From this point of view, the issues of detecting the risks and threats to financial stability in Ukraine in condi­tions of war and military law require particular attention. It makes the issue of developing new approaches to the implementation of the adaptive budget, tax, and debt policy and the accomplishment of quick, systemic, and efficient policy measures in new conditions quite relevant.

The major trends in the functioning of the public finance sector and domestic bank­ing system of Ukraine in conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war are detected. The risks and threats affecting financial stability in Ukraine are determined. The public programs to support internally displaced people are analyzed. The possibilities of strengthening financial imbalances caused by military aggression are emphasized. The innovations introduced by the Government in tax and customs domains with the view to “mitigate” shocks in the economy of Ukraine are analyzed.

The article shows that the reduced tax revenues during the two months of the war in Ukraine are partially caused by simpli­fied budget procedures. The directions of strengthening the financial stability in terms of budget savings and increasing the international macro-financial assistance following the principles of targeted spending and management in full compliance with the EU standards and procedures are outlined. The reasonability of zoning the areas depending on the risk of financial-economic resilience violation is emphasized. Conclusions.
