Purpose. To study the dynamics of the formation and structure of national varietal plant resources under martial law. Methods. General scientific methods were used throughout the research, including the formulation of hypotheses, observation and the search of the source database with elements of extrapolation, analysis, comparative evaluation and synthesis to draw conclusions. Results. An analysis of the State Register of Plant Varieties Suitable for Distribution in Ukraine in 2022–24 revealed that France (446), the United States (334), Germany (286) and the Netherlands (151) submitted the most applications among foreign countries. The most popular crop groups were cereals, grains, industrial crops, vegetables, oilseeds and fiber. The most active companies were Pioneer Overseas Corporation (USA), Limagrain Europe (France), Syngenta Crop Protection AG (Switzerland) and KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA (Germany), and Rijk Zwaan Zaadteelt en Zaadhandel B.V. (the Netherlands). Conclusion. Despite the large-scale war unleashed by Russia, foreign companies are still showing significant interest in registering varieties in Ukraine. During the review period, a positive trend emerged in the number of applications filed under the simplified procedure, with their share of the total number of registrations increasing. The State Register of Plant Varieties Suitable for Distribution in Ukraine successfully included all varieties recognised in the EU and USA that had been examined under the simplified procedure. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the latter for Ukrainian farmers, who will have quick access to some of the world's best breeding achievements.
