      abstract = {Purpose. The article aims – to identify current trends,  determine the level of state support and prospects for the  development of the dairy industry in Ukraine in the  post-war period, taking into account cooperation with the  EU. Methodology / approach. The research was conducted  using the comparison method with the nearest EU country –  Poland. The analysis of indicators of the development of  the dairy industry was carried out on the basis of the data  of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, Poland,  Eurostat, and Statista company using methods of relative  values, a series of dynamics. Results. Analysis of the  dynamics of the main dairy industry indicators in Ukraine  revealed a long-term trend towards a decrease in milk  production volumes. During 1990–2021, the volume of milk  production decreased by 3 times, and the number of cows  decreased by 5 times. Since 2020, the dairy industry has  shifted from being export-oriented to becoming dependent on  imports. On the other hand, Poland, which is geographically  and climatically close to Ukraine, shows the opposite  dynamics of the dairy industry development. Studying the  functioning of the dairy sector in Poland revealed a high  level of state financial support and fiscal stimulation.  The study shows that the financial support of the dairy  industry of Ukraine is noticeably insufficient, and the  fiscal stimulation provided is inadequate. Moreover, the  efficiency of managing budget funds is low. The situation  is further complicated by the ongoing military aggression  from russia. Considering the constraints of state funding,  it is suggested that the array of instruments for  supporting animal husbandry should be tailored based on the  scale of entrepreneurial entities involved; differentiation  in the provision of state support should also apply to  agricultural producers in the de-occupied territories. In  order to fully and promptly manage the amount of financing,  it is necessary to speed up the procedure for distributing  funds between areas and approving financial documentation;  it is expedient to consider the possibility of payments for  the keeping dairy cattle for small business entities  without the need for coordination with the main manager of  funds. Originality / scientific novelty. The obtained  results allow a deeper investigation of the main  development issues of the Ukrainian dairy industry in the  pre-war period and under martial law in the context of  further European integration. Practical value /  implications. The study’s findings can be the basis for  further scientific research in the direction of developing  a comprehensive set of measures to stimulate Ukraine’s  dairy industry. This is of particular importance in the  post-war period promoting the restoration of food  security.},
