THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THE WAR IN UKRAINE ON WORLD LOGISTICS
Abstract
The article is devoted to identifying aspects that influenced international logistics operations during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and the war in Ukraine. International logistics is a functional area of logistics aimed at optimizing the flow of goods beyond national economies. Certain barriers can hinder the fulfillment of international logistics tasks. Currently, global food supply chains are subject to disruptions of varying degrees, but it is land and air freight that is severely disrupted. The crisis caused an imbalance in cargo flows due to changes in demand, the cessation of production, and the introduction of restrictions. The main sides of dependence on particular states during both the COVID-19 outbreak and the war in Ukraine are identified. The impact of events in recent years on all modes of transport is analyzed. Possible options for future developments and the consequences that the world economy may face are outlined.
