Military operations during the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine cause significant damage to the environment. Under these conditions, the concept of sustainable development is undergoing a transformation. The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the legal regulation of application of the principle of sustainable development as a basis of public administration for the protection of the environment in Slovakia and Ukraine and to prepare the proposals on its enhancement in Ukraine. At the international level, an effective mechanism for restoring Ukraine's environment, which has a global impact, is linked to mechanisms of legal responsibility for acts of aggression, violations of the rules and customs of war, investigation of the circumstances of their commission and determination of the amount of compensation for damage caused in order to overcome the consequences of war. At the national level, environmental protection and sustainable development during the war lies in the area of national defence capability and the use of transitional justice instruments. The concrete internal legal mechanisms of the encouragement of the principle of sustainable development and protection of environment by the public administration entities in Ukraine during the military aggression and the post-war period are required.
