The combination of systemic problems and the destructive effect of hybrid aggression caused the deterioration of the state of Ukraine’s innovation security in 2005–2015, estimated using the method of the main components. In 2005–2015 the integral value of Ukraine’s innovation security decreased from 0.166 to 0.127. In conditions of external aggression, the main reasons that hinder the effective use of domestic innovation potential and the development of innovations as a factor of providing Ukraine’s innovative security are the following: the inconsistency of the state policy of stimulating the development of innovation activity, the lack of funding of science is reinforced by the irrational distribution of budget support for scientific works, the low level of diversification of markets and innovation cooperation, the slowness of the implementation of international standards of production quality at domestic enterprises.
