualized as the activity of a distinct elitist community of humanities scholars at an intuitive level, interpreting the content of values prevailing in society.Freedom of creation will enhance positive freedom and require some reduction of negative freedom, while preserving it in principle. The criterion for the truth of the interpretation of values is living in accordance with the values. Freedom of creativity will reinforce positive freedom while requiring a certain reduction in the scope of negative freedom, though its fundamental preservation remains necessary. Foreign influence on the humanities community is minimized due to the characteristic feature of Ukrainian values that place values above principles, and the non-interference of humanitarian scholars in political life itself. The institutionalization of freedom of creation requires further research.

Features of Democratic Transformations in Modern Ukraine
The relevance of the topic of the article lies in the fact that even at the current stage of its existence in Ukraine, the non-linearity of political development associated with transitory jumps and systemic tension caused by the modern Russian-Ukrainian war can be traced. In essence, the existing changes in the political regime in Ukraine are connected with the defense of the state essence, which are a reflection on external challenges. In order to determine the type of political regime in Ukraine, it is first of all necessary to take into account the interaction and choice of various factors in the context of the historical formation of Ukrainian statehood. Therefore, it is very important to reflect on the current period of time in which Ukraine found itself, because it is usually after such times that the strengthening of democratic processes and transformational upsurges take place. First of all, it is necessary to take into account the former state of the political system in Ukraine, which can be the main factor in understanding the value of modern democratic transformations, because for a long time the mission of the Ukrainian state remained undefined, which requires clarification of this mission and other tasks, goals, directions and vectors of development. Democratization should become a key mechanism for reforming public administration, which is currently one of the most important and important components of the political process in Ukraine. It is very interesting to track exactly how democratic state formation is taking place in our country and to determine the characteristic features of this process from the point of view of transitology as one of the post-communist countries, which are aimed at the consolidation of democracy. The purpose of the article is to determine of the specifics of the transformation of the political regime in Ukraine, which not only changed every time, but also acquired new qualities and characteristics, which affected the state-building process and socio-political development. This refers to an attempt to determine the peculiarities of the Ukrainian version of the transition from an authoritarian political regime to a democratic system in order to clarify the peculiarities of the democratization scenario.

NATIONAL VALUES AND DEFENSIVE CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE FOCUS OF STATE POLICY
The article examines the transformations in Ukraine's state policy in fostering citizens’ defensive consciousness and the value orientations of the political nation during wartime. This involves a reinterpretation of political science categories such as consciousness, values, and identity through a security dimension, which has influenced academic research, educational programs, legal frameworks, and political practices. Defensive consciousness, as a politico-axiological phenomenon and an element of national identity, is explored in the context of its interrelation with patriotic education, civic education, and political consolidation. State policy in this sphere is reconsidered as the "art of the possible," shaped by values, priorities, agency, and limits of intervention. The study employs a politico-axiological approach, analyzing legal acts, scientific texts, and sociological survey data. It reveals how war has fostered the prioritization of security, patriotism, and social maturity within Ukrainian society, leading to a transformation of values and identity structures. Defensive consciousness is identified as a complex phenomenon requiring interdisciplinary analysis, while the challenges of identity politics (e.g., political manipulation, populism, external threats) demand rigorous political science investigation. It is argued that the adoption of new legal documents reflects attempts to enhance the state's role in shaping national identity. At the same time, it is crucial to avoid interdepartmental duplications and contradictions, strive for further alignment of such policies with new strategic goals, and incorporate lessons learned in building a democratic model of ethnopolitics, memory policy, and reintegration into identity policy documents. The findings underscore the need to develop state policy in the field of national identity (and defensive consciousness as its component) through scientifically grounded concepts and the promotion of political values that address contemporary challenges.

Ethno-Political Discussions in Ukraine of the XX-XXI Centuries: Traditions and Modernity
The article studies the issues of ethnic policy in Ukraine, in particular, focuses on the relevance of the integration of national minorities into the social life of the country. In the context of the political and social instability that periodically arises in Ukraine, the issue of ensuring equal rights for all citizens, regardless of their ethnic origin, remains critical. The relevance of the study is due to the need to form a stable national policy that would contribute to the harmonious coexistence of different ethnic groups, their cultural self-realization and preservation of identity, without violating national values and norms. The purpose of the work is to analyze modern approaches to ethnic policy in Ukraine, in particular methods and means aimed at integrating national minorities and ensuring their rights. The main objectives of the study are to identify and assess the key problems faced by Ukrainian ethno-policy, as well as to identify promising directions for its development. The results of the study demonstrate the ambiguity of the current state of ethnic policy in Ukraine: despite efforts to ensure the rights of minorities, there are problems with the implementation of effective policies that would ensure an adequate level of integration of national minorities into society. It has been found that although modern policies are aimed at protecting the rights of minorities, their practical implementation often faces socio-economic and cultural obstacles. This shows the need to further improve policies to take into account the needs of all ethnic groups and strengthen national unity. The conclusions indicate that ensuring the rights of national minorities is an important component of the democratic development of Ukraine, however, in order to achieve harmonious integration, it is necessary to pay more attention to the mechanisms for implementing adopted legislative norms. The author emphasize the importance of further scientific research in this area and the development of new, flexible approaches to ethnic policy that would allow taking into account the specifics of different ethnic groups and contribute to the preservation of social stability.

Geopolitical Transformations in Eu-Russia Relations: Impact of Internal and External Factors
This article analyzes the geopolitical changes in the relations between the European Union (EU) and the Russian Federation (RF), which have significantly affected global security and stability. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, EU-Russia relations have gone through various phases, ranging from aspirations for cooperation and strategic partnership to open confrontation, which escalated after the annexation of Crimea in 2014. The culmination of this conflict was Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The article examines internal and external factors that have driven these changes, focusing on the negative consequences of Russia’s policies for international security. Among the internal factors, such as the concentration of power, repression of the opposition, and control over the media under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, conditions created the development of an authoritarian regime in Russia. Economic dependence on energy exports and the severe sanctions imposed by the EU and the USA following the annexation of Crimea exacerbated these issues. Propaganda has also played a significant role in shaping public sentiment that supports Moscow's aggressive foreign policy. External factors include the eastward expansion of the EU and NATO, which Russia perceived as a security threat. Conflicts in the post-Soviet space, particularly in Georgia and Ukraine became vivid manifestations of Russia’s aggressive policy. The war in eastern Ukraine and support for separatist movements significantly worsened relations between the EU and Russia, leading to Russia’s further international isolation. The article also explores the impact of geopolitical changes on international security, including military tensions, energy security, and cybersecurity. Increased military activity, the development of alternative energy sources, and the fight against cyber threats have become key responses by the EU to these challenges. The conclusions emphasize the need for substantial changes in Russia’s foreign policy to restore dialogue and partnership with the EU. It also stresses the importance of the EU continuing to develop strategies to strengthen its security and reduce dependence on Russia, which will contribute to stability and security both in Europe and globally.

Features of International Security Mechanisms of NATO: Political and Socio-Economic Aspects
International security is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that, in modern political science research, requires consideration of various factors, such as geopolitical shifts, global challenges, and internal transformations. The author of the article emphasizes the role of international organizations, particularly NATO, in ensuring collective security. Given threats such as terrorism, cyberattacks, and new forms of conflicts, NATO continues to adapt its strategy to respond to changing conditions. Crisis management necessitates international mechanisms, along with a revision of ineffective formats in practice, such as the Budapest Memorandum, which were intended to support stability. For NATO, the ability of states and their democratic alliances to ensure readiness for collective action in crisis situations is crucial. A systemic approach to management also includes active socio-economic support for partner countries, which helps mitigate the risks of conflicts. The article argues that the implementation of NATO standards can address significant issues and provide the Armed Forces of Ukraine with resources to respond to modern threats. It is also important to consider political aspects, particularly coordination among member states. Only by integrating regulatory, organizational-functional, and institutional mechanisms can NATO remain a viable mechanism for maintaining global stability. For Ukraine, this entails utilizing international experience to implement reforms necessary to meet NATO standards, which will enhance defense capabilities and stability in the region. Additionally, the role of economic security is highlighted in the context of international stability. Modern conflicts often arise against the backdrop of economic crises, making a resilient economy a vital element of both national and international security. For Ukraine, which has suffered significant economic losses due to war, priorities include restoring and diversifying economic relations, attracting foreign investment, and developing strategic sectors. Economic security also involves integration into global markets and forming new trade agreements, which will allow Ukraine to strengthen its position on the international stage.

Ethics and Confidentiality Issues in Digital International Communications
The article examines data privacy and digital human rights issues in today’s global environment, where information flows across borders in real time. The author analyzes key challenges for personal data protection in international communications, focusing on the diversity of legal approaches in different countries and the risks associated with personal information sharing. Privacy is defined as the protection of personal data from unauthorized access, especially in contexts where data may cross borders with varying legal standards. The article highlights the role of large corporations, such as Google and Facebook, in safeguarding and protecting user data, given the potential threats of data breaches or misuse. It examines measures taken by governments, particularly within the EU, to ensure data protection, though the global nature of the internet presents obstacles to enforcing such requirements. In the context of digital human rights, aspects such as the right to privacy, freedom of expression, access to information, and protection from digital surveillance are discussed. The author emphasizes that these rights are closely linked to basic human rights, yet the current advancement of technology creates new threats. The Cambridge Analytica case is cited as an example of how personal data can be used to manipulate public opinion. The article raises the issue of the digital divide, which limits internet access for a large portion of the population, especially in developing countries, contributing to social inequality. The problem of digital surveillance and the potential for technology, such as facial recognition, to be used for discrimination or human rights violations is also addressed, with mention of China's social credit system as an example. Finally, the article explores the ethical application of artificial intelligence and the need for international standards to ensure transparency, accountability, and security in the use of digital technologies.

Political Stability as a Key Factor of Economic Security: an Institutional Approach
The article examines the stability and efficiency of the political system as one of the key factors of economic security of the state. In modern conditions, political stability is becoming the basis for the effective functioning of state institutions, making strategically important decisions and ensuring stable economic development. The author emphasizes that the stability of the political system is determined by a number of factors, including institutional stability, political legitimacy, socio-economic conditions, and the impact of external threats. These factors interact with each other, creating a basis for sustainable development and risk reduction. One of the main aspects of political resilience is institutional stability, which implies the reliable operation of public authorities such as the parliament, government and judiciary. Stable and effective institutions ensure compliance with laws, transparency of decisions, and predictability of political processes, which strengthens citizens' trust in the government. The article notes that institutional stability is an important element in preventing crises that can destabilize the political system and have a negative impact on economic security. Political legitimacy, which is the public recognition of the legitimacy of the government, also plays an important role in ensuring stability. It is noted that public trust in the political system and government reduces the risk of social conflicts, thus contributing to a stable political environment. In addition, the legitimacy of the government largely depends on its ability to respond to the demands of society and ensure the implementation of economic and social programs, which contributes to the strengthening of economic security. The article also discusses socio-economic factors that have a significant impact on the sustainability of the political system. Economic growth, equitable distribution of resources, and access to basic services such as healthcare and education reduce social tensions and promote political stability. On the other hand, economic crises, high unemployment and social inequality can become catalysts for protests and political unrest that threaten the stability of the state.

Historical and Ethnopolitical Dimensions of Transformation of International Security
The article is dedicated to analyzing changes in the concept of international security after the Cold War, with a particular focus on the role of ethnopolitics in contemporary international crises. Following the end of the Cold War, international security underwent significant transformations; however, new threats, particularly ethnopolitical conflicts, emerged as some of the main challenges to global stability. Ethnic nationalism, separatism, and cultural factors have increasingly become causes of internal conflicts, which may escalate into international crises requiring the attention of international organizations and states. One of the key aspects of the article is the relationship between ethnopolitical conflicts and international security, where ethnic groups often remain a factor not only of national but also of global instability. These conflicts rarely stay confined to national borders, often receiving support or triggering external intervention. External actors, seeking to secure their political and economic interests, may support specific ethnic or national movements, thereby intensifying the escalation of conflicts. The article also examines the role of international organizations in resolving ethnopolitical crises. However, such organizations face challenges when addressing conflicts where ethnic issues are central. The article further discusses the role of external intervention in ethnopolitical conflicts, analyzing how humanitarian operations, peacekeeping missions, or military interventions can have both positive and negative consequences. Particular attention is given to the analysis of the phenomenon of "ethnic security" in the context of globalization, where interethnic tensions may be exacerbated by economic and social factors. The article also explores examples of conflicts arising from global changes, which may trigger new ethnopolitical crises. The author emphasizes the importance of revisiting the concept of international security in light of the growing role of ethnic factors, which significantly impact global stability. Taking ethnopolitical aspects into account in international policy will help more effectively respond to crisis situations and ensure long-term stability.

Political Knowledge as a Factor of National Consolidation and Fighting Information Threats
The article provides a theoretical analysis of the current level of political knowledge of Ukrainian society with an emphasis on their role in national consolidation in the face of new informational and security challenges inherent in hybrid warfare. The main ways of strengthening political education, legal awareness and information literacy, which are key to ensuring national stability and consolidation of Ukrainian society in the conditions of military aggression, are highlighted. The peculiarity of hybrid war is its complex nature, which includes the use of military, political and informational means aimed at undermining national security both within the country and on the international arena. Considering these challenges, the authors emphasize the need to develop scientific and practical recommendations for increasing the level of political knowledge of the population, which, in turn, will contribute to the formation of a stable political culture and the unification of Ukrainian society on the basis of a common national identity. The topic of political knowledge, political education and culture is one of the key variables in the research of the science of political science, democratic processes and political communication, which gives it significant scientific and practical importance in the context of protecting the interests of the state in the political sphere. The study indicates that political knowledge is a complex political phenomenon, the development of which requires systematic work through the tools of political education, democratization of public life, and self-organization of civil society with the involvement of existing political and public institutions. Based on the results of the research, it is proposed to introduce a training course that will contribute to the formation of the political culture of society and the acquisition of political knowledge. This course should combine knowledge of political processes and events, assimilation of democratic European values and traditions of Ukraine, as well as consider the issue of informational threats, methods of their neutralization and legal regulation of relevant processes. The need for conducting a systematic information campaign regarding countering the enemy in the information sphere and consolidating society on the basis of common values and goals in opposing the invader has been identified.

Regional Markers Of Ethno-Political Processes In Ukraine Through The Prism Of National Consolidation: History And Present
The regional features of Ukraine are considered through the prism of the ethnic composition of its population. Such factors and indicators of regional development as regional memory, political preferences, cultural features, etc. are considered particularly important. It is noted that regional memory is a type of social memory, which is a set of knowledge, assessments and ideas about the past, which have a significant impact on the development of a particular region. Self-awareness of citizens of a particular region as a part of it is realized through a number of factors. In particular: historical, political, ethnic, etc. It is also noted that another indicator that distinguishes the regions of Ukraine is political preferences and values. The latter are combined with regional specificity, which, in turn, lays down potential prerequisites for contradictions, illustrating the socio-cultural and political diversity of Ukrainian society. However, against the background of scientists' identification of a certain number of regions in Ukraine, it is emphasized that the mechanical division of the country into regions is rather unproductive and often stands in the way of the consolidation of a political nation. The historical and modern ethnopolitical processes in the regions that are the most ethnically diverse are highlighted and analyzed, since it is here that there is a potential for conflict, which can become an obstacle on the way to the consolidation of the country. In particular, these are the following regions of Ukraine: Transcarpathia, Bukovyna, Volyn, Galicia, Odesa, Kherson, Kharkiv, Donbas and Crimea. However, overcoming problems in the field of ethno-political relations requires the state to have an effective and efficient ethno-national policy of civil consolidation around common values and interests. The latter should take into account both the interests of the meaningful ethnic group and national minorities living on the territory of the country. Especially, taking into account the processes related to the integration of Ukraine into the European community.

Socio-Political Factors of Formation of Media Policy in Modern Ukraine
The article analyzes the factors of formation of media policy in modern Ukraine. Its formation and implementation reproduce the existing trends and challenges of modern processes of the information society, in particular, the increased influence of the media on social and political relations and their subjects, the introduction of the possibilities of information and communication technologies in the creation and distribution of news, the formation of new rules of communication between the government and society, the use of information and communication innovations in the field of public administration and others. These factors actualize the readiness, opportunities and adaptation of all spheres of society to the changes that accompany the outlined processes. In Ukraine, they are increasing many times over due to the challenges caused by Russia's armed aggression. Particular attention is paid to the issue of media consumption of political information by Ukrainians, in particular news materials. On the basis of sociological data, it was determined that Ukrainians are most interested in information about the war and pay little attention to political messages. It is assumed that the reason for this may be a low level of trust in political institutions and their ability to make effective decisions during the war. The importance of balanced approaches to the implementation of media policy, which take into account the trends, tendencies and problems of both the media and political spheres of Ukrainian society, is emphasized. This affects the issues of professional creation of media content, conscious consumption of news materials, in particular about the war, open communication between the government and society. It is emphasized that the solution of the specified problems requires further scientific understanding, which will contribute to the effective implementation of media policy as a system of interaction between the media, the state and civil society.
