The prevailing influence of Russian aggression in generating threats to the economic security of the state was established. The most dangerous global risks in the short- and medium-term period were studied based on the results of the generalization of The Global Risks Perception Survey by the World Economic Forum, including the increase in the cost of living, natural disasters, and geo-economic confrontation. It was established the relationship and interdependence of the specified global risks with the most dangerous threats to the economic security of Ukraine, in particular, the Russian war against Ukraine, the acute crisis of commodity supply, large-scale forced migration, cyber risks in terms of information access, etc. It has been proven that in the conditions of globalization, threats to the economic security of a separate subject of international economic relations are a source of danger for the global political, economic and humanitarian environment. The ways of countering threats to the economic security of Ukraine at the international level were characterized, including lending, militarytechnical assistance, investment, guarantees of further support. The inflationary threat to the economic security of Ukraine was analyzed as a significant catalyst for a number of other risks and threats in war conditions. It was proven the prevailing influence of exogenous threats on the state economic security under global transformations, which is significantly strengthened by the presence of internal threats to the state economic security. Internal systemic threats to the economic security of Ukraine were highlighted.
