Features of the formation and implementation of land policy under the legal regime of martial law in Ukraine

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of Ukraine's land policy under the legal regime of martial law caused by the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation. It reveals the key challenges faced by the state due to the incompleteness of land reform, imperfections in land resource management mechanisms, and the fragmented regulatory and legal framework. Emphasis is placed on the need to develop new approaches to the implementation of land policy that take into account the conditions of martial law, the needs of decentralization, and Ukraine’s course toward European integration. The article analyzes recent studies and publications by domestic researchers. It highlights European experience in organizing land relations, particularly the functioning of national land banks, digital cadasters, and systems that encourage efficient land use. The paper proposes directions for adapting the best international practices to Ukrainian realities. Strategic priorities of state policy in the field of land use are defined, aimed at achieving sustainable socio-economic development, improving the population's living standards, and ensuring the realization of citizens’ constitutional rights to land. Special attention is given to the specifics of land policy as an integral component of national security and the economic development of the state. During the full-scale war, Ukraine has encountered new challenges requiring rapid response and adaptation of current legislation to wartime conditions. Ensuring effective management of land resources is one of the key tasks of the state on the path to territorial recovery, support of the agricultural sector, and protection of landowners' and land users' rights. The article outlines a system of government measures aimed at regulating land relations, ensuring the rational use and protection of land, developing the institution of ownership, and implementing the socio-economic function of land. In peacetime, land policy was formed within the framework of market transformations; however, the war has introduced adjustments that require new approaches.
