The purpose of this article is to characterize the peculiarities of ensuring food security in Ukraine under wartime conditions. In this study, general scientific research methods were used to characterize the provision of food security in Ukraine during wartime, specifically: methods of theoretical and comparative analysis, induction and deduction, graphical method, and trend analysis. It has been established that the significance of food security in Ukraine is intensified in the broader context of national security. An independent Ukraine, capable of producing enough food to meet its needs and fulfill its export obligations, is inherently more resilient to external pressure and crises. The main consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on Ukraine's food security have been identified. It is proven that ensuring food security in Ukraine involves creating conditions for reliable access for all segments of the population to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food at all times, which promotes an active and healthy lifestyle. It is determined that food security is achieved through the stabilization of the domestic agri-food market, support of the agricultural sector, the use of innovations in agriculture, and effective management of natural and financial resources. It is proven that special attention is also paid to strengthening the country's export potential, ensuring its important role in the global food market. It has been established that military actions have directly affected Ukraine's agricultural infrastructure, including the destruction or damage of agricultural lands, grain storages, processing plants, and logistics networks. It is determined that under the conditions of martial law, ensuring food security in Ukraine acquires particular complexity and critical importance. The challenges of wartime for Ukraine's food security system have been characterized. It is proven that international support and cooperation also become important aspects in overcoming humanitarian challenges related to food provision.
