Today, there is an acute problem of negative natural phenomena such as climate change, pole displacement, pollution of the oceans, and the greenhouse effect. The work is devoted to the analysis of the problems of the ecological situation in Ukraine, as a component of the functioning of the country's economy and its monitoring. The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between the development of the Ukrainian economy and the deterioration of the environmental situation. The article explains why emissions of pollutants worsen the state of natural capital, the quality of which affects the functioning of industrial production, agriculture and other economically important industries. A map of the state of air pollution in the world in 2020 was built. The place of Ukraine in the ranking of European countries in terms of the average indicator of air pollution in 2020 is indicated. The main ways and causes of pollution of the World Ocean waters are described. A map of plastic pollution of the World Ocean has been built. A cluster analysis of the regions of Ukraine was carried out according to 10 indicators of 2019, reflecting the ecological state of the regions and regional policy in relation to the preservation of natural resources, public health, reducing the danger from total environmental pollution. To determine the influence of the ecological state in the country on the development of the economy, a correlation-regression analysis of the relationship between these factors and the GDP of Ukraine, as one of the most important macroeconomic indicators, was carried out. The analysis showed a high correlation of GDP with such indicators as emissions of pollutants into the air from stationary sources of pollution, capital investments in environmental protection, current costs for measures to protect the environment, discharge of polluted wastewater into surface water bodies. It was determined that the unoccupied territory of the Donetsk region has the worst indicators of the ecological state. Indeed, in the unoccupied territory of Donetsk region there are 4 thermal power plants, the main types of industry in the region are coal mining, coke-chemical, chemical production and metallurgy, which are environmentally hazardous.
