The article sets out that the scale of the shadow sector in Ukraine and the development of corruption in its various facets is currently one of the key factors impeding the successful development of our country, its full integration into the global economic space and its entry into the European Union. In light of the recent efforts toward increasing Euro-integration by Ukraine, the problems of transfrontier cooperation including the factors behind its effectiveness, are increasingly topical. The article investigates the specificities of the development of corrupt processes in modern Ukrainian economy, the effects of its destructive influence on transfrontier cooperation and Euro-integration. The importance of this problem is indicated by the deep systemic economic and social conflicts in the development of Ukrainian society at the current stage. The article identifies and sets out the causes for the development of and the forms of corrupt/shadow relationships, as well as putting forward an algorithm for the reduction of shadow economic relationships, with the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of cross-border cooperation. The analysis allows us to conclude that corruption-shadow relations are systemic problems of national economy development, which are not only a threat to national security, but also create a multiplicative negative impact on socio-economic system of society. On an international level, Ukraine has acquired a reputation of an extremely corrupt country, as confirmed by the high corruption ratings it attracts. Corrupt economic relations do not come out of the blue; they are a reflection of the deformation of socio-economic systems in society. The growth of corruption causes real harm to the economy of the country, negatively impacts the social atmosphere, undermines economic security and damages the country’s image abroad, thereby making it less competitive in the global market.
