Abstract
EN Ukraine’s importance points beyond the fact that this area is Europe’s second largest state in area and the largest part of it dominates the East European Plain. Its geopolitical position has an important role in Europe. But what is geopolitics? Why do we need to clarify this term? Because, throughout history, scientists have defined this from various aspects from the geographical, historical, political, anthropological, geo-historical, military-geographical and geostrategical point of view. The word itself originates from the Greek. Geos (Earth) and politicos (community) and represents a politically relevant community’s power through the state over a geographical area. According to the accepted modern definition: “Geopolitics is a multidisciplinary science which analyses the international relations.” In my paper, I want to examine the geopolitical situation of Ukraine from a historical, socio-geographical, military-geographical and geostrategical point of view; thus providing a deeper insight into the region. Furthermore, I would like to focus on the root of the region’s problems and issues that might arise.
