The paper looks into the processes and conditions which led to the change of the geopolitical vector of Ukraine in the second decade of the 21st century. Applicable legal documents on national security and defense, adopted by the Ukrainian authorities in 2015-2016, are analyzed, namely the National Security Strategy, the Military Doctrine, the Strategic Defense Bulletin and the White Book of Ukraine -2015. It is pointed out that, as opposed to the previous documents, the above instruments identify the Russian military-political aggression among the current justifiable threats to and dangers for national security of Ukraine and suggest some steps to develop a new national security system with the maximal level of compatibility of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with NATO countries through introducing standards of the North Atlantic Alliance and achievement of the long-term objective of joining the Common European security system.
