This research delves into the intricacies of industrial park development and warehouse logistics in Ukraine, focusing on the challenges and opportunities arising in the aftermath of a full-scale invasion. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the existing landscape of industrial parks within Ukraine in 2023, encompassing their geographical distribution, developmental status, and financial capabilities. Furthermore, the study investigates the profound impact of the conflict on the progress of industrial parks and warehouse logistics in Ukraine, bringing forth critical issues that have emerged as a consequence.

Within this context, the research underscores the dependency on private investments, owing to the limited state support resulting from the reallocation of financial resources towards defense. It argues for the need to foster an environment conducive to attracting foreign investors and to streamline investment procedures, thereby enhancing Ukraine’s appeal for international businesses. Moreover, it anticipates a resurgence in the warehouse logistics market once stability is achieved, with multiple suspended investment projects expected to come to fruition in the short term.

This study highlights the significance of creating a favorable regulatory framework and legislative environment for investors, contributing to the growth of industrial parks and warehouse logistics. Additionally, it underscores the need for embracing cutting-edge technologies, including digitalization and eco-friendly practices, to bolster the competitiveness of these industrial parks on both the national and global stages.

In conclusion, Ukraine holds substantial potential in the advancement of industrial parks and warehouse logistics. To capitalize on this potential, it is imperative for the government to foster a stable investment climate, attract international partners for collaboration in this sector, and facilitate technological development, ultimately generating new employment opportunities and supporting sustainable economic growth. This research sets the stage for a comprehensive strategy to guide the revitalization of these industries in Ukraine, facilitating their resurgence as integral components of the nation’s post-war economic recovery.
