These issues require increased attention from scientists, as they remain insufficiently understood for the formation of appropriate policies and relations. In addition, there is a need for thorough scientific research to determine the role of social spending and its impact on modern technological warfare, as well as the importance of social spending and relevant sectors in ensuring transformational changes in society. Taking into account the above, the purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the volume of financing of the main sectors of social policy during wartime and peacetime, to establish the reasons for fluctuations and changes, as well as to justify the need to increase social spending and its importance for the needs of the army, and to carry out relevant transformations in social development. The war in Ukraine has shown that both warring parties use on the battlefield the knowledge and technologies acquired by humanity at this time. This motivates every society, and especially Ukrainians, to constantly develop, improve, continuously generate new and new ideas, create a modern innovative product that would be better than that of the enemy or competitor ( in peaceful life ).
