Abstract
The relevance of this study stems from the need to establish a sustainable system for the financing and logistical support of national resistance in the context of prolonged armed aggression, rising defence expenditure and limited budgetary resources. Contemporary security challenges require the development of new approaches to the mobilisation and management of resources capable of ensuring an adequate level of the state’s defence resilience. The aim of this study is to develop theoretical and methodological foundations and practical recommendations for improving the financing and logistical support of national resistance in Ukraine in the context of implementing the concept of modern finance. The subject of the study is the processes of financial and resource support for the components of national resistance. The study employs systemic, institutional, comparative and economic-statistical approaches, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis, econometric modelling, index analysis and expert assessment. To assess the relationship between a country’s economic potential and defence expenditure, a regression model was constructed, which demonstrated the existence of a strong statistical correlation between GDP per capita and expenditure on security and defence (R² = 0,9213). In addition, a comprehensive indicator of the effectiveness of funding for the security and defence sector has been developed, which takes into account the level of defence expenditure, its share of GDP, the structure of public expenditure, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine’s share in the funding of the security and defence sector, and the rate of growth in the relevant expenditure. The study’s findings showed that Ukraine’s expenditure on security and defence rose from 191.7 billion UAH in 2018 to 3,830 billion UAH in 2025, whilst its share of public expenditure reached 70 per cent. The value of the integrated indicator rose from 0.0091 in 2021 to 0.9043 in 2025, indicating a significant increase in the priority and scale of defence funding. A model for multi-channel funding of national resistance has been proposed, combining resources from the state and local budgets, international aid, military bonds, public-private partnerships and the voluntary sector. The practical value of this work lies in the potential to use the proposed approaches to improve public policy in the areas of national resistance, medium-term budget planning and the digital management of defence resources.
