ABSTRACT

The full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine caused extremely terrible consequences for the health of Ukrainians, as well as for human capital in general. The population of Ukraine has lost the previously stable conditions of quality life, constant stress against the background of armed aggression has caused the deterioration of mental health, the level of forced migration has increased significantly, and a new crisis has arisen in the health care system. The occupation of part of the territory by Russian troops led to the loss of access to medical facilities, an increase in morbidity and mortality. War causes not only tragic consequences for the population at the time of armed aggression, but also long-term consequences for the lives of individuals and even generations as a result of injuries, mutilations and mental trauma.

Keywords: Russian-Ukrainian war, public health, health care system, public administration, public health monitoring.
