The scientist analyzes modern Ukrainian land, mining, and environmental legislation related to reclamation legal relations. The international legal experience of legislative support for the reclamation of land plots affected by mineral extraction is also studied, namely in EU countries, and it is proposed to borrow the development and adoption of a nationwide program for soil protection and reclamation at the state level. It is such a regulatory and legal document in the form of an international agreement between the USA and Ukraine that will be able to ensure the priority of environmental safety requirements and the rational use and protection of lands by the provisions of land legislation and the goals of sustainable development of Ukraine in the future after the reconstruction of our state.
