Abstract
The purpose of the work is to find out the potential of the agriculture of Donetsk region in the conditions of the
hybrid war from 2014 to the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in 2022.
The scientific novelty of the research results is the study of the development of the agricultural sector in the Donetsk
region during the specified period.
Conclusions. The modern history of Donetsk region reflects various periods, events, phenomena and processes, which
were confirmed by 2014 – 2022. They demonstrated the long history of Ukraine and the region’s belonging to it, the struggle for
Donetsk region. It happened in difficult conditions, but they had hope and expectations. Despite the fact that part of the region
was occupied, the other – demonstrated its rapid development and europeanness. Agriculture remained one of the leading
industries. The region lost some positions in it, however, due to the use of modern technologies and support, it tried to catch
up with its potential. The gross harvest of vegetable crops decreased, which was explained by climatic conditions and the need
to care for these products in difficult conditions. Positive dynamics were achieved due to poultry and pig farming. Agricultural
products became the property not only of Donetsk region, but also of Ukraine, some of which were exported to European and
Asian countries. Certain factors stood in the way: complicated logistics, the routes of which used to pass through occupied
settlements, lack of security, constant risks, natural and geographical factors. The study of the agricultural sector of the region
after its de-occupation and the end of the war can be a perspective of the research.
