“…To date, research on Ukraine's EU integration can be roughly divided into two main groups. The first group focuses on the opportunities and challenges for the Ukrainian economy within the DFTCA and the impact of signing the Association Agreement with the EU (Grytsenko et al, 2021;Savelyev et al, 2021;Soroka, 2022). This group of papers analysed the directions of changes in Ukraine's foreign policy, including foreign trade (Babenko et al, 2019;Balezentis, Yatsenko, 2018;Ruzhynskas, 2022) and regional policy (Babenko et al, 2020;Nowakowska et al, 2022) that will accompany its integration into the EU.…”

The study aims to assess changes in the ability of Ukrainian goods to compete in the EU market. It reflects Ukraine’s progress towards EU integration in the run-up to Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Using foreign trade measures, including international specialisation, we show the specifics of Ukraine’s integration into the EU. By estimating the level and changes in the market shares of Ukraine’s commodity groups in the EU market, we show its progress in penetrating this market compared to non-EU countries. On the one hand, the geographical structure of Ukraine’s foreign trade changed radically between 2010 and 2021. On the other hand, more minor changes in the commodity structure of exports and Ukraine’s international specialisation were accompanied byan increased market share of Ukraine’s exports in the EU market. It reflected an improvement in the ability of Ukrainian goods to compete, thus fulfilling one of Ukraine’s accession criteria. Calculated on the basis of market shares, the increase in the ability of Ukrainian goods to compete is confirmed by estimates of export competitiveness indicators: the Balassa index of revealedcomparative advantages and the Lafay index. Levels and changes in the three indicators varied between commodity groups. The increase in the market shares of three commodity groups (raw materials, so-called “other manufactured goods” (medium and low technology) and food products) was accompanied by significant and increasing levels of export competitiveness indicators. The decline in the market shares of other commodity groups was accompanied by low and declining levels of export specialisation indicators. Thus, Ukraine’s integration into the EU has so far been based on the expansion of competitive and competitive-enhancing goods, in the production of which Ukraine specialises.

The importance and relevance of theoretical understanding of the problems of initiating and developing the processes of European integration are substantiated. Key theoretical approaches and concepts in the study of European integration are defined, systematized and revealed, including: federalism, functionalism, neofunctionalism, intergovernmental approach, liberal intergovernmental approach, the concept of political networks, multilevel governance theory, institutional approach, theory of disintegration. The cooperation of European countries in the field of research and innovation is described from the standpoint of several theoretical approaches. It was shown that the foundation of European integration in this area was laid in the early stages of the EU founding, and since then scientific cooperation between countries has been significantly deepened and expanded in both geographical and sectoral terms. The evolution of theoretical ideas on European integration is revealed in accordance with the periodization of A. Wiener and T. Diez, who divided these ideas, by historical and substantive contexts, into three phases: explanatory, analytical and constructive. This periodization has been expanded and adapted to modern conditions and challenges, taking into account the crisis processes in the development of the EU, by supplementing it with the fourth phase - disintegration with a period of dominance since 2008 and until now. This name, however, does not imply the inevitable destruction or disintegration of the EU; the generalization of theoretical ideas on disintegration processes indicates a significant discrepancy between the views of authors with Eurosceptic bias, who in their assessments are more inclined to the change or adjustment of European integration directions according to the new realities and expectations of countries. Emphasis is placed on the need for theoretical understanding of future scenarios for the development of integration in the EU in the context of the formation of a new historical reality related to the Russian military invasion of independent Ukraine.

The article provides a few evaluations of institutional efficiency in Ukraine according to the methodology of the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators. The presented institutional dynamics give reasons to assess institutional efficiency in Ukraine as low not only in relation to the average European level, but also in relation to European countries with low institutional efficiency (Bulgaria and Romania). According to the vast majority of indicators of institutional efficiency, downward institutional dynamics are observed. In order to determine the factors of effective institutional adaptation of Ukraine, the work displays the experience of successful (Estonia) and less successful (Bulgaria) EU member states. On this basis, institutional risks are shown and it is substantiated that a rational European integration strategy should include appropriate approaches from the point of view of integration risk management, including the creation of national reserves and maintaining the ability to maneuver in case of shock situations. It is shown that for the successful implementation of European integration processes, it is necessary to create one's own institutional architecture, adequate to the nationally rooted type of economic development, based on Ukrainian identity.
