Abstract

The invasion carried out by Russia against Ukraine since 2022 has violated international norms and brought a security threat to the European region. The United Kingdom, as one of the countries in the European region, responded strongly by providing full support for Ukraine as the top priority of its foreign policy. The purpose of this study is to find out the motives and determinants behind the United Kingdom's foreign policy in providing support to Ukraine in the 2022-2023 Russia-Ukraine conflict. This study uses a qualitative method with an analytical descriptive type. The data collection technique through literature study with data analysis is to summarize and compile the data obtained, present the data and draw conclusions. The researcher uses a Neorealism approach with the concept of national interest and the concept of foreign policy to analyze the focus of the research problem. The results of this study explain that the United Kingdom's foreign policy is influenced by foreign determinants and domestic determinants, the two determinants influence the United Kingdom's decision to shape its foreign policy towards Ukraine. This is reflected through the consistency of strong support for Ukraine by considering external and internal factors of the United Kingdom. So that it is possible for the United Kingdom to take a firm and stable stance in the conflict.
