Summary/Abstract: The current social and economic situation of Ukraine, and especially the impoverishment of society and the growing problems of the budget, tend to pay attention to those areas of the state that can generate a threat to Europe. There is growing gap between the authorities and some nationalist circles, who have a large Representation in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. This situation makes it necessary to approach pessimistic about the implementation of the Agreement "Minsk II" in the field of de-escalation of the conflict in Donbas. Therefore, Ukraine can talk about a permanent threat of destabilization. It occurs in a special way in many areas of the western part of Ukraine. Separatist processes take place in particular in the Transcarpathian region. There is growing national Ruthenian movement toward autonomy, supported by the Hungarian minority. Moreover the region is experiencing sharp fighting between criminal organizations associated with Ukrainian nationalists.
