Abstract:

The article analyses the results of assistance to Ukraine from the international community and partner countries in the context of countering the brutal aggression of the Russian Federation. International support plays a crucial role in Ukraine’s stability and recovery, and cooperation with the international community has become an essential factor in restoring and strengthening the country, increasing its defence capabilities and supporting the economy in the war zone. The paper identifies the main strategies that highlight the problems of Ukraine’s foreign policy and determine the activities of the state on the world stage, aimed at ensuring the adaptation of the country’s policy to changes in the international situation, in particular, in the context of the military conflict with Russia. It describes international projects of the European Union, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the European Investment Bank aimed at supporting Ukraine in the war. Funding from the international community, financial institutions and partner countries strengthens Ukraine and its defence capabilities. The mechanisms and instruments of Ukraine’s recovery in the post-war period (state reconstruction programmes, international grant initiatives, investment funds, concessional lending mechanisms, public-private partnership instruments, humanitarian aid and technical support) are considered. The practical value of the work lies in a detailed analysis of the conceptual strategies that form the basis for the implementation of the main goals of Ukraine’s foreign activities and international projects to support the country in times of war (strategy of international diplomacy – active involvement of foreign partners through diplomatic initiatives; strategy of economic assistance – attraction of financial resources for recovery and development; strategy of defence cooperation – provision of military support and cooperation; strategy of humanitarian support – assistance to socially vulnerable groups).
