Resume

It is substantiated that the processes of transformation of the economic structure are becoming more relevant in the current conditions and are gaining systemic and security significance. It is noted that the experience of post-war economies proves that there is no simple and universal plan for structural modernization of the economy of countries that would allow solving long-standing and emerging problems of their economic development. The article substantiates the role of entrepreneurial activity in the processes of spatial and structural transformation of the Ukrainian economy. The purpose of the article is to analyze the peculiarities of entrepreneurial activity in the current conditions of spatial and structural transformation of Ukraine’s economy and to substantiate the priorities for modernizing the structure of the national economy in the post-war period. The article analyses the peculiarities of entrepreneurial activity in the conditions of war, in particular in the context of changes in the dynamics of territorial concentration of business, interregional distribution of closures and openings of enterprises, and the structural and spatial distribution of Ukrainian exporters. The geography of the founders of newly created enterprises and their sectoral and industrial distribution are analyzed. Based on the analysis of the interregional and intersectoral distribution of capital investments, the investment activity of Ukrainian regions in the context of limited investment resources is characterized. The priorities of spatial and structural changes in the economy of Ukrainian regions, which have the potential for development and in the future will ensure innovation and technological progress and improve the quality of life of the population, have been determined. It is proposed to develop a comprehensive strategy for the recovery of Ukraine and its regions, which will take into account all aspects of the restructuring of the Ukrainian economy and use all available resources, including international assistance. It is noted that successful recovery of Ukraine will require not only significant financial resources, but also systemic reforms aimed at improving the business climate, fighting corruption and the rule of law.

Keywords:
