“…Since the start of the extensive military incursion, Ukrainian education and our country as a whole have had to address incredibly challenging tasks: how to keep calm and motivated to work and study; how to acquire new knowledge, skills and abilities; and how to help students who are displaced. Despite the complexity of the situation, scientists and teachers continue their pedagogical, scientific, methodological, and organizational activities in the field of education and science (Darden, 2023;Gaind et al, 2022;Miller & Wyborn, 2020;Ribtsun, 2023).…”

The deepening of the conflict in Ukraine and the imposition of martial law have had a devastating impact on the country’s social environment as well as its economic infrastructure. The education sector is one of the most war-affected areas in Ukraine, which currently faces new challenges that should be studied in order to explore the existing experience of anti-crisis management of educational institutions and search for ways to optimize the situation. The purpose of the academic paper is to distinguish the features of education in Ukraine in the context of military operations in Ukraine, and to characterize the main aspects that should be taken into account when organizing educational activities during the period of military invasion. In the course of the present research, induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis of information, system-structural, comparative, logical and linguistic methods, abstraction, and idealization were used to study and process data. At the same time, the analytical and bibliographic method was applied to study the scientific literature on developing the educational system during military incursion. By the way, the research authors also conducted a questionnaire in online mode to practically clarify the most significant issues related to the research topic. Based on the research results, the main and most important theoretical characteristics of the educational process during the war were established. Along with this, the viewpoints of scientists and educators on key aspects of the outlined issue were investigated.

“…The next rounds of international climate change negotiations are likely to be especially challenging, given rising nationalism, growing global tensions, and inflationary tendencies linked to the Russian war against Ukraine. The countries that will have some of the most influence on global emission levels-the United States, China, the European Union, and Russia-which together, account for about half of global carbon dioxide emissions, have seen their scientific cooperation negatively impacted by the war, for example, in relation to Arctic and space science-two critical areas for climate change research (Gaind et al 2022).…”

Implications of the Russian War on Ukraine for Climate Policy and the Geopolitics of Energy

The February 2022 Russian invasion of the Ukraine has led to radical changes in European energy politics and placed new urgency on plans to expand renewable energy and enhance energy efficiency. The European Union, the United States, and many other states have slapped a series of crippling sanctions on Russia and reduced or completely cut their fossil fuel imports in an effort to stop the cash flow the Kremlin needs to finance its war. Russian fossil fuel is being replaced by imports from other regions while demand has been reduced through energy savings by households and businesses. Putin's aggression against Ukraine has forced Europe to speed up its energy transition, meaning that Russia has unintentionally spurred on European climate policy. China, on the other hand, is deepening its trade ties with Russia, supporting the country by buying more oil and gas. New alliances are forming that will have long-term consequences for the geopolitics of energy and could also affect the potential for further cooperation on climate change globally.

“…Студентська наукова робота у вищих навчальних закладах України є однією із ключових компонент освітнього процесу, яка дозволяє молоді реалізувати свій творчий потенціал та здібності. Проте, війна внесла істотні корективи в організацію студентської наукової роботи [5]. Масштабне руйнування закладів вищої освіти вплинуло на обмеження або припинення доступу до ресурсів, які визначають організацію наукового простору.…”

The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 dealt a severe blow to the educational and scientific aspirations of the young generation in our country. The destruction of universities, lack of essential equipment and reagents, power shortages, and disrupted communication between students and their academic mentors due to the adoption of distance learning have significantly hindered their pursuit of education and science. This study aims to analyze the motivational factors that drive students to engage in academic and scientific work during the ongoing wartime. Materials and methods. For this cross-sectional study, we gathered data from 75 respondents who were studying in higher educational institutions of Ukraine as of February 24, 2022 in the period from September to October 2022. Results. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, 36% of respondents reported a reduction in available time for educational activities, 18.67% of respondents noted a decrease in the time allocated to scientific work. An analysis of the respondents' involvement in scientific research during their study at higher education institutions revealed that 67% of respondents considered student scientific research to be an integral part of the educational environment. Prior to the war, key motivational factors for young women included seeking social approval from family or friends and pursuing rewards. For young men, it was challenging to pinpoint a singular most significant factor, but social approval from family or friends, personal satisfaction, and interest in research projects were notably prominent. With the onset of the war, among young women, the primary motivating factors that remained pivotal were an interest in science and the recognition of the value of their research outcomes. Among young men, a loss of distinct boundaries between motivational priorities for engaging in scientific work was observed. Conclusion. The ongoing war has brought about a substantial shift in how students perceive scientific work, leading to a discernible decrease in motivation among this demographic. This research serves as a valuable foundation for developing strategies aimed at bolstering motivation and encouraging active participation in scientific research among young individuals. Furthermore, it offers insights that can be instrumental in enhancing the quality of education at Ukrainian universities during times of conflict.
