Introduction. During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, numerous industrial facilities were ruined, while food production in the occupied territories was stopped. This led to multifaceted consequences both for the overall food security of the world and for the Ukrainian food industry, as well as for the historical traditions of this industry. Despite the efforts of enterprises to update production, many losses are irreversible. Materials and methods. The methodology is based on the use of comparative research and contextual analysis. Results and discussion. The russian invasion of Ukraine is a tough challenge in the history of Europe in the 21st century. Although world politics is still hesitant to call it World War III, it is clear that this is a renewal of the Cold War and a great threat to the issue of global nuclear security, as well as global food security. World trade is a single system with mutually influencing, complex relationships, and Ukraine occupies an important place in it. Government policies regarding food safety have always been an integral part of a given country's survival strategy. Historical parallels are crucial for assessing changes in food safety from the 20th century to the very beginning of the 21st - in accordance with new political maps, trade routes, and the development of modern technologies. It is hard to estimate all the losses because of occupied territories and the fact that the war goes on and the situation is unstable. Another crucial question is losses in the case of brands that are the face and proud of Ukrainian food industry. Their traditions, technologies, and sales markets were distinguished achievements during the years of Ukrainian Independence. What is important to realize, this article is a short note only to show a long-term perspective of future historical research on the verge of industrial history, genocide history, and the history of post-colonial studies. Conclusions. The question of losses during the russian invasion in the Ukrainian food industry is an immediate part of common food safety in the world. Sustainable development of the food industry, uninterrupted supply of food products never should be a question of political or war manipulation.
