The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of the war in Ukraine on the state of agriculture and the economy of the country in general. The general scientific and special methods were used to achieve the goal: synchronous and diachronic, logical, analysis and synthesis, dialectical, scientific abstraction, and comparative analysis. As a result, it was identified that the economy of Ukraine largely depends on agricultural production, but because of the war, the agricultural sector suffers huge losses. The indicators of total exports of Ukraine have almost halved in comparison with the pre-war period, agricultural land and uncollected crop become half of the entire structure of damage in agriculture, and due to constant hostilities, it is impossible to purchase feed and provide veterinary services to farm animals, as a result of which they die. In addition, the difficult economic state of agricultural production is also associated with a decrease in agricultural productivity, violation of crop cultivation technologies, recoupment of territories, lack of funds and human resources, and constant military operations, as a result of which the agricultural infrastructure has experienced unprecedented destruction. These reasons affect the internal and foreign markets, which is of great importance in ensuring world food security.

Highlights
