The article focuses on the implementation of the 2021–2027 State Strategy for Regional Development of Ukraine under martial law. The first period of this strategy, 2021-2023, is analyzed, with 2024 also examined in some aspects. In general, the 2021-2027 State Strategy for Regional Development is being implemented in conditions of constant adaptation to the challenges of war, with an emphasis on decentralization, digitalization, and European integration. Progress in local strategic planning and the implementation of digital tools is encouraging, but the large-scale socio-economic consequences of the war and data problems require constant attention and international support. The analysis of the 2021-2027 State Strategy for Regional Development clearly demonstrates that this document is not just a formal plan, but a living, adaptive tool that has had to undergo radical transformation in response to the greatest challenge in the modern history of Ukraine – a full-scale invasion. The initial ambitious goals aimed at strengthening regional cohesion and competitiveness have been supplemented and largely reoriented towards recovery, security, and preservation of human capital. The first stage of the Strategy’s implementation (2021-2023) showed initial successes in the development of infrastructure and the social sphere, but it was from 2022 that its implementation entered the phase of crisis response and strategic adaptation. This underlines the flexibility of government approaches to regional policy, which is critically important in conditions of uncertainty. Thus, the degree of implementation of the 2021-2027 State Strategy for Regional Development is partial and largely adapted. The initial goals were achieved only fragmentarily, and from 2022 onwards, the focus shifted towards ensuring security conditions, recovery, integration of IDPs, reintegration of veterans, and further development of the institutional and financial capacity of local governments in the context of war and post-war reconstruction. The key will be not only identifying new priorities, but also creating effective mechanisms for their implementation in the face of limited resources and constant challenges. Ukraine has a unique chance to build better and more resilient regions, using international support and its own capabilities.
