Abstract

In Ukraine, every year more and more attention is being paid to the problems of land relations, an integral and important component of which is agricultural and nature conservation land use. After all, the effective use of land will ensure the security and independence of the country and, in general, public welfare. The article examines the problematic issues of land use, which were affected by the military actions of the aggressor country Russia, first in 2014 and now. Since the specificity of the use of land resources lies in the fact that it plays the role of the territory of the country, the main state-forming component (national security); universal spatial basis, which is constantly supported due to a certain ratio of land categories and types of land use (spatial); the main means of production in agriculture and forestry (food); the main component of nature (ecological); source of water, mineral, forest, recreational and other resources (economic security). That is why, in the study, the authors analyzed the main negative factors that directly affect the development of land relations in Ukraine, especially during the times of martial law, about the impact on food security in general. The article considers the possible consequences after the de-occupation of the temporarily occupied lands of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and AR Crimea. The influence of agricultural holdings on food security and the influence of foreign companies, including Russian enterprises, and their continued existence after the end of hostilities are also analyzed. It is established that in order to achieve the goal in this context for Ukraine, the primary strategic task of the state policy of national security is the restoration of the territorial integrity of the country and the set of democratic institutions throughout its territory, the preservation and restoration of land resources for further use, the consolidation of the Ukrainian political nation, the unity of all citizens of Ukraine and all regions of Ukraine, reintegration of temporarily occupied territories after their liberation.
