Formation of environmental limitations on economic development of Ukraine during martial arts

Abstract

Under martial law, Ukraine faces unprecedented challenges that simultaneously affect economic development and environmental security. Military operations, destruction of industrial and energy infrastructure, and the intensification of technogenic risks have caused large-scale environmental damage, including pollution of air, water, and soil, loss of biodiversity, and degradation of natural ecosystems. These processes have significantly aggravated existing environmental problems and created new constraints on economic recovery. The article examines the formation of environmental limitations on Ukraine’s economic development under wartime conditions, emphasizing the need to balance economic activity with environmental protection requirements. Particular attention is paid to the impact of weakened environmental control, suspension of inspections, limited access to monitoring, and risks of illegal resource exploitation. It is substantiated that the implementation of sustainable development principles, improvement of environmental legislation, modernization of production technologies, and the development of effective monitoring and control mechanisms are key instruments for mitigating environmental risks. Environmental restrictions under martial law are adaptive in nature and should form an integral part of the national recovery strategy, aimed at ensuring long-term environmental safety, economic sustainability, and post-war ecological rehabilitation.
