Abstract: The transportation and logistics sector is an important component of Ukraine's economic system, with a share of about 6.3% of GDP in 2020. This is due to the significant role of both domestic and international freight transportation, which ensures the continuous supply of goods and materials to enterprises and the final result. Aggression of russia against Ukraine has clearly demonstrated the critical role of the transportation sector for the country's economy and society. Since the outbreak of hostilities, russia has sought to disrupt Ukraine's transportation links with international partners, which are key ones to ensuring the supply of goods and humanitarian aid. Transport infrastructure has become one of the main targets of enemy attacks. The constant shelling damaged more than 25,000 km of roads, 6,500 km of railroad tracks, 315 bridges and 19 airports, 12 of which were used for civil aviation. Air traffic with other countries was completely disrupted. During the first year of the war, the volume of cargo transportation by rail, road, water, air, and pipeline in Ukraine decreased by almost half. That is why the primary task in the post-war economic recovery of Ukraine is to reconstruct the transportation and logistics sector, as well as to restore transport enterprises. The article examines the problems of Ukraine's transportation and logistics system during martial law and provides ways of post-war recovery of transport sector enterprises. In the course of the study, the following general scientific theoretical methods were used: system analysis - to determine the main research criteria; induction method - at the stage of collecting, systematizing and processing information for the study; deduction method - in the process of studying theoretical problems; abstract and logical method - to make theoretical generalizations and conclusions about the problems and challenges of the transportation and logistics sector in the context of war. The article analyzes the state of the transportation and logistics system and the problems faced by Ukrainian transport enterprises during the war. The main directions of the post-war reform of the logistics infrastructure and ways to restore and develop international transportation are identified. Ukrainian transport enterprises can achieve further development and recovery in the post-war period through prudent management decisions, legislative support, as well as the use of computer technology, artificial intelligence, and monitoring digital infrastructure performance. The restoration of facilities damaged as a result of hostilities, such as buildings, roads, bridges, ports, and airports, should be carried out with due regard for sustainable development goals and environmentally innovative digital technologies.
