Problem setting. Today, the need for rapid modernization of the country, achieving stable and significant economic growth, effective counteraction to external aggression, successful promotion of the process of European integration require a high level of social consolidation. Now in Ukraine exists rather stable public consensus on the democratic "rules of the game" in political competitions But prospects of further rallying of Ukrainian society is significantly hindered by such factors as large cultural and value differences between the regions, too high level of socio-economic fragmentation, as well as populist elements of political culture. The purpose of this paper is to identify the main potential factors for the consolidation of Ukrainian society in the various spheres of its functioning in their interconnection and interplay. Recent research and publications analysis. A general analysis of the problem of social consolidation has been made in the works of Y. Polischuk, O. Kryvitska, O. Petukhova, H. Lutsyshyn, A. Ovcharov, O. Mayborody, O. Pashkova and other researchers. The foreign policy aspects of the problem of social consolidation in Ukraine were analyzed by A. Pavko, Y. Tirkus, E. Magda, H. Lutyshyn. The influence of international organizations on the consolidation of Ukrainian citizens was covered by M. Zolkina and L. Khizhnyak. The relationship between national/ethnic factor and social consolidation has been analyzed by A. Kolodiy, O. Orzhel, N. Pidberezhnik.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. An important component of the issue covered by this article is the question of the interconnection and correlation of value-cultural, political and socio-economic factors of consolidation of Ukrainian society.The purpose of the article is to identify the main potential factors for the consolidation of Ukrainian society in such dimensions as value-cultural and closely related regional, socio-economic, political, etc.Paper main body. Until now the biggest obstacle to the consolidation of society were cultural differences between Ukrainian regions that for a long time defined the main "agenda" of political struggle in Ukraine. Reducing the deconsolidating influence of cultural differences between regions of Ukraine is possible by the implementation of such a model of cultural development of Ukraine, which, by creating the most favorable opportunities for the affirmation and development of the Ukrainian language and culture, would at the same time allow to integrate into the national cultural space cultural achievements of all national minorities, to combine a considerable level of linguistic and cultural pluralism with the fundamental cultural integrity of the country. Its important component should be a "overethnic" societal culture – a measure of cultural unity, based on the Ukrainian cultural core, common to representatives of different cultural groups, cultural and social standards that guide the activities and determine the nature of major social institutions.A necessary component of forming a common and stable national cultural space in a multicultural/multiethnic society is also inter-ethnic socialization based on nurturing a positive and open attitude to "others" ethnic cultural elements.In the conditions of a property differentiation of a society inevitable for a market economy, an important factor of its consolidation should be the formation in the country of socio-economic interest common to the overwhelming majority of citizens , the state's efforts to ensure inclusive economic growth. The reduction of the level of corruption and "shadow economy" are able to ensure a significant increase in social expenditures of the state without increasing the tax burden, and thus contribute to reducing inequalities and promoting social cohesion of society.Positive impact on the level of consolidation of Ukrainian society has the activity of international organizations that promote the establishment in Ukraine of high modern standards of democratic public administration, civil society development, economic reforms.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. The cultural policy aimed at integration around the Ukrainian ethnic "core", distinctive components of contemporary Ukrainian culture, establishing a balance between the fair interests of the Ukrainian majority and the rights of ethnic and cultural minorities could be the factor of social and political consolidation in Ukraine.The implementation of such a policy is only possible on the way of improvement of the democratic baces of political activity, and should be an organic component in promoting the process of European integration, effective implementation within the country of the necessary reforms. In this context, the factors of social consolidation are the development of civil society in Ukraine, cooperation with international organizations that assist our country in carrying out reforms, and constructive settlement of problematic issues in relations with Ukraine's western neighbors.Implementation of an inclusive socio-economic policy aimed at forming a common economic interest for all citizens, effective fight against corruption will contribute to reducing in Ukraine the degree of inequality in the distribution of national wealth and therefore reducing political radicalism and populism. ; Проаналізовано низку основних потенційних чинників консолідації українського суспільства, що повинні сприяти його згуртуванню задля відповіді на виклики, пов'язані із завданнями модернізації, євроінтеграції та протидії гібридній агресії Російської Федерації (далі – РФ). Показано, що зменшення деконсолідуючого впливу ціннісно-культурних відмінностей між регіонами України можливе через реалізацію культурної політики, орієнтованої на інтеграцію навколо українського ядра широкого спектру різних культурних елементів, на основі балансу потреб розвитку української культури й мови та забезпечення прав етнічних меншин. Доведено, що важливим чинником консолідації має бути зміцнення та вдосконалення демократичних засад політичної діяльності, а також реалізація інклюзивної соціально-економічної політики, спрямованої на формування єдиного для усіх громадян економічного інтересу, вирівнювання стартових можливостей та ефективну роботу "соціальних ліфтів". Зазначено, що потенціал позитивного впливу на рівень консолідації українського суспільства має просування євроінтеграційних процесів, ефективна реалізація усередині країни необхідних для цього реформ, розвиток громадянського суспільства. Зауважено, що чинником консолідації є співпраця із міжнародними урядовими та неурядовими організаціями, конструктивне врегулювання проблемних питань взаємин із західними сусідами України.

The political dialogue within the framework of the Association Agreement allows the leaders of Ukraine and the EU to agree and coordinate approaches to strengthen the political association and economic integration of Kiev and Brussels, to jointly respond to strategic challenges in conditions of dynamic changes at the global and regional levels. The results of the political dialogue were the ratification and entry into force of the Association Agreement, the EU diplomatic support against the aggression of Russia, the free trade zone between Ukraine and the EU, the free-trade area between Ukraine and the EU, a visa-free regime, and important steps to overcome Ukraine's energy dependence on the Russian Federation. As a result of the implementation of the Association Agreement, over the last 4 years Ukraine implemented more reforms than for the previous 20 ones.Corruption, the dominance of the oligarchy in Ukraine, ineffective reforms and cosmetic changes in the Ukrainian state, Russian aggression, the lack of a firm EU position on the European perspective of Ukraine and sanctions against Russia, refusal to provide Ukraine with military and financial assistance, ignorance of the situation of Ukraine, which leads the "hybrid war" with Russia, disappointment of the people caused by the significant drop in their standard of living after the Revolution of Dignity, as well as the war fatigue are the problems which may become an obstacle to the realization of the political association between Ukraine and the EU.
