The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine requires a developed financial, political and economic strategy. In turn, the latter should be strengthened by effective legal regulation. The aim of the article was to study of the possibility of using international cooperation enshrined in relevant treaties as one of the factors for further development of public administration in Ukraine and law as an effective factor in its post-war reconstruction. The study used formal logical, comparative legal and legal hermeneutic methods. Highlited the need to bridge the gap between legal goals and results of public administration in the context of European integration and post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. At the same time, international treaties signed by Ukraine and domestic projects being developed in the country to regulate the public administration sector, as well as Ukraineʼs fulfilment of its obligations under them, play an important role. First and foremost, we are talking about those related to economic issues, namely the functioning of the energy sector, which has suffered the most from the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. This task can be accomplished by expanding the areas of cooperation between Ukraine and other states, as well as by strengthening forecasting and analytical activities to overcome possible risks in this sector. This will help ensure effective legal regulation in this area. It is also necessary to clearly define the boundaries of Ukraineʼs international cooperation and develop an appropriate legal framework for the adoption and implementation of the necessary legislation in the economic and administrative spheres, taking into account Ukraineʼs national interests in post-war reconstruction. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that it proposes steps to improve the legal regulation of public administration in the period of post-war reconstruction in the context of implementation of an important international legal agreement
