ABSTRACT: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has gained increasing importance, particularly in light of Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and subsequent military actions in the war in Ukraine. Despite Ukraine's official request to join NATO, it remains a partner rather than a member, prompting criticism and calls for more assertive actions. NATO’s growing engagement in Eastern Europe has generated issues regarding whether Ukraine should be recognized as a member and whether current internal policies should be reframed to align with potential future establishments. Ukraine's official request to join NATO was as early as 2008, though only grew to draw relevance during the war, which resulted in substantial discussion about NATO's role in the conflict, including a significant increase in criticism of the alliance. Many have deemed their engagement as too risky, while others have advocated for even more direct measures. In order To evaluate these scenarios, a policy review as well as literature review was conducted. Several matrices were utilized to present the positives and negatives of the existing status quo, as well as other alternatives that would fit the vision of safeguarding the international relations of Ukraine. The following paper will discuss the possibility of seeking a middle ground, an alternative approach in which Ukraine and NATO maintain global security while simultaneously ensuring Ukrainian stability.
