Ethnopolitical Stability in Ukraine: Challenges and Prospects of Overcoming Them (example of Chernivtsi Oblast, Ukraine)

Abstract

The urgency of scientific intelligence is due to the need to identify potential threats to the ethnopolitical stability of Ukraine, in particular in its border areas. The purpose of this intelligence is to clarify the challenges of ethno-political stability in Ukraine on the example of one of the polyethnic regions of our country – Chernivtsi Oblast. The ethno-national pattern of the state is always an important factor in its domestic political stability and attractive international image. The formation of the political Ukrainian nation takes place in extremely difficult conditions, but without this neither a democratic state nor European integration will take place. The turn of events in modern Ukraine once again confirms that we cannot consider the situation in Chernivtsi Oblast outside the context of all-Ukrainian events. War and economic destabilization are of the biggest challenges, including ethno-political stability in Ukraine in general and Chernivtsi Oblast in particular.
