The research is aimed at the structural factor analysis which cause the disturbance, contamination and degradation of land and the determination of the rationalization trends of land use and conservation considering the fighting in Ukraine. The legislation on the disturbed, contaminated and degraded land from the perspective of their utilization has been analyzed.  The key processes causing land contamination, reasons for land degradation, measures on land degradation prevention and reducing its consequences have been singled out. The results can be implemented at the planning of measures on land use and conservation at the current stage and post-war reconstruction, as well as in the future research.
