Abstract

The large-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into the territory of Ukraine has significantly destabilized the processes of functioning of representative authorities in Ukraine and, moreover, has led to destructive changes due to the annexation of the country’s territories. The article aims to study the theoretical and applied foundations of peculiarities of functioning of representative institutions in Ukraine, during the war. The methodological basis of the study consists of general and special scientific methods of cognition and economic and legal analysis, in particular: systems analysis, synthesis, abstraction, comparison, analogy, statistical analysis, functional analysis, clustering, cluster analysis (based on the k-means method), correlation and regression analysis, graphical, tabular, generalization and systematization. The results of the theoretical studies carried out allow us to establish a significant impact on the destabilizing factors of the external and internal environment, the most important of which are the military factors. In conclusion, significant imbalances have been revealed in the process of ensuring the implementation of the principles of democracy in the activities of representative institutions.
