Unlocking Innovation Capacity: Strategies for Micro-, Small, and Medium Enterprises in Ukrainian Agriculture

Innovation is a crucial driver of competitiveness and development of enterprises. Access to innovation is influenced by a multitude of factors, including, among others, an enterprise’s strategy, operation efficiency, and the availability of resources. Middle, small, and micro-enterprises (MSMEs) are pivotal to agricultural production, employment, and food security in Ukraine; however, innovative technologies have predominantly been accessible to large enterprises. The aim of this study is to examine the innovation capacity of MSMEs in the Ukrainian agricultural sector and to identify potential strategies for integrating them to improve access to and inclusion of innovative practices. This study undertakes a quantitative evaluation of the innovation capacity of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine for the years 2019–2022, the latter marking the onset of wartime conditions. A comprehensive framework comprising indicators across technological, resource, financial, managerial, and human capital dimensions was developed to assess the innovation capacity of these enterprises. Utilizing data normalization techniques, composite indicators that offer a unified measure of innovation capacity were derived. Our findings substantiate the Schumpeterian hypothesis within the Ukrainian agricultural sector, revealing that MSMEs exhibit significantly lower innovation capacity compared to their larger counterparts, which causes serious problems with access to innovation. This disparity is particularly pronounced in terms of resources and technological capabilities, whereas the gap in financial performance and managerial and human capital is not significant. Conclusively, the recommendations on strengthening the innovative capacity of agricultural MSMEs—based on integration strategies—have been developed.

THE MAIN WAYS OF IMPROVING THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM OF UKRAINE: ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL DIMENSION

In this article the author analyzes the content and conceptual characteristics of “social security” concept, the system of social security and the main ways of its improvement. It is emphasized that social infrastructure as a necessary condition for the full functioning of the socio-economic system is supported by a properly organized social security system. At the level of EU legislation, the “social security” concept is associated with all interventions by public or private organizations aimed at relieving households and individuals from the burden caused by certain types of risks or needs. At the conceptual and theoretical level, it can be concluded that social security is a set of measures and means of an organizational, legal and socio-economic nature carried out by public and/or private entities, in order to ensure the socially safe existence of a person as the highest social value and an integral element of social existence, by preventing, reducing or eliminating social risks, as well as meeting human needs in the social sphere. The structure of social security in Ukraine consists of the following elements: 1) social welfare – budgetary assistance to certain categories of population; 2) social insurance – assistance of non-budgetary structures to neutralize insurance cases; 3) state social guarantees – budgetary financing of enterprises aimed at compensating for the lost income; 4) social assistance. Three levels of the social security system in Ukraine are distinguished: institutional, law enforcement, of direct interaction. The article outlines current proposals on the ways to improve the social security system in Ukraine.

PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL COMPONENT OF MODERN ECOLOGICAL SAFETY

Environmental safety of objects, states and processes on the eve of the next qualitative leap in the structure and dynamics of science and production is considered in the context of a radical reorientation of scientific and technological progress. Paying attention to the social, political, economic and moral prerequisites of the globalization reorientation of society, attention is drawn to those opportunities that have appeared in society in modern times. The study of the phenomenon of environmental safety is structured in the work in such a way that a person no longer simply confronts the object as something external, but turns into a constituent part of the system that it changes. The work provides some basic parameters of the state of ecological security in Ukraine, including the period of war. Modern science and technology, which are the basis of technologies, including environmental protection, fragment the world in a fundamentally different way than in previous eras, bringing new types of objects into the orbit of human activity – complex self-developing systems with human participation. The study shows that the development of such systems is accompanied by passage through special states of instability (bifurcation); at these moments, influences lead to the emergence of new structures, levels of organization, transforming the previous ones. The course of evolution clearly shows that the promotion of bio-saving technologies takes place on a number of levels: low-waste technologies, environmentally friendly production, bioautonomous processes, rising by extrapolation to the degree of biosphere-compatible technologies or autotrophic production. In the given chain, each subsequent element cannot function without the previous one. And there is no reason to simplify the situation, believing that in the future production will be based exclusively on bioreproduction. it will probably contain elements of bioconservation, bioregeneration, and bioautonomy. It has been established that a person is subject to such influence as an object not only of the biosphere, but also of technology and the primary source of technogenic influence on the environment, which must be taken into account during the formation of the philosophical basis of the strategy of environmental security of society.

The Nova Kakhovka Dam Collapse as an Example of Russia’s Hybrid Warfare in Ukraine: A Threat to Environmental Security and Beyond?

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale war against Ukraine. On June 6, 2023, the Russian army blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam causing an ecological catastrophe that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy described as “ecocide” and addressed the international community to help to hold those responsible accountable for this monstrous crime. The main goal of this article is to explore the long-term results of the Kakhovka dam tragedy, which had an unmatched negative effect on environmental security in Ukraine, but is it limited only to ecology? Hypothesis in this paper states that the Kakhovka dam collapse caused a long-time negative impact on a number of non military security dimensions. The present article is divided into three parts. The first one presents the Russia-Ukraine war as a background, the next section explains reasons of the dam’s destruction and its short-term outcomes, whereas the final part analyzes the impact of the dam collapse on environmental security, as well as revises hypothesis by providing a list of its long term effects transcending the scope of environmental security. The study proves that the long lasting consequences of the Kakhovka dam collapse in Ukraine are not restricted to environmental security, but also apply to economic security, food security, energy security and even cultural security. In the conclusion, the author shares her opinion on the topic and policy recommendations. Methodology of this research is mostly based on a desk review of journalist English- and Ukrainian taught articles, several scientific elaborations, expert interviews and official information from the President Zelenskyy website. Since the Kakhovka dam collapse is a relatively recent event, the current research includes only a limited number of scientific elaborations.

PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION OF PARTNERSHIP RELATIONS BETWEEN BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT IN THE FIELD OF ENERGY SECURITY OF UKRAINE

The article is dedicated to the study of the principles of organizing partnership relations between the business and state in the field of energy security in Ukraine. The aim of this research is to develop a system of principles for effective partnership between business and government in the sphere of Ukraine’s energy security, based on the methodologies of developed countries. It has been determined that organizing partnership relations between the state and business requires a comprehensive approach based on joint responsibility, transparency, mutually beneficial cooperation, and innovative development. The application of a systemic approach allowed of the consideration of energy security as a multifactorial process encompassing political, economic, technical, and environmental aspects. This approach facilitated the identification of key elements of energy security and the interaction between business and government that affect the development of the energy sector. Systemic analysis enabled the consideration of energy security in Ukraine as a component of national security, as well as an assessment of the role of partnership between the state and business in this process. In particular, an analysis of energy threats, possible scenarios for the development of Ukraine’s energy sector, and potential ways to overcome them through collaboration between the state and the private sector was conducted. It has been substantiated that the main principles of interaction between the state and business in the field of energy security are as follows: the principle of transparency and openness; the principle of joint responsibility; the principle of mutually beneficial cooperation; the principle of sustainable development; the principle of legal regulation; the principle of innovation; the principle of cybersecurity; and the principle of adaptability. The implementation of these principles will ensure the resilience of the country’s energy system, promote investment in the renewable energy sector, and enhance national security as a whole. It has been revealed that each country has developed its own approaches to organizing partnerships between business and government in the field of security of energy, with its unique features in managing the energy sector depending on political, economic, and geographical factors. The success with which firms can unite efforts with the state and civil society organizations in forming an active social development strategy will depend on both their competitiveness and the effectiveness of the business itself. Some states are gradually losing the ability to independently shape their internal socio-economic policies, yielding to transnational corporations. The methodology of the research is based on a comprehensive approach that encompasses both theoretical and practical aspects of the interaction between business and government in the field of energy security in Ukraine. To achieve the research goals, a range of methods was employed that allow for the examination of partnership relations between the public and private sectors at various levels, as well as the exploration of their impact on the country’s energy security.

Through these measures, Ukraine can not only advance its national security objectives but also play a pivotal role in the broader European security landscape.

Forced migration in wartime: decision-making and trajectory

Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine has caused a new wave of mass forced migrants. We conducted in-depth interviews with Ukrainians forced to relocate to Finland, to understand the differences in their migration decision-making and migration trajectories. The study showed that there are two models of forced migration. The first one is spontaneous and fast, where respondents didn’t consider the positive and negative consequences of migration. The second one includes a longer process of decision-making: respondents considered mainly the characteristics of their household and the conditions in the country of residence. They were motivated by the loss of security in Ukraine, and the inability to find sources of income or provide education for their children. But there were also factors that made decision-making more difficult and longer. Specifically, the need to be separated from the family, the lack of access to information about the support system abroad, and the high risks to life during the journey (caused by the danger of leaving the occupied territory and lack of other trajectories except to go to Finland through Russia).

Ukraine’s water security under pressure: Climate change and wartime

Ukraine’s water resources depend on external water flow and are unevenly distributed across the country. Water security in Ukraine is threatened by climate-related risks, including droughts and floods, resulting in substantial economic losses. But the greatest risks to water security are posed by military operations. Russia’s occupation of the southeastern part of the territory of Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea in 2014, along with the start of a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, further worsened the state of Ukraine’s water resources. The destruction of the Kakhovka reservoir deprived Ukraine of 10% of its water resources, which were used to support the agricultural and industrial South of Ukraine. It has caused a loss of access to quality drinking water for 6 million people in Ukraine and more that 13 million people have a limited access to water for satisfying sanitary and hygienic needs. The continuation of the war will have multiple negative sustainability implications not only in Ukraine but also on a global scale, hampering the achievement of clean water and sanitation, conservation and sustainable use of water resources and energy, and food security.

Economic security of Ukraine in wartime: challenges and prospects

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has dramatically impacted the country’s economic security. This paper investigates the critical role of economic security within the broader framework of national security in Ukraine under wartime conditions. The study highlights the significant overlap between economic stability and national resilience while analyzing Ukraine’s current economic security model, detailing components such as financial, industrial, food, and energy security. The authors argue that legal and institutional reforms, alongside strategic efforts to enhance market competition, investment climate, and technological innovation, are crucial for sustaining economic growth amidst conflict. Additionally, the research draws parallels between Ukraine’s security framework and similar strategies in the EU countries and the United States, suggesting that a more integrated approach to economic and national security could bolster Ukraine’s long-term stability and global competitiveness. The authors, with their academic perspectives and expertise as law professors and enforcement officials, provide in-depth insights into the legal and institutional challenges faced by Ukraine in maintaining its economic security during wartime.

The article examines the issue of business economic security in the context of public policy, with a particular focus on the challenges faced by enterprises in Ukraine during the full-scale war. Business economic security is one of the key elements of the stable functioning of the national economy, as entrepreneurial activity serves as the foundation for economic growth, job creation, and state budget revenues. However, modern challenges such as war, inflation, currency fluctuations, political instability, and cyber threats jeopardize the stability of enterprises, emphasizing the importance of state intervention and support. The study analyzes the theoretical aspects of business economic security, including the concept of economic security, its main characteristics, and factors influencing the resilience of enterprises. The role of the state in ensuring economic security, particularly in wartime conditions when businesses suffer significant losses due to infrastructure destruction, asset loss, and production capacity damage, is also explored. The article pays special attention to analyzing the existing public policy mechanisms aimed at supporting business economic security in Ukraine. Legislative initiatives, regulatory tools, and institutional mechanisms used by the state to protect businesses from economic threats are reviewed. The article also highlights international approaches to shaping public policy in the field of economic security, which can be useful for improving national strategies. The authors consider the main threats to business economic security, including inflation, currency fluctuations, financial crises, political risks, war, international sanctions, as well as technological challenges and cyber threats. The war in Ukraine creates new economic and political risks that negatively affect the business environment, particularly through infrastructure destruction and loss of the workforce. The study proposes strategies and recommendations for enhancing business economic security in the context of war and economic crisis. In particular, it emphasizes the need to increase transparency and stability in public policy, develop partnerships between the state and business, and support innovative and technological initiatives. Implementing these recommendations will allow Ukrainian enterprises to better adapt to new challenges and minimize risks associated with economic instability. The article concludes by summarizing the key aspects of the study and stating that future research should focus on exploring new challenges related to post-war economic recovery and developing comprehensive strategies that will enable businesses to remain resilient and competitive in the face of both global and local crises.

Кримінальна відповідальність за злочини проти основ yаціональної безпеки: вітчизняний та зарубіжний досвід

The article deals with the issue of criminal liability for crimes against the foundations of national security on the example of domestic and foreign experience of certain countries. The author specifically analyzes the legislative regulation of criminal liability for crimes against national security in the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Estonia, Georgia, the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Poland, Switzerland, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the French Republic. The author suggests that there is a need for more in-depth research and improvement of the legal regulations regarding criminal liability for crimes against the foundations of national security in Ukraine. The article proposes resolving any inconsistencies between the title of Section I of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which is “Crimes against the Fundamentals of National Security of Ukraine”, and the content of the relevant articles included in it. This section should address criminal liability for all activities that threaten Ukraine’s national security. Therefore, the author recommends to include provisions for criminal liability related to the protection of state secrets, safeguarding critical infrastructure, expanding the scope of information security, imposing penalties for actions that aim to harm the state by an authorized person representing Ukraine in dealings with the leadership of a foreign state or organization, and establishing criminal liability for individuals who publicly insult the Ukrainian people or Ukraine.

CURRENT ISSUES OF ECONOMIC CRIME PREVENTION IN THE CONTEXT OF MARTIAL LAW IN UKRAINE

The research is devoted to the study of topical issues of economic crime prevention under martial law in Ukraine. The paper presents a systematic analysis of the state of research on topical issues of economic crime prevention and its methodological tools. The insufficient level of research into the problems of economic crime prevention and the validity of preventive measures has an extremely negative impact on society, especially in the difficult times of martial law in Ukraine. The urgency of the problem is also growing due to the long-overdue need to improve the legal acts regulating the prevention of economic crime. An analysis of the functioning of state bodies in recent years has shown that the defined national security and defence strategy does not fully ensure the compliance of Ukraine's security sector in a scientifically sound and practical sense. A study of the state and trends of economic crime has shown a sharp increase in the number of this type of criminal offence, especially fraud, under martial law. It is also established that a significant part of economic crime in Ukraine is latent crime, the main reasons for which are the reluctance of the victims (mostly due to circumstances beyond their control), and in most cases the inability to report the offence committed against them, mainly in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

DIRECTIONS OF IMPROVING THE LEGAL REGULATION OF NATIONAL SECURITY IN UKRAINE UNDER MARTIAL LAW

The article examines the legal regulation of national security in Ukraine. The author analyzed the concept of national security and its components. The article examines the system of normative legal acts in the field of ensuring national security, identifies the main shortcomings of legislation in this field. It was found that the legislation in the field of ensuring national security in Ukraine does not meet modern challenges and threats related to national security. It is argued that normative legal acts in the field of national security are not properly coordinated among themselves and contain a number of shortcomings, which negatively affects the level of ensuring national security. Based on the results of the research, conclusions were formulated and suggestions were made regarding the improvement of the legal regulation of national security in the conditions of martial law. It is suggested that in order to achieve a state of improvement and increase the effectiveness of the legal provision of national security in Ukraine, it is necessary to develop a systematized, logically connected and interconnected regulatory framework in this area, to agree on terminological concepts among themselves, and the powers of subjects of national security provision. This will help solve the difficult challenges facing the national security system and create a legal basis for its effective development. It is substantiated that the main goal of legal regulation of national security is the creation of a coherent and comprehensive state policy in the field of national security, which should be calculated both for today and for the future. Legislation in the field of national security must reflect modern challenges and threats and contain clear measures to counteract them, as well as contain effective mechanisms for the implementation of legislative prescriptions that apply not only to the subjects of the security and defense system, but also to all subjects of public relations, who may be involved in tasks related to ensuring national security.

Organic production in the context of ensuring food security of Ukraine

This review article analyzes the legal regulation of organic production in Ukraine. The steady growth and development of this market are indicated by: 1) an increase in the area of agricultural land allocated for organic production, 2) a rise in the number of domestic organic operators, and 3) the increasing volume of organic product exports to other countries. However, there is a need to implement a set of measures, including: improving legal support, developing the infrastructure of the organic products market, ensuring adequate state support, and enhancing the system of standardization and certification for the production, processing, storage, and transportation of organic products. Additionally, there is a need to introduce an effective system for controlling the sale of organic raw materials, their processing, and the sale of organic products. A fundamental rethinking of the concept of food security in Ukraine is also required, particularly to determine the priority directions for developing agrarian policy under martial law conditions and in the post-war period.

The system of subjects of administrative and legal support of information security in Ukraine

Based on the analysis of current legislation, available scientific, journalistic and methodological sources, the article clarifies the content of the system of subjects of administrative and legal support of information security in Ukraine. It is proposed that the system of subjects of administrative and legal support of information security should be understood as a set of legislative, executive and judicial authorities, state, public and other organizations and associations, and citizens who may participate in administrative and legal support of information security in accordance with the legislation regulating relations in the field of information security. It is established that the system of subjects of administrative and legal support of information security includes a wide range of structures of both state and non-state affiliation. The first group (state entities) is represented by the State represented by the President of Ukraine, legislative, executive and judicial bodies, which, having different competencies in the field of administrative and legal support of information security, perform key tasks and functions in it. The second group (non-state actors) can be divided into two subgroups. The first one includes society represented by legal entities, namely, commercial companies and non-governmental organizations (educational institutions, research institutes, research and analytical centers, etc.) The second group includes individuals (citizens) who may be directly involved in ensuring information security, represented by specialists, experts, information security consultants, etc. It is proposed to: include all non-state actors in the mechanism for implementing the goals and objectives of the Information Security Strategy; make the widest possible use of the capabilities of non-state actors in this area, and therefore intensify the involvement of citizens, public associations, organizations, etc. in solving the problem of information security; create an Interagency Commission on Information Security within the structure of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

Regulation of the insurance market as a factor of increasing the national financial security of Ukraine in the conditions of hybrid threats

The article provides an overview of the current state of the influence of hybrid threats on the development of the mechanism of regulation of insurance activity in the context of increasing national security in Ukraine. The hybrid impact on the country's economy and significant countermeasures are clearly identified. Weak points (dangers) and hybrid threats to the national financial security of Ukraine and society at the current stage are highlighted. It was determined that the full-scale invasion and hybrid threats had a negative impact on the financial services insurance market of Ukraine, but the dynamics of its slow development will be evident despite the listed threats. It has been proven that the process of regulation of the insurance market is of great importance in increasing the national financial stability in the socio-economic sector of the state, as well as the financial stability of its residents, which becomes a determining factor in increasing the national financial security of Ukraine in conditions of hybrid threats and requires improvement of the insurance market regulation mechanism in Ukraine

ASSESSMENT AND CURRENT TRENDS OF ENSURING FOOD SECURITY IN UKRAINE

The research on Ukraine's food security is of paramount importance, as it directly impacts the national agro-food systems. The article delves into the current state of internal food self-sufficiency in the Ukrainian population, conducting an analytical assessment of export-import transactions with agricultural raw materials and food products. The findings reveal a significant trend of increasing food exports in recent years, along with an evaluation of the export-import coverage for the main types of food products. Ukraine's place in the world rating of food security based on the Global Food Security Index was studied. The fundamental problems and reasons that determined Ukraine's decrease in the rating positions and the level of food security of its population were identified. In addition to the military conflict, Ukraine has a low economic availability of food products for the population and a low level of sustainability in the domestic agro-food system. Despite the war's consequences, the agricultural business remains one of the most profitable economic activities in Ukraine. This analysis of individual indicators of the effectiveness of the country's agrarian sector as a basis for ensuring food security underscores the sector's potential. The modern production structure of the main types of agricultural products by categories of producers was studied. The key trends accompanying ensuring food security in Ukraine under modern conditions are summarized. It was revealed that food security in the crop sector is achieved at the expense of the public sector agrarian formations, mainly at the expense of households in the livestock sector. Based on the average values ​​of the actual consumption indicators, the state of providing the population with the main types of food was analyzed. The results showed problematic aspects in providing the country's population with meat and dairy products, fish, fruits, berries, and grapes. The priority directions for ensuring and strengthening food security on a national scale are substantiated. Among the main ones, the following are highlighted: the need to implement sustainable farming and animal husbandry practices, further improvement of the food quality management and control system, protection of biodiversity of ecological agrosystems, optimization and reduction of value chains, increasing the level of social responsibility of food producers and consumers.

Prospects of organizational and legal provision of energy security of Ukraine in the conditions of modern geopolitical processes

The scientific article is devoted to one of the important objects of national security – energy security. The organizational and legal approaches to the regulation of energy security are singled out and certain aspects of state regulation of energy efficiency are outlined, taking into account modern geopolitical processes. The definition of energy security is formulated, its global nature is indicated, which determines its provision through the joint efforts of all countries of the world, taking into account the internal characteristics and needs of the industry. It was emphasized that energy security as an object of state policy in the conditions of armed aggression against Ukraine requires proper legal regulation and continuous coordinated state management influence in order to ensure the energy independence of the country and the stable operation of energy infrastructure facilities. The analysis of the legal provision of energy security in Ukraine allowed us to come to the conclusion about the ramifications of the legislation in the specified area, the lack of optimization and systematization of energy legislation, its conflict and tolerance for the monopoly position of energy market participants. In the conditions of the war in Ukraine, the main direction of legislative regulation of the energy market is the introduction of tax benefits, temporary special taxation regimes. It was concluded that the introduction of the Institute of the Authorized President of Ukraine on Energy Safety, the development of the Institute of Public Control in the specified field is considered a promising direction for improving the national institutional mechanism for ensuring energy security. Arguments are also given that the institutional and legal mechanisms for ensuring energy security should provide for: permanent strategic planning of the development of the energy sector; coordination of energy policy with other areas of state policy; elimination of illegal administrative influence on energy market participants; taking measures to improve energy efficiency; creation of conditions for the development of technological innovations in the field of functioning of the energy infrastructure; increasing the effectiveness of preventing cyber threats; taking measures to reduce the level of corruption and the influence of the political will of elites on the energy market of Ukraine, state deregulation and demonopolization of the energy resources market.

Legal regulation of economic security in Ukraine

It is indicated in a legal state, regulation of interaction between members of society, coordination of their interests and smoothing of conflicts arising between them and their associations is unthinkable without law. With the help of the influence of law on social relations, it is possible to order and regulate them in a civilized manner. In the sphere of achieving a state of security, the law allows you to set the limits of what is permitted, to determine the obligations and prohibitions in the behavior of the relevant subjects. Due to regulatory legal regulation, security receives a unique meaning that determines the final goal of its provision, connects it with national priorities and interests of each legal entity, preventing blurring of the understanding of the essential characteristics of the basic category «national security» and its derivatives. The conducted scientific analysis of the legal regulation of the economic security system of Ukraine made it possible to conclude that it has a complex and multifaceted nature, that is, it involves the creation of a complex of legal, economic and administrative-organizational mechanisms aimed at ensuring the rights of citizens and other subjects of economic activity to protect private property, economic freedom and unimpeded implementation of economic and other economic activities. It is pointed out that the state should implement the appropriate organizational and legal provision of economic security of Ukraine, aimed at increasing the investment attractiveness of the country, eliminating offenses in the economic sphere. The analysis of regulatory legal acts made it possible to single out the following shortcomings of the legal provision of economic security of Ukraine: complexity, vagueness and inconsistency of individual legislative norms, ambiguous interpretation in their application; inconsistency between developers and lack of system of legal acts regulating economic security. It was concluded that the presence of such shortcomings indicates the need to modify approaches to the formation of legal support for the economic security of the state, to make changes to the current legislation.
