Abstract

Objective. In the conditions of challenges to the existence of Ukraine as a state and the need to reform almost all spheres of life in Ukraine, the public danger of corruption offenses cause contempt and mutual distrust of people and power structures, which poses a threat to the national security of Ukraine and makes it impossible to develop a dialogue regarding the necessary measures to modernize social relations on the way of European integration of Ukraine. This requires a systematic analysis of the state of implementation of the anti-corruption policy in Ukraine and justification of the ways of fighting against corruption in the war conditions and in the post-war period. Methods. The following methods of scientific research were used: methods of analysis, synthesis and formalization; system-structural analysis; abstract-logical method for making theoretical generalizations and formulating of research conclusions. Results. Despite the fact that over the last decade, Ukraine has risen in the rating of corruption perceptions (Corruption Perceptions Index), calculated by the experts of Transparency International, due to declarative actions to build an anti-corruption system, it remains the second most corrupt country in Europe after the state sponsor of terrorism � the Russian Federation. The high level of corruption in the daily life of Ukrainian society, business, public administration and politicians questions the perspectives of Ukraine's post-war reconstruction, because the increasing competitiveness and maintaining competitive advantages largely depends on the effectiveness of the used organizational mechanism for managing the country's global competitiveness. Scientific novelty. As a result of insufficient attention of civil society to corruption during the Russian-Ukrainian war, the level and the spectrum of corruption risks in Ukraine is increasing, and such processes entail the problems of the appearance of additional corruption risks after the end of war, which can be summarized in the following directions: problems of effective implementation of reconstruction programs, growth of the political weight of public administration institutions and their capture of the most part of information space, non-transparent distribution of humanitarian aid, lack of political will, established models of pre-war and wartime corruption, weak rule of law and tolerant attitude of Ukrainian society to manifestations of corruption. Practical significance. From the point of view of the growth of corruption risks with the beginning of the active phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war, as evidenced by corruption scandals in the Office of the President of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine and a number of regional state administrations, the repressive side of anti-corruption policy should be significantly strengthened. It is expedient for Ukraine to focus its main attention on the creation of a reliable infrastructure for the effective distribution and use of foreign aid for those layers of the population and military forces that need it most of all. Keywords: public administration; local-self government; anti-corruption policy; corruption; Index of perception of corruption; anti-corruption institutions.
