SECURITY CHALLENGES FOR UKRAINE’S FOREIGN ECONOMIC SECTOR IN THE CRISIS AND DISTRIBUTION COLLAPSE

Ntroduction. The armed conflict has led to a critical decline in transport and distribution chain stability, significantly affecting traditional trade routes. Military actions, destruction of infrastructure, restrictions on international trade and other challenges have a significant impact on Ukraine's foreign economic security. Large-scale disruptions in the operation of ports, rail transport and road logistics have become a source of new risks for export activities. In such circumstances, Ukrainian companies must reorient their export flows, looking for alternative routes through Western borders and European logistics hubs. Researching these challenges and developing strategies are key to maintaining stability and effective economic adaptation to new realities.
