Abstract :This article provides an analysis of the EU\\\'s collective response to Russia\\\'s foreign policy, particularly in the context of Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. This article uses the qualitative descriptive research method. The ongoing developments reflect a significant shift in the EU\\\'s view of relations with Russia, transitioning from the concept of strategic partnership to a more assertive framework of strategic competition. This transformation became sharper with Russia\\\'s annexation of Crimea in 2014, and reached its peak during the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. This article highlights aspects of the development of norms and values in the EU\\\'s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) in response to Russia\\\'s aggressive policy, as well as their impact on strengthening EU institutionalism as a global player. Using a normative institutionalism approach, this article shows that the norms held by the EU, such as peace, democracy, and human rights, play a key role in forming the basis for strengthening EU institutions in the implementation of the CFSP. This collective response not only reflects the EU\\\'s stance towards Russia, but also has a significant impact on the evolution of the dynamics of EU institutionalism itself.
