Abstract: The author notes that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in modern conditions plays one of the key roles in ensuring security and stability in Europe. It is stated that, in accordance with its founding documents, this international structure aims to unite the efforts of its members for collective defense and for the preservation of peace and security. The article reveals the international legal aspects of the Partnership for Peace program, established in 1991 to ensure cooperation between NATO and European states that are not members of the alliance, and to maintain a constant dialogue on issues of mutual interest to both NATO and states that are not part of this military-political bloc. It is emphasized that this program is used for the purpose of cooperation between NATO members and non-members in the military and defense spheres, including in various crisis situations, based on the postulate that the security of member states is inseparably linked with the security of all other European states. The article focuses on the analysis of the history and prospects of the development of relations between Ukraine and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The policy of the Ukrainian leadership towards the bloc, as well as concrete steps within the framework of Euro-Atlantic integration are considered. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the compliance of the current state of the internal political system of Ukraine with the requirements and standards of NATO. The official position of the Russian Federation on the issue of Ukraine's membership in NATO is considered. It is concluded that Ukraine's entry into NATO in the short and medium term contradicts the interests of the international organization itself.

Abstract: This article specifies and characterizes the major milestones in Russia-China scientific and technical (including military) cooperation from the political legal perspective. The starting point is the intergovernmental agreements of 1992 on the scientific and technical cooperation (STC) and military and technical cooperation (MTC). The author determines the difficulties and prospects of cooperation in the indicated fields; provides the examples of particular forms of such cooperation. An objective need of Russia and China for the development of STC and MTC on mutually beneficial terms serves as the basis for research. The scientific novelty consists in the “end-to-end” approach that views the question at hand in retrospective and from modern perspective. It is established that the scientific and technical development of Russia and China has a strong legal framework and substantial groundwork of previous years, possesses a multidivisional organizational structure and active connections at various levels, which creates the foundation for the progress in the area of military and technical cooperation. Therefore, the development of STC of Russia and China in the long run seems quite successful.
