ENSURING THE FUNCTIONING OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY IN TERMS OF MILITARY AND POLITICAL THREATS

The article explores the theoretical and applied aspects of ensuring the uninterrupted functioning of the national economy amid escalating military and political threats that increasingly affect the stability of internal economic processes. Based on the case of Ukraine under full-scale war, it is substantiated that traditional models of economic development require critical reassessment and adaptation to extraordinary circumstances. In such conditions, the primary priorities shift toward preserving vital economic sectors, maintaining defense capabilities, supporting social stability, and ensuring resilience of the economy during prolonged periods of uncertainty. The study systematizes the spectrum of threats arising from military actions, including the destruction of production and logistics infrastructure, mass population displacement, loss of labor potential, decline in investment attractiveness, destabilization of the financial system, increased budgetary pressure, rising inflationary risks, and weakening of international economic relations. Key directions of economic security policy are identified to ensure effective responses to wartime challenges and to lay the foundation for post-crisis economic recovery. In particular, the article examines mechanisms for preserving and reorganizing critical infrastructure, stimulating production in strategic sectors (especially the defense-industrial complex), supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, promoting digital transformation of public administration, and attracting international technical and financial assistance. Special attention is paid to the necessity of transitioning to an adaptive economic model capable of functioning effectively under martial law, applying elements of emergency regulation, forming national reserves, maintaining financial stability, and building backup supply chains. Institutional cooperation between the state, the private sector, and security forces is emphasized as a crucial component, which must be grounded in a long-term resilience strategy. The study concludes that preserving the country’s economic subjectivity under conditions of high-risk turbulence requires a synergy of military-economic, innovative, and socially oriented policies. This synergy enables the preservation of core economic structures and the creation of a solid foundation for post-war recovery.
