This paper examines the role of pets in preserving the emotional and spiritual wellbeing of Ukrainian Residents during Russian Hostilities. On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which resulted in a huge number of refugees, both in the country and outside the country. This, in turn, has caused pet owners to rethink their priorities in many ways. This paper is focused on the influence of these animals and relationships with them on maintaining the emotional state and the decision-making process of the Ukrainian residents during the war. In addition, the functions that pets perform in families were considered: educational, reproductive, leisure, etcetera. In Ukraine, pets are considered family members, so many families refused to leave their homeland because they could not leave their cats and dogs alone. Thus, there was/is no mass abandonment or killing of animals in Ukraine during the war.

This article covers the topicality of the implementation of information and communication technologies in the process of future psychologists' professional training. We have studied students’ attitude toward the implementation of educational new forms and established the type of students' learning motivation. The results of the empirical research have indicated that students consider it appropriate to implement online forms of learning in the educational process. We have found out that part-time students receiving the second education are more focused on mastering professional knowledge and skills, and there are students who are focused only on obtaining the higher education diploma among full-time students. We have identified five groups of obstacles that arise during the implementation of online learning forms in the educational process of students-psychologists and three groups of development resources that are necessary for the effective implementation of the educational process in the online format. Thus, we see the prospects for further research in the study of the level of digital competence development among the University teachers of psychological courses in higher education and their attitude toward the implementation of information and communication technologies in the educational process of future psychologists.
