CUESTIONES POLÍTICAS Vol. 39 Nº 68 (Enero - Junio 2021): 866-881 867 Resumen La cuestión fronteriza se ha vuelto particularmente urgente para Ucrania desde 2014 con el comienzo de la agresión militar por parte de Rusia, la anexión ilegal de la República Autónoma de Crimea y la ciudad de Sebastopol, así como la ocupación temporal de la parte del territorio soberano de Ucrania en las regiones de Donetsk y Luhansk. El problema de la formalización legal de la frontera entre Ucrania y Rusia exige un examen más detenido en el contexto de relaciones complejas entre dos Estados. Este artículo busca analizar la situación actual de formalización legal de la frontera del Estado ucraniano con los países de la región y pone de relieve las principales amenazas a su seguridad nacional derivadas del proceso incompleto de formalización de la frontera estatal ucraniana con la Federación rusa. Se reveló que el proceso incompleto de formalización legal de la frontera puede significar pérdida de soberanía e integridad territorial para Ucrania. Se concluye que existe una amenaza potencial de escalada de conflictos fronterizos y enfrentamientos militares en las regiones fronterizas, así como en las fronteras de Ucrania, y la propagación de manifestaciones extremistas, terroristas y separatistas en la frontera estatal de Ucrania. Palabras clave: borde del estado; seguridad nacional; intervención rusa; Crimea; ocupación territorial. Introduction State border is an important element of the State policy of institutional integration and cultural assimilation (Vrban, 2018). The establishment of State border always has been and will expectadly remain one of strategic national security objectives of each country. Ukraine is not an exception in this respect. The issue of defining the borders of Ukraine has arisen after the signature of the Declaration of Independence of Ukraine, the dissolution of the former Soviet Union and creation of new independent states. In this connection, on 12 September 1991, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the Law of Ukraine “On Legal Succession of Ukraine” (Verkhovna Rada, 1991). Article 5 states that “State border of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics separating the territory of Ukraine from other States and the border between the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, the Republic of Moldova as of 16 July 1990 constitute the state border of Ukraine” (Verkhovna Rada, 2003). Ukraine has joint borders with seven states. Four of them are the European Union Member States (the Republic of Poland, the Slovak Volodymyr Nikiforenko Modern Threats to the National Security of Ukraine Related to Incomplete Legal Formalization 868 Process of Ukrainian State Border Republic, Hungary, and Romania). The length of border with the mentioned EU Member States is 1,390,742 km, which is 20% of the whole border length. Other three States which have joint borders with Ukraine are MemberStates of the Commonwealth of Independent States (the Republic of Moldova, the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation). The border length with the CIS Member States is 4,601,24 km, or 65 % of whole length. More than 1,001 km (15 %) of Ukraine’s border passes along the boundary of the territorial sea. The longest border segment of Ukraine is the Ukrainian-Russian one and stretches for 2,295.04 km. The shortest border segment of Ukraine is the Ukrainian-Slovak area (98 km). Ukraine is bordered in the Black Sea with the sea areas of Romania, Turkey and the Russian Federation. Taking into account the uncertain legal status of the Ukrainian-Russian segment of state border, Ukraine has faced a potential threat of the loss of the sovereignty and territorial integrity under direct military intervention of the Russian Federation. It is obvious that the ongoing attempts by the political leadership of the Russian Federation to redefine new state borders in modern world constitute one of the most blatant violations of international law, which in turn could trigger or repeat a territorial dispute between neighbours (Harrison, 2007).
