Resume
The article explores the role of the private sector as a driving force in the post-war recovery of Ukraine’s economy amid large-scale destruction and structural transformations caused by Russia’s military aggression. A comprehensive analysis of the current state of Ukraine’s private sector, its transformations during the period of 2022–2024, as well as an assessment of challenges and opportunities for entrepreneurship in the process of national economic recovery, has been conducted. Based on a synthesis of global  experiences in post-war economic recovery in Germany, Japan, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, effective approaches to engaging the private sector in economic recovery processes have been identified. A SWOT analysis has been used to formulate strategic directions for state policy in supporting entrepreneurship and involving businesses in economic recovery processes. The prospects for further scientific research on adapting Ukraine’s private sector to post-war recovery conditions are outlined.

Keywords
