Ukraine, the second largest country by area in Europe after Russia covering 603,550 square kilometers territory, is located in Eastern Europe with population of about 42.5 million.1 After getting independence in December 1, 1991, the fecundity of the country drew the world attention and turned the focal point of interest for the comity of world. Technologically, the outsized heavy industrial sector and the aerospace turned the country more significant. During the Cold War era, Ukraine could not maintained neutrality due it its geostrategic location. In 1994, Ukraine pinned itself with Common Wealth of Independence States (CIS) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The horrific events of 9/11 turn the world in new outlooks in general and reshaped the history of Ukraine in particular. The declining power of Russia gave a striking opportunity to Ukraine to line up with the West particularly to attach itself with the United State of America. In 2002, while improving the shining hour, Ukraine went a step forward to form military alliance with NATO bearing the name, “NATO Ukraine Action Plan”. However, Ukraine tried its best to secure permanent seat in NATO, but could not succeed. The political and social turmoil in Ukraine began in November 2013. President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych found itself in hot water when he decided to abandon an agreement with the EU. The unrest gave the president a chance to cultivated closer ties with Russia. Viktor soon announced laws to suppress the protesters which left dozens of people dead and injured while many others were arrested.
