THE UKRAINIAN REGION’S LOGISTICS POTENTIAL DUE TO MODERN SECURITY CHALLENGES
Abstract
The paper deals with the nature of region’s logistics potential. The main elements of the region’s logistical potential were performed. The authors note, that Odesa region plays a crucial role in international trade and logistics, but modern security challenges significantly disrupt its operations. For today, these challenges serve as a catalyst for transforming the Odesa region's logistics. Key threats include military conflicts, mine contamination, port blockades, economic sanctions, terrorism, and piracy. These risks hinder maritime traffic, increase logistical challenges, and necessitate the development of alternative sea routes. Ongoing conflicts in the Black Sea, including missile strikes and minefields, compel redirection of cargo to river ports like Izmail and Reni, alongside multimodal routes combining rail, road, and sea transport. The authors emphasize that economic pressures, such as rising insurance costs and tariffs, drive companies to adapt its logistics strategies. Geopolitical shifts also open opportunities for integrating the region into global transport networks by enhancing infrastructure and diversifying trade partners.
