The problem of strengthening national resilience in the context of counte- ring external armed aggression and preparing for future post-war reconstruc- tion is considered using the case of Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to identify the peculiarities of Ukraine’s national resilience, strategies for its enhancement under the conditions of resistance to external armed aggression and preparation for future post-war reconstruction. It is emphasized that the sustainability of Ukraine is subject to the simultaneous influence of security, resource, climate, social, demographic and other challenges. Mea- sures to strengthen national resilience are oriented towards: the ability to respond promptly to threats, to recover quickly; and the development of the ability to prevent an ever-widening range of threats and risks of any nature. The importance of strengthening national resilience to threats and dangers in both the physical and digital world, both within and outside the state (inter- nal and external dimensions of national resilience) is stated. It is noted that currently, the implementation of Ukraine’s national sustainability strategy depends not only on the internal potential and consolidation of national re- sources but also on the timeliness and sufficient amounts of external support. The key vectors for enhancing Ukraine’s national resilience are identified: strengthening defence capabilities, strengthening infrastructure to deter po- tential Russian aggression in the future; ensuring nuclear safety; preserving and increasing human potential; reconstructing Ukraine based on new tech- nologies and standards; carrying out necessary reforms for further integra- tion into the EU, intensifying international cooperation, etc. It is argued that for Ukraine, the issue of national resilience is a matter of its ability to fight for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and at the same time, to continue the initiated democratic reforms and prepare for further post-war reconstruction.
