Abstract
The specificity of wartime is that chronic problems that in peacetime developed linearly and were subject to classical anti-crisis regulation are transformed into critical, avalanche-like threats under the influence of security shocks. This requires a radical rethinking of the security paradigm itself, where the concept of static maintenance of macroeconomic stability should be replaced by the philosophy of dynamic economic stability, that is, the ability of the system not only to resist destructive factors, but also to adapt to constant and unpredictable transformations. In view of this, the purpose of the article is a comprehensive theoretical and methodological analysis and structuring of key threats to economic security in martial law, determining the channels of their interconnection and substantiating applied recommendations for increasing the viability of the national economy. The article substantiates that the construction of an effective system for protecting economic interests in this extreme period is impossible without a clear distinction between external destructive impacts and internal structural destructors. It is proven that only through a deep understanding of the anatomy of military threats and the mechanisms of their impact on state finances, human resources and business can an adaptive state policy be formed that can minimize current losses and lay a solid foundation for the future post-war recovery of the country. The study substantiates that classical approaches to ensuring economic security, focused on peacetime or local crises, have proven ineffective. Today, there is an urgent scientific and practical need to rethink destructive factors, assess their synergistic effect and develop dynamic models of resilience. This is necessary not only for the survival of the economic complex in a state of protracted conflict, but also to lay the fundamental conditions for further post-war recovery.
