The Russian-Ukrainian war, which began in February 2014 with the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, opened a new page in the history of our country. In February 2022, Russian troops launched a large-scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine, but encountered a resolute repulse from the Defense Forces of Ukraine. However, as the scale of hostilities increased, so did the need for help from Western democratic states to Ukraine. The article is devoted to conducting a retrospective analysis of the historical and legal foundations of the implementation of the lend-lease program during the Second World War and promising ways of its application in Ukraine in today's conditions. During the retrospective analysis, it was determined that the supply of lend-lease made it possible to solve the main problematic issues of the Soviet economy, namely the production of gasoline, explosives, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, radio stations, trucks, etc. The significance of the military aid provided under the Lend-Lease Act of 1941, which was crucial for strengthening the potential of US allied states in armed confrontation with Hitler's coalition states, is established. The role of the decision on the introduction of lend-lease for Ukraine by the United States is given in terms of the role of Ukraine in restraining Russian armed aggression and preventing its spread to the west, in particular to the states of NATO's eastern flank. At the same time, it is proposed to consider that lend-lease for Ukraine is the receipt by our state of strategically important military aid for the further effective repulsion of the aggression of the armed forces of the Russian Federation in view of the risks of prolonging the military conflict. Today, a similar step is a powerful help in strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities and resisting Russia's armed aggression, which improves the prospects for the liberation of temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories. It has been established that Lend-Lease will not only be a guarantee of our victory on the battlefield, but will also stimulate the development of the defense industry of our country, and therefore will become a powerful catalyst for the development of the Ukrainian economy.

Purpose:  to form ways of interaction between the executors (developers) of normative legal acts of the Sector of security and state defense and the specialists of the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers in order to increase the efficiency of the performance of duties by the relevant officials during the monitoring of the procedures for accompanying draft acts submitted for consideration by the Cabinet of Ministers. Design/Method/Approach: To achieve the goal of the research, a step-by-step instruction (algorithm) for the proper development (support) of the draft regulatory act during the interaction of the executors (developers) of regulatory acts of the Sector of security and state defense with specialists of the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers, has been proposed. Findings: the procedure for the examination of draft laws and regulations submitted to the Council discussed. Theoretical implications: as a result of the survey, an indication for the proper implementation of the draft legal act has been received. Originality/Value: The value of the study lies in its practical relevance for decision-makers and responsible administrators in terms of the proper preparation and accompaniment of draft regulations submitted to the Government. Research limitations/Future research: One of the main Limitations is the need to take into account the specifics of drafting regulations containing restricted access information. Paper type: theoretical.
