Resume

This article identifies the main trends in the transformation of transport and logistics flows in Ukraine amid military risks, structural changes to the economy, and instability in the external environment. The relevance of the study stems from the need to ensure the resilience and continuity of transport and logistics flows amid the destruction of transport infrastructure, the reorientation of export and import routes, changes in the geography and structure of cargo flows, and the intensification of Ukraine’s integration into the European transport space. The effective functioning and adaptive management of transport and logistics flows are of strategic importance for supporting foreign economic activity, ensuring supply continuity, and maintaining Ukraine’s economic stability. The study employs a range of general and specialized research methods, including analysis and synthesis, statistical analysis, comparison, generalization, and a systems approach. The analysis of the dynamics of freight transportation and freight turnover by mode of transport in 2022-2025 reveals the main trends in the transformation of transport and logistics flows and to determine the specific features of their functioning under martial law. Based on statistical data, the article examines changes in the structure of freight transportation, determines the role of rail and road transport in domestic and foreign trade transportation, and analyzes the dynamics of major cargo groups. It reveals that the transformation of transport and logistics flows is structural in nature, as evidenced by the reorientation of international transport routes, changes in the role of individual modes of transport, the growing importance of western border crossings and Danube ports, and the development of multimodal transport. The study also identifies trends toward diversifying transport routes, digitizing logistics processes, and deeper integration of Ukraine into the European transport space. The findings substantiate the need for an adaptive approach to the strategic management of transport and logistics flows aimed at increasing their flexibility, continuity, and resilience to external threats. Based on the results of the analysis, the article substantiates strategic directions for adapting logistics management to the new configuration of transport and logistics flows, including the diversification of transport routes, the development of multimodal transport, the digitalization of logistics processes, and the integration of Ukraine into the European TEN-T network. The implementation of these directions is expected to strengthen the resilience of transport and logistics flows, improve the adaptability of logistics management, and support Ukraine’s integration into the European transport space.
