Abstract
The Russian Federation's armed aggression has had a negative impact on the development of the Ukrainian economy. Today, the economy requires a comprehensive reboot and renewal, particularly given Ukraine's move towards EU membership. Post-war recovery of the Ukrainian economy requires a balanced strategy in line with EU principles and standards, as well as strong international financial support. The gradual integration of Ukraine into the EU is expected to generate new opportunities for the state and contribute to its economic growth. The subject of scientific research is the features and trends of Ukraine's post-war economic recovery in the context of European integration. The objective of the scientific research is to ascertain the present state and future prospects of Ukraine's post-war economic recovery in the context of EU integration. The article employs various general scientific methods, including analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction and systemic analysis. It is suggested that, to ensure the effective post-war recovery of Ukraine's economy, an appropriate strategy should be adopted in the form of a legally binding document. This document must consider all significant aspects of the country's economic development following the cessation of hostilities, with a view to accelerating its integration into the EU. The process of post-war economic recovery in Ukraine is a multifaceted and intricate undertaking. It should be focused on achieving three fundamental objectives: firstly, the comprehensive restructuring of the Ukrainian economy; secondly, the development of high-tech production; and thirdly, the stimulation of innovation. In the aftermath of the war with Russia, it is anticipated that Ukraine will transition to an industrial-innovative economic model. The implementation of its environmental component is of great importance for post-war economic recovery. The transition to a "green economy" is expected to ensure Ukraine's economic efficiency and competitiveness in European and global markets. It is anticipated that this initiative will facilitate the harmonious development of pivotal economic sectors, thereby enhancing the quality of life for the populace. The findings of scientific research provide a general indication of the manner in which Ukraine's post-war economic recovery should be conducted following the cessation of hostilities with Russia.
