Abstract

Analysis of the current state of economic security in Ukraine's transport sector in the context of full-scale war, identification of key threats and challenges in this area, and justification of ways to improve security through infrastructure modernization, implementation of intelligent transport systems, enhancement of information security, and adaptation to international standards. The close integration of the Ukrainian economy into the global economic system means that Russian aggression creates not only internal socio-economic challenges, but also significant losses and risks for the global economy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a thorough analysis and study of the current state of Ukraine's economic security. The economic security of the transport sector is characterized by the ability of domestic transport to fully meet the needs of economic agents in domestic and international transportation, maintain competitiveness in global transport markets, and effectively use its transit potential. The study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the economic security of Ukraine's transport sector in the context of military aggression. Critical threats caused by a full-scale invasion, such as economic decline, infrastructure destruction, export potential restrictions, and demographic problems, have been identified. The necessity of implementing a system of economic, organizational, and legal measures to counter these threats is substantiated. The article examines in detail the areas for improving transport security, in particular: technical modernization of the transport complex, improvement of logistics infrastructure, development of intelligent transport systems to optimize traffic flows and improve road safety. Special attention is paid to the information security of transport companies, emphasizing the importance of timely system configuration, the introduction of attack detection systems, and the use of forced access control mechanisms. Specific measures for rail and road transport are also highlighted, including rolling stock renewal, electrification, the development of electric transport, and increased responsibility for carriers of dangerous goods. The importance of protecting the interests of domestic carriers in the international market is emphasized.
