At the end of 2021, Russia published drafts of a treaty with the United States and an agreement with NATO on security guarantees. Moscow, in particular, demands from its Western partners legal guarantees of refusing further expansion of NATO to the East, from joining the bloc of Ukraine and from creating military bases in post-Soviet countries. After the 2014 coup d'état, Ukraine began to aggressively pursue a policy of integration with the West. In the wake of these expectations, changes were made to the country's constitution, which fixed the country's course towards the EU and NATO.
