Poverty in Ukraine due to Russian military aggression
Poverty in Ukraine due to Russian military aggression

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study was to establish the real level of poverty in Ukraine and to determineits meaning and factors of its formation in the specific conditions of Russian military aggressionin the country and to form a vision of the nearest prospects of its dynamics. The methodology ofthe conducted research was formed on the basis of a dialectical approach to the study of socio-economic phenomena in an organic combination with the methods of analysis and synthesis as well as induction and deduction using the method of scientific abstraction and the analytical-descriptivemethod. The tool for determining the prevalence of poverty and the degree of impoverishment of thepopulation is the poverty line. Two main methods of its definition are used: normative and relative(statistical). It has been established that the war has caused catastrophic damage to the country’seconomy and is the main factor in the sharp increase in the poverty level of the population. At thesame time, the issue of poverty is not a priority for the population of Ukraine at present. Purelyobjectively, for a country under the blows of an aggressor who is waging war to destroy it, thepoverty rate makes no economic sense; rather, it has political and social significance. The first taskis to end the war in an unambiguous version – the absolute victory of Ukraine, which correspondsto the interests of all civilised humanity. The prospects for reducing the level of poverty in Ukrainedepend on the duration of the war and the level of destruction of the country’s economy, as well asthe quality of development of the country’s economy and its population at a new level. The latter willdepend on the degree of inclusiveness of the new economic and political institutions. It is clear thata purely objective condition for the successful operation of the mentioned factors is the economicand political support of Ukraine by partner countries
