The theoretical part is devoted to defining basic concepts necessary for processing and analyzing the problem in the practical part. It also describes the development of the pandemic and the spread of the crisis both globally and in Ukraine. Furthermore, it describes the economy of Ukraine and its current situation. The practical part is based on the collection of primary data from the crisis and post-crisis period, collection of secondary data from the pre-crisis period, comparing the socio-economic indicators of Ukrainians and identifying the differences between selected Ukrainian regions.
