UKRAINE’S EXPORTS IN CONDITIONS OF MARTIAL LAW: PROBLEMS AND WAYS OF SOLUTION

Abstract

Introduction. Russia’s full-scale military aggression against Ukraine is accompanied by the total destruction of the national economy due to the destruction of production and logistics infrastructure, existing economic ties, and the blocking of exports. Therefore, ways to solve Ukraine's export problems under martial law need thorough research. Methods. A number of methods were used in the course of the research. Comparative analysis was used to compare exports of goods before and after the war; the monographic method was used in the review of government policy on regulating the export of a number of agricultural products of Ukraine, as well as customs clearance of exports of goods; dialectical, abstract and logical methods were used to substantiate the conclusions. Results. The scale of losses in Ukraine’s economy caused by the blockade of export operations as a result of Russia’s full-scale aggression were analysed in the article. The risks of the global food crisis and global famine due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine were outlined. Alternative corridors for the export of Ukrainian products were identified. The government’s policy on regulating the export of a number of agricultural products in order to prevent the food crisis directly in Ukraine and meet the consumer needs of the population, as well as customs clearance of exports of goods were reviewed. Measures to support Ukraine’s foreign economic activity by partner countries and the EU were highlighted. Discussion. Prospects for further research in this area are to further substantiate the possibilities of restoring Ukraine’s export potential.
