ABSTRACT. The article is devoted to the coverage of the consequences of military operations and the regular emergence of emergency situations related to them in various regions of Ukraine. The concept of «emergency situations» is identified and their classification is given, emergency situations that tend to occur during military operations are characterized, the consequences of a full-scale invasion of the russian federation into Ukraine in the year 2022 in terms of social, economic, security, and medical provision are outlined according to experts’ assessments. Already at this stage of the course of hostilities, it is possible to identify the destructive effect of the targeted attacks of the russian federation on Ukrainian statehood.

Along with the impoverishment of the population, the adaptation of veterans, the outflow of educated youth, and the decrease in the birth rate are the main social consequences of the emergency of this war. Although before the end of hostilities and the complete de-occupation of the territory of Ukraine, it is too early to draw conclusions about the damage caused as a result of hostilities and the number of victims (with the passage of time and the actions of the aggressor aimed at hiding evidence of war crimes, the exact number of victims and captured/forcibly deported citizens is not possible to establish in general), existing data reveal colossal human, infrastructural, and financial losses. The migration and economic crisis in Ukraine and the world have become a challenge that we still have to deal with with joint efforts, apart from, of course, the priority of bringing justice to the aggressor after the end of hostilities.

Keywords: emergency, war, war consequences, losses, refugees, danger, victims.
