Abstract
This article explores the transformation of Ukraine’s public governance priorities in ensuring the protection and resilience of persons forcibly displaced within the country as a result of the full-scale armed conflict. The study addresses the urgent need for a comprehensive policy response to large-scale internal displacement, which has become a critical challenge for social stability and national resilience. The research applies general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction) alongside special legal methods, including comparative legal and normative analysis. These methods make it possible to assess the existing regulatory framework and institutional mechanisms governing humanitarian responses to internal displacement. The findings demonstrate that effective policy responses must move beyond emergency assistance toward integrated and long-term solutions. Priority directions include strengthening legal regulation, ensuring equitable access to education, healthcare, and employment, expanding psychosocial support, enhancing local-level institutional capacity, and fostering cooperation with international and non-governmental actors. The study also identifies persistent challenges, such as limited financial resources, administrative barriers, uneven service provision, and risks of social exclusion. The article concludes that addressing internal displacement requires a human-centered, cross-sectoral policy model aimed at sustainable integration and long-term societal resilience. The results may be used to improve public strategies and institutional practices in the context of recovery and reconstruction.
