The article is devoted to the analysis of possibilities and means of recognition of
Ukrainian judgments in the EU member states, which do not have agreements on legal aid with
Ukraine, and consequently do not have the reciprocity principle fixed in writing. On the
examples of Sweden, UK, Germany and the Netherlands the normative regulation allowing to
enforce Ukrainian judgments is analyzed. As a result of the research, two types of means of
recognition are distinguished: direct and indirect
