Integration into the European Union declared by the political elites of Ukraine means, first of all, the establishment of those ideas, values and standards in the Ukrainian society that form the foundation of the centuries-long period of formation and state-of-art development of many European democracies, primarily – of Western pattern.

General European values, namely pluralistic democracy, supremacy of law and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms were accepted by Ukraine and declared as principles of its societal development.
