The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has severe consequences, and the problem of food security has become global. In the current geopolitical conditions, as a strategic element of national security, food security does not fully provide the government and its population with affordable food. Also, it does not form a favorable socio-economic climate in society. Geopolitical conditions dictate their own rules, and for all governments, the solution to the food crisis is of paramount importance. After all, both warring countries are vital suppliers of agricultural products, and the ongoing conflict further highlights the fragility of global food supply chains: both important players are effectively out of the market for a while. Thus, the relevance of the topic of this study is caused by the need to develop scientific approaches and theoretical foundations of food security in conjunction with the categories of national security, as well as an integrated approach to the study of the conceptual apparatus of the food security system in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The above-stated leads to the goals of the study, which are to determine the places of food safety in the structure of national security in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The result of the study is an analysis of the state of food security in geopolitical conditions and a survey of the theoretical aspects of food security in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Conclusions: Since the issue of ensuring food security in the context of geopolitical processes in connection with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has not been sufficiently studied, the results obtained during the study will become a sign?f???nt find for researchers, ?n?l?sts, and practitioners in the field of international relations and world politics.
