69 Given today's challenges and threats, Ukraine must increase the use of AI in the military-technical sphere. Actively cooperate with partner countries, conduct its own scientific research, create new or improve existing technological solutions in order to strengthen the military component and be always ready to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity. A unique operation codenamed ―Web‖, successfully conducted by the Security Service of Ukraine on June 1, 2025 at (5) five military airfields deep in russia ( Siberia ), demonstrated the benefits of AI. After all, drones flew out of containers with the help of trucks, destroying and damaging 41 strategic reconnaissance aircraft that bombed Ukrainian cities, including A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22 M3. Thus, the strengthening of the economy of Ukraine, as well as military power, is impossible to imagine without proper financing of the social block, in particular education, since this industry is a significant tool of social development. After all, in the peaceful life of any country, education is defined as one of the fundamental steps for achieving significant socio-economic development of the country. In conditions of war, financing of education, as well as other sectors of social orientation, as confirmed by the results of our study is quite problematic. Since the war continues, and therefore defense spending is a higher priority than social. In our opinion, in conditions of limited financial resources, financing education should nevertheless become one of the priority areas of budget policy, since today the foundation of human capital is being laid, and therefore of future social development. First of all, it is necessary to attract powerful financial capital, and to do this, develop effective mechanisms to stimulate Western investors to invest in the Ukrainian economy, including for the reconstruction of housing, social, energy, and critical infrastructure. The development and modernization of social infrastructure, financing of such sectors as healthcare and education will have a positive impact on the return of Ukrainians from abroad, as well as the development of related sectors, in particular science and scientific and technical activities, the creation of high-tech products, and the overall growth of human capital and social wealth.
