The article deals with the current state and problems of the main work directions in regional geological research of the Ukraine territory – the geological additional research of previously studied areas and creation of the State Geologiсal Map of 1:200 000 scale. The analysis of the new generation of State Geological Maps certifies that, compared to the first generation maps (1958–1974), they differ much informatively and scientifically substantiated and are the basic geological basis for planning and conducting of almost all types of geological exploration, geoengineering, geo-ecological, hydrogeological and mining works. The emphasis is placed on the fundamental foundations of scientific and methodological support of continuously developing and updating works including stratigraphic, tectonic, geophysical, petrological, petrographic, laboratory-analytical and geoinformation bases. It is shown that due to the miserable financing of works from the State budget, the current state of regional geological researches in Ukraine is critical.
