Ukraine has intensified its cooperation with NATO in 2014, amid the annexation of Crimea by Russia and the beginning of Russian aggression in the Donbas. At the end of 2014, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law that requires the refusal of Ukraine from the policy of non-alignment. In June 2017, the Parliament approved a law confirming Ukraine’s intention to join NATO.
