It was established that new threats from a full-scale invasion of Russia are making adjustments to the sphere of public administration, which needs constant improvement in the system of national security and defense of Ukraine.

The article states that state regulation in the field of national security is aimed at protecting: a person and a citizen; society; states and territories in general from emergency situations. The author indicated and analyzed the modern sector of national security and defense of Ukraine, which consists of four interrelated components: security forces, defense forces, the defense-industrial complex, citizens and public associations that join voluntarily at their own will to ensure national security.
