Abstract

The article examines the state of development of economic ties between Ukraine and Scandinavian countries in such areas as: trade, investment activity, security, humanitarian and financial support of Ukraine, cooperation in other areas. Ukraine imports a fairly wide range of goods from the Scandinavian countries (from land transport, pharmaceutical products, electronics to food and paper), investment activity is quite moderate, the most important thing for Ukraine is the support from the Scandinavian countries in terms of financial support for humanitarian and military projects. projects in the field of energy. The second chapter offers possible directions for deepening cooperation between Ukraine and the Scandinavian countries for reconstruction in the post-war period. In our opinion, the formation of a new economic landscape in Ukraine, in the logic of state leadership (according to the Scandinavian principle), requires the development of a long-term Program for the development of the real sector of the economy (drawn up with the involvement of specialists from the countries of the Northern European Union), which should become a key guiding document for the development of the production activities of state and private enterprises in the post-war period. The following are the components that could become a support for the development of the economy of Ukraine, subject to the involvement of experience, technologies, finances and equipment received from the countries of the Northern European Union: development of the energy sector; development of elements of the closed cycle economy; development of agriculture, forestry and marine industry; infrastructure development; development of human capital. Taking into account the significant level of lag behind Ukraine from developed countries, in practically all spheres of the economy, the countries of the Northern European Union have the potential to provide a powerful scientific and resource base to provide not only consulting support on the formation of a socially-oriented advanced economic model, but also on issues related to economic development, subject to the preservation of the environment and the need to adapt to climate change.
