The article examines the scale of the russian military aggression destructive impact on the economy of Ukraine in the context of identifying current and prospective structural transformations of employment in Ukraine in line with labor market demands. The dynamics of world economic development are analyzed, and its unevenness is noted. The consequences of russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine are assessed; the volume of direct damage inflicted on various sectors of the Ukrainian economy and regions are evaluated as the root causes of structural shifts in the economy and labor market at the present stage. Changes in the structure of Ukraine's GDP by economic sectors are determined, the long-term consequences of the war for industry, in particular for the metallurgical, chemical and machine-building complexes, and the intensification of existing systemic problems of the Ukrainian economy are stated. The conclusion is made regarding the need to form a new economic model of Ukraine as the basis for the state post-war restoration and ensuring equal entry into the system of the global division of labor.
A set of tasks regarding the current and prospective labor resource provision of the national economy is identified. It is emphasized that structural employment priorities should be formed in accordance with the needs of the economy, which, in turn, raises questions regarding the adaptive training of specialists to meet the labor market's human resource needs.
