68 social development in 2021. The downward trend continued in 2025 and this indicator amounted to 394,048.3 million UAH or 6.57% of the total structure of the consolidated budget of Ukraine. Meanwhile, the objective need of today, along with the increase in spending on the defense sector, in our opinion, is the need to increase social spending, in particular on: education, healthcare, social protection, including science for conducting fundamental and applied research. After all, it is well known that a healthy, educated and socially secure nation is capable of doubling the synergy for increasing GDP, increasing both the military and socio-economic potential of the country. In addition, the formation of favorable conditions for human development should be the basis of the new social policy of the state. The concept of a new social policy should not be reduced to free assistance and encouraging its passive expectation. It is designed to revive and encourage a person's sense of responsibility for his fate, to form motives for highly productive work and to involve him in such work, to create relatively equal "starting opportunities" in society for all its members. Caring for people, creating comfortable conditions for life and work will form a new civilizational culture of the society of the future of Ukraine. War is not only grief and suffering, it is also new opportunities for transformation. The experience has shown that Ukrainians can rally around existential problems, and therefore there is hope and a chance, and most importantly, not to lose them [3, р.13]. A characteristic feature of the 21st century is the rapid development of digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI). Therefore, any modern society needs new ideas in various fields, including innovative technologies, both in the military sphere and in everyday civilian life. It is known from open sources that the aggressor country (russia) is rapidly developing a wide range of applications of advanced technologies based on AI, including organizing the effective transfer of modern innovative technologies from developments in the field of hypersonic weapons and weapons based on new physical principles, the introduction of biocognitive technologies, and the latest navigation, control, and communication systems [4].
