Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author characterizes Eurosceptic tendencies in Ukraine after 2014. Describes the main political forces that use this discourse to strengthen their political position. The text also includes the characteristics of the Eurosceptic discourse used in Ukraine as part of a political struggle. The analysis mainly focuses on political parties that represent voters from the eastern regions of Ukraine. Despite the violent pro-European political turnover that took place in 2014, some voters, mainly in the eastern regions of the country, still support pro-Russian and anti-Western policy, the main element of which is giving up European aspirations and rebuild close relations with Russia.
