Abstract: Article 51 of the UN charter affirms that it is the natural and fundamental right of all nations to select and put in place their security measures, and to be able to freely choose or modify their security arrangements, such as alliances and treaties. After Ukraine regained its independence in 1991, formal relations between Ukraine and NATO were established in 1992 with Ukraine's membership in the North Atlantic Cooperation Council, which was later, renamed the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council. Through qualitative analysis this research paper examines the Ukraine-NATO Partnership in the context of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, seeking to understand the challenges and opportunities it presents. Two hypotheses are put forth: first, that the partnership has evolved and strengthened, reflecting NATO's commitment to deterring Russian aggression and promoting regional stability; and second, that internal divisions within NATO member states continue to hinder the partnership's full potential. It delves into the challenges and opportunities that arise from this partnership, considering the geopolitical implications and security concerns for both parties. This study further examines the implications of classical realism for current regional stability and security challenges in international relations. Overall it suggests that partnerships are still essential to maintaining regional stability and security.
