Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to analyze the transformation of the leadership style of the main institutions of the European Union (European Council, European Commission, European Parliament) and its impact on EU activities undertaken in the field of revision of the EU’s eastern policy, which took place in the aftermath of Russia’s illegal full-scale attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In connection with the above, special attention was paid to discussing the Ukrainian issue as a factor directly affecting the change in the position of the main European political actors (both individual and collective) towards the role of the EU as a structural force in the Eastern Partnership region. In addition, emphasis is placed on the main issues affecting the effectiveness of democratization processes in Ukraine after the 2019 parliamentary and presidential elections. Another task is to assess the activities undertaken by EU institutions to support the Europeanization processes in Ukraine and to present possible directions of cooperation in the post-war period.
