Abstract:
The aim of the article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Ukraine’s export potential in the context of geopolitical challenges and to develop recommendations for its enhancement. The study is based on the analysis of official statistical data regarding the volumes, commodity, regional, and geographical structure of exports for the years 2021 and 2024, the use of comparative analysis methods and scientific synthesis, and the application of PEST analysis methodology for surveying the key factors affecting Ukraine’s export potential amid geopolitical challenges. The results of the study found a significant reduction in export volumes and transformations in the commodity and geographical structures during the Russian full-scale invasion, leading to the conclusion of a forced simplification of the export structure and increased dependence on the agro-industrial complex. A geographical reorientation of exports towards the EU market has been determined, which has altered the country’s foreign trade relationships. The factors affecting export trends have been outlined, among which the war in Ukraine is crucial one, having a destructive influence on production, logistics, energy, human capital, etc. Along with this, the positive role of deepening European integration, international support, and the internal adaptability of Ukrainian business and society has been highlighted. Recommendations have been proposed for enhancing export potential through the development of logistics adapted to the challenges of the war; encouraging deep processing in the agricultural sector; implementing differentiated approaches to export development at the regional level, which would take into account varying degrees of impact from the war; balancing market diversification and institutional improvements in the context of forming a foundation for an adaptive export strategy suitable for wartime conditions. It is substantiated that the realization of export potential in the current conditions requires a focus on sustainability and the use of new opportunities. A promising direction for further research is the assessment of the efficiency of specific export support policies in the context of the war and modeling various scenarios for the post-war restoration of Ukraine’s export potential. It is also important to continue monitoring the efficiency of the proposed measures in the dynamics.

Keywords: export potential, export, foreign trade, geopolitical challenges, regional development.
