Problems of demining and the influence of military actions on the activities of business structures and the agricultural complex of Ukraine

The paper is devoted to the analysis of mining problems of a large part of the country's territory. It highlights the impact of military operations on the agro-industrial complex and the activities of business structures. The dynamics of losses due to mining and conducting active hostilities are given. In addition, the problems of the process of demining territories in Ukraine and directions for their solution are highlighted in detail, in particular through the financing mechanism of environmental state targeted programs. According to the research of the Ukrainian Club of Agrarian Business, about 2 million hectares of fields remain in those areas that have been cleared of mines. This leads to economic costs. Thus, Ukraine loses about 800 million dollars every year due to idleness. It is also worth emphasizing the amount of damage to agricultural production and the agro-industrial complex caused by the war. According to analytical estimates of the National Bank of Ukraine, during the war, the economy loses about 50% of "unproduced" GDP. According to experts' estimates, Ukraine loses about 50 billion hryvnias every week, not including losses from destruction. The IMF estimates Ukraine's losses due to the invasion of the occupiers at 35% of GDP. A significant number of business structures of enterprises found themselves in areas where active hostilities are taking place and were forced to evacuate to safe regions or stopped working altogether. A promising task in this direction is the approval of new environmental state target programs in order to demine agricultural territories and use them for the purposes of agricultural production and the implementation of activities of business structures. This mechanism provides for various implementation tools, sources and methods of financing. The mechanism considered in the paper provides for the active cooperation of state customers, investors of state target programs and the public in the implementation of environmental state target programs.
