Design/methodology/approach. To research the modern trends of Ukrainian integration into European value chains, the methods of scientific research were applied (theoretical generalization, empirical method and methods of statistical analysis).
Findings. Our research observed the modern tendencies of Ukrainian economy integration into European value chains. During 2000-2021 Ukraine traded the products in such types of economic activities as agriculture, forestry and fishing; electricity, gas and water; mining and quarrying; manufacturing, and services in GVCs. There were also significant changes in the geographical structure of Ukraine's trade in GVCs, and, also, changed the direction of Ukraine's foreign economic activity: from the “Russia-CIS vector” to the “EU vector”.
Practical implications. The obtained results impact to develop the recommendations for the formation and implementation of the strategy of Ukrainian integration into European value chains now and at the conditions of postwar period.
