Incorporation of North Atlantic Alliance standards into domestic legislation, that governs relations in the security and defense sector is one of the key requirements for Ukraine to obtain a NATO Membership Action Plan and further deepen Euro-Atlantic integration with a view to acquiring Alliance membership. An Important condition for these tasks is the implementation of NATO standards and procedures in the legislation governing military education. In the process of standardizing and achieving the state of compatibility of the security and defense sector of Ukraine with the relevant NATO forces, the specificity of the application of standards in improving the system of training specialists for the Security Service of Ukraine should be highlighted separately. According to this development course, military education today includes formal and informal (general training) components, and the improvement of professional competence (special training). Professional training of military specialist according to NATO standards is carried out at the appropriate levels of management: operational, tactical, strategic. It remains compulsory for officers to have received a higher education in the relevant educational programs. Taking into account the specific nature of the professional activities of the members of the special service, the tasks assigned to them and the functions performed for that purpose, namely, countering intelligence and subversive activities, combating terrorism, counter-intelligence and defending national statehood, Ensuring the security of the State in cyberspace, etc., the training system for the Security Service may be differentiated according to its functional direction and institutionalized in the military education system or outside it. At the same time, an important basis for the development of the educational component in the Security Service of Ukraine will remain the recruitment of teaching staff from among persons with practical experience. Despite the format of the model chosen, training for ...

The article highlights the obtained results on conducting an institutional audit of the professional military education system in educational institutions of the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The directions of further development of institutional audit mechanisms for evaluation of professional military education quality on the way to achieving compatibility of training processes according to NATO standards were substantiated. The results of the experiment confirm that institutional audit is a common element on the way to achieve compatibility of personnel training processes on NATO quality principles. The authors of the article use a system of general scientific and special methods of theoretical and empirical research (systematization, generalization, systematic approach) and methods of expert evaluation.

The research relevance is determined by the need for a deep understanding of Public Affairs strategies in modern military conflicts, where the information space becomes an arena of struggle no less important than the battlefield itself. In the context of the growing role of media and information technology, the effective implementation of Public Affairs can determine the success of military operations and the formation of public opinion. The study aims to analyse current approaches to Public Affairs in the military sphere, with a focus on the experience of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the implementation of NATO standards, to identify effective strategies and methodologies in this area. The methodological basis of the study is based on the following methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalisation, classification, and systematisation. The results of the study include a review of regulations, organisational structure, means and methods of Public Affairs used in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO countries. Analysis of the challenges and problems faced by Public Affairs professionals in the current conditions of hybrid warfare, as well as the prospects for the development of this area of activity in the context of strengthening the information security of the state, is given special attention. The author emphasises the importance of integrating Public Affairs into the overall system of Strategic Communications in the structure of military command and the need to ensure the active participation of Public Affairs Officers in the planning and implementation of military operations. The importance of developing the professional skills of Public Affairs professionals and using the latest information and communication technologies to improve the effectiveness of Strategic Communications is emphasised. The practical significance of the study is due to its contribution to the development of approaches and standards for the implementation of effective Public Affairs in the context of military operations, identification of problems and challenges in this area, recommendations for developing the skills of specialists and improving the level of information security of the state

The aim of the article is to analyze the implementation of NATO standards through the development of naval education in Romania and Ukraine in the 21st century. It is outlined that the achievement of this goal was carried out using research methods: theoretical methods (analysis and synthesis; abstraction; concretization) which allowed to explain, interpret the obtained practical knowledge, as well as empirical methods (observation, generalization, analysis), which allowed to accumulate, record, to classify and generalize the received practical material. It is determined that the scientific novelty of the article is that for the first time the issue of implementation of NATO standards is considered by analyzing the development of naval education in Romania and Ukraine in the XXI century. The study notes that thanks to Romania's highly efficient higher education system and high academic standards, doubled its diverse opportunities for education and employment, Romania is becoming an attractive destination for international students. The training of Navy officers in higher education institutions is characterized by a number of characteristics that determine the relevance of developing the problem of forming readiness for professional activity. The study concludes that intergovernmental agreements are important, which determine the legal basis for military-technical, practical, educational cooperation between the two countries, which simplifies the procedure for implementing state measures in relevant areas, as well as expands the partnership between Ukraine and Romania, aimed at strengthening security in the Black Sea region. The implementation of NATO standards through the development of naval education in Romania and Ukraine in the 21st century is possible on the basis of direct practical training of higher education seekers. Prospects for further exploration are to outline the conditions for the development of naval education through Ukraine's cooperation with other NATO member countries in the Black Sea region.
