The full-scale war in Ukraine began on 24 February 2022 and quickly led to hostilities in the frontline and bordering (FLB) oblasts (regions) in the south and eastern part of the country, as well as in the northern region near the border with the Russian Federation.
These FLB oblasts (including Chernihivska, Sumska, Kharkivska, Dnipropetrovska, Donetska, Zaporizka, Khersonska, Mykolaivska, Odeska, and Luhanska oblast) accounting for over 95 percent of the recorded conflict events, have suffered the most direct infrastructural damage, displacement, and economic devastation. This study provides an in-depth analysis of food security and livelihoods in the FLB oblasts, with a particular focus on agricultural livelihoods.
