Since their independence from the Soviet Union, both countries consider each other as strategic partners and have forged close political and cultural relations. During the Shevardnadze era, the Georgian government maintained its close relations with Ukraine. In April 1993, Georgia and Ukraine signed 20 documents, including a treaty on friendship and cooperation.[{{cite web |title=Ukraine and Georgia form common front against Russia|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1993/04/13/Ukraine-and-Georgia-form-common-front-against-Russia/1653734673600/|publisher=UPI|date=13 April 1993}}] However, the relationship has further enhanced after Rose Revolution in Georgia and Orange Revolution in Ukraine. During the Orange Revolutions, many Georgians rallied in Kyiv in support of Viktor Yushchenko. Both countries maintain pro-western political orientation and aspire to join NATO and the European Union.
The close friendship between Presidents Mikheil Saakashvili and Viktor Yushchenko has also played an important role in recent political and cultural unity of the two countries. However, the cultural and political unity between two nations existed long ago. There are many cultural events in both courtiers, celebrating close relations between Georgian and Ukrainian people. In 2007, Georgians unveiled a statue to Taras Shevchenko in Tbilisi while Ukrainians erected the statue of Georgia's epic poet Shota Rustaveli in Kyiv. |

- Poland was the first country in the world to recognize Ukrainian independence. The relations have been improving since, with Poland and Ukraine forming a strong strategic partnership.
[Zajączkowski, 2005.] Various controversies from their shared history occasionally resurface in Polish–Ukrainian relations, but they do not have a major influence on the bilateral relations of Poland and Ukraine.[Copsey, 2006.]
Both countries share a border of about 529 km.[{{in lang|pl}} [http://www.prezydent.pl/x.node?id=44 Informacje o Polsce – informacje ogólne] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090625210208/http://www.prezydent.pl/x.node?id=44 |date=June 25, 2009 }}. Page gives Polish PWN Encyklopedia as a reference.] Poland's acceptance of the Schengen Agreement created problems with the Ukrainian border traffic. On July 1, 2009, an agreement on local border traffic between the two country's came into effect. This agreement enables Ukrainian citizens living in border regions to cross the Polish frontier according to a liberalized procedure.[[http://www.ukranews.com/eng/article/206766.html Local Border Traffic Agreement With Poland Takes Effect] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20130105042557/http://www.ukranews.com/eng/article/206766.html |date=2013-01-05 }}, Ukrainian News Agency (July 1, 2009)] |

Established relations in February 14, 1992 Russia formerly had an embassy in Kyiv and consulates in Kharkiv, Lviv, Odesa and Simferopol. Ukraine had an embassy in Moscow and consulates in Rostov-on-Don, Saint Petersburg, Tyumen and Vladivostok. Relations between the two country's governments have been unfriendly since the presidency of Leonid Kuchma expired. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin allegedly declared at a NATO–Russia summit in 2008 that if Ukraine would join NATO his country could contend to annex the Ukrainian East and Crimea. Some analysts believe that the current Russian leadership is determined to prevent a Russian equivalent of the Ukrainian Orange Revolution in Russia. This mindset is supposed to explain not only Russian domestic policy but its sensitivity over events abroad as well.[[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7274687.stm "Russia: World watching for any change"], BBC News (March 3, 2008)]
Many in Ukraine and beyond believe that Russia has periodically used its vast energy resources to bully its smaller, dependent neighbour, but the Russian Government argues instead that it is internal squabbling amongst Ukraine's political elite that is to blame for the deadlock.[[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7817536.stm "The rifts behind Europe's gas row"], BBC News (January 8, 2009)] Later, Putin stated that the government of the Russian Federation respects the sovereignty of Ukraine, while several Russian parliamentarians as well some governors were urging the liquidation of Ukraine.
Starting in November 2013, the decision by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to back out of signing an integration agreement with the European Union started a period of civil unrest between Ukrainians who favored integration with the European Union and those who wanted closer ties with Russia, culminating in the Revolution of Dignity. Russia took advantage of this political instability to annex Crimea in March 2014, though Ukraine still claims sovereignty over the territory. Russia has also allegedly supported separatist forces in the war in Donbas. In December 2015, Russian hackers reportedly hacked Ukraine's power grids leading to a blackout and widespread terror. On 24 February 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine, which prompted Ukraine to break diplomatic ties with the country.[{{cite web|title=Ukraine breaks off diplomatic ties with Russia|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/ukraine-breaks-off-diplomatic-ties-with-russia/|access-date=2022-02-24|website=The Times of Israel|language=en-US}}][{{cite web|agency=Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine |title=Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Regarding the Severance of Diplomatic Relations with the Russian Federation|url=https://mfa.gov.ua/en/news/statement-ministry-foreign-affairs-ukraine-regarding-severance-diplomatic-relations-russian-federation|access-date=2022-02-24|website=mfa.gov.ua|language=en|archive-date=2022-02-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220224141619/https://mfa.gov.ua/en/news/statement-ministry-foreign-affairs-ukraine-regarding-severance-diplomatic-relations-russian-federation|url-status=dead}}] |
