Abstract
Purpose. The aim of the work is to analyze the current state of the humanitarian situation in Ukraine in the context of military aggression and develop ways to improve this situation by creating new and developing existing transport hubs, which are located both on the western border of the state and in central regions. Methodology. In the course of the study, methods of analysis and synthesis were used to study the available information regarding the current state and trends in the further development of logistics and humanitarian hubs both on the western border and in the middle of the country. Aggregation and intelligent analysis of information to determine promising directions for the development of the logistics network. Results. The uncertain situation that has developed in the work of seaports stimulates the state to search for alternative ways of exporting and importing raw materials and finished products. To address this issue, it is also advisable to develop a network of transport hubs near the western border. At the moment, 31 regional humanitarian aid hubs have been created in Ukraine, the leaders in terms of the number of hubs are the Zaporozhye region - 5 hubs, as well as Kyiv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions - 2 hubs each. The rest of the regions have 1 hub each. The number of hubs in the border areas remains insufficient, especially given the sharp change in the directions of the main cargo flows - grain cargo and metal. In particular, as of March 2022, the average daily need for transportation in the direction of the EU reaches 8,000 wagons per day, therefore, it is urgent to address the issue of developing both the existing system for replacing wagon bogies and creating additional transshipment infrastructure. Scientific novelty. The authors have aggregated and systematized information on the existing system of transport hubs to ensure the existing and future volumes of transportation of both humanitarian and industrial export-import cargo. Practical significance. The results obtained make it possible to lay a scientific basis for the concept of creating and developing a system of humanitarian and logistics hubs to improve the efficiency of moving cargo flows.
