STATE ASSISTANCE IN SUPPORTING ENTERPRISES DURING MARTIAL LAW

Abstract

The Russian-Ukrainian war, unleashed by the russian federation in 2014, caused destabilization of the development of the regions: the occupation of the Crimea and hostilities in certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions as well as led to economic decline due to the loss of control over the part of the territory and its economic potential. During the last eight years, the Ukrainian economy and the Ukrainian people got used to the state of hybrid warfare to have become a significant factor in the gradual changes in the development of entrepreneurship in the country. On February 24, 2022, russia launched a full-scale and unprecedented war against Ukraine, which harmed people, infrastructure, and caused a devastating impact on Ukraine’s economy. At the same time, the work of Ukrainian entrepreneurship during the war is a particularly important source of filling the state budget and creating jobs. Therefore, the development and implementation of a well-founded and effective state policy of supporting the development of entrepreneurship in order to create favorable conditions for its organization and management are currently particularly relevant for Ukraine. Taking into account the above, the article is dedicated to the study of programs of state support and stimulation of the development of entrepreneurship adopted by the government in terms of war. On the basis of the conducted research, it is substantiated that state support must be understood as state regulation of entrepreneurial activity, which involves the conscious formation by state structures of appropriate direct and indirect tools to support entrepreneurship.
