Abstract. The paper analyses the European strategic partnership as a political and strategic association of countries focused on achieving common goals in various fields, such as security, economy, politics, culture and social issues. The author reveals the directions of the European integration vector of strategic partnership, among which a special place is occupied by the Eastern Partnership, launched by the European Union in cooperation with the countries of Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus. A special place is occupied by the EU-NATO strategic partnership, which has close relations and cooperates in many areas, including security and defence. It is proved that cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Ukraine is an important and comprehensive area of the European integration vector of the strategic partnership, which is based on the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement signed on 21 March 2014 and entered into force on 1 November 2017. The European partnership is studied in terms of advantages and disadvantages and it is determined that the effectiveness of the European Partnership may depend on many factors. Challenges to European integration, such as political disputes, corruption, social inequalities and others, and the need for countries to respond to these challenges, implement reforms and comply with their obligations to the EU are analysed. The author substantiates the security strategy of the European Union, which is based on the principles of common security and responsibility. The concept of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), which is aimed at cooperation with neighbouring countries and aims to strengthen stability, security, prosperity and democracy in the regions, "privileged and differentiated partnership" is distinguished and analysed. It is concluded that the Euro-strategic partnership is aimed at enabling the parties to work together on economic, political, and social issues, and to effectively manage challenges, including political, economic, and geopolitical risks, in order to achieve common goals and promote sustainable development and cooperation.
Keywords: European integration vector, European strategic partnership, Eastern Partnership, challenges of European integration, European Union security strategy, European Neighbourhood Policy, "privileged partnership", catalyst for EU change, differentiated integration, opportunities for European integration partnership
