The paper examines the consideration of the problem of sustainable development in crises (including in the war and the postwar period). It evaluates how sustainable development research is changing and what tools modifications are needed for mathematical modelling these processes in this case. The author considers the examples of possible transformation of such problems in current conditions. The proposed research is based on the previous work of the authors on sustainable development, modelling of social and economic systems, and problems in education and science. In particular, the possibility of applying models from the class of ordinary differential equations, their systems, cellular automata, neural networks, multiagent systems, system dynamics and network theory, various databases and geographic information systems is emphasized. The approach’s main feature is to consider the possibility of formalizing the proposed sustainable development tasks, especially in crisis conditions. As a result of research and development, new knowledge was gained about the relevant processes, problem statements and the choice of mathematical models and methods for their study. The offered research and developments will help to consider specific tasks of sustainable development of functioning of Ukraine, including functions of education and science and many other things. Such research will help ensure the sustainable development of Ukraine in light of the conditions of war. Among the sections of the concept of sustainable development, an important place is taken by the influence of the role and impact of the human factor on the behaviour of large social systems. This can be addressed as conditionally questions of mentality. Among them, archetypal issues are essential. The archetype can be conditionally called the field of research, which considers the deep structures of consciousness, their stability and possible changes. In times of crisis, investigation into the influence of mental constructions and their possible changes is becoming increasingly important.
