Summary/Abstract: The creation of the Three Seas Initiative (TSI), the political andeconomic format for 12 EU countries, is accompanied by a growing intereston the part of world powers and non-EU countries in the region. The aim ofthe research is to analyse the involvement of three Eastern European countries, namely Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova in projects developed underTSI. The research used a neorealistic approach. These countries belong tothe post-Soviet area and, apart from Belarus, show a willingness to cooperatewith Western institutions, which arouses a strong reaction from the RussianFederation. The research will result in determining their participation in projects implemented by TSI, including energy, transport, and digital infrastructure. These countries are on the way to working more closely with the Initiative, possibly under the new TSI plus format. The United States supportsthe expansion of the Three Seas Initiative.
