NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is a military alliance established in 1949 for mutual defense against aggression. It consists of 30 member countries from North America and Europe.
The EU Commission President leads the European Commission, which is the executive branch of the European Union. This role involves proposing legislation, implementing decisions, and managing the EU's day-to-day operations.
Ukraine plays a crucial role in international relations, particularly in Eastern Europe, due to its strategic location, resources, and ongoing conflicts that impact regional stability and security.
