Modern Challenges in The Sphere of Defense and National Security of Ukraine

Modern political science has singled out national identity based on citizenship from other features (language, culture, ethnic origin, etc.). A Ukrainian is not only someone who communicates in the Ukrainian language or visits the churches of the OCU but, fi rst, a representative of society who respects the citizenship of the Ukrainian state and is ready to defend it. The Ukrainian state, which is in the conditions of an existential war with Russia and socio-political imbalance, should focus on the nationwide consolidation of society and the cessation of destructive processes that harm the formation of state-building traditions and national legal awareness of citizens. Despite a wide range of external negative factors, the primary source of destruction and obstacles was and remains the Ukrainian political community — subjects who should act as carriers of political culture, values, and national cohesion, but instead, contrary to national interests, work to the detriment of Ukraine — spread negative provocative narratives, misinformation, fear, insecurity, etc. Such actions demonstrate the immaturity of Ukrainian political elites and eff orts to put their conjunctural political interests above national interests. The maturity of society consists in the realization that power belongs to and is formed by the majority, that is, the people of Ukraine, as the only source of power, and not by the oligarchic-corrupt system, in whose hands fi nancial and political instruments are concentrated. One of the basic strategic tasks in national security and defense should be implementing an eff ective model of collective security and defense tested in several countries, where every citizen should become an integral component of the national defense system. The military profession should be prestigious and socially signifi cant.
