The article examines the impact of military action in the east of the country on the trends of future specialists in the field of psychology with younger scholars. This problem is quite relevant today, as a large number of parents with children have been forced to leave the eastern regions of the country. However, there are now areas of work that are currently being mastered by student psychologists. Also, the article presents areas for improving professional skills given the geopolitical situation within the country. Ways to improve the professional training of students are offered. It is no secret that Ukrainian society is experiencing a period of crisis, which is associated with many factors. One of the most important factors is the armed conflict in the east of our country. It is bitter that this action has divided not only society and politicians, but also families. With statistics from the UN, we can say that there are now about 1.198 million migrants from the eastern region of the country. Of these, about 253 thousand children, and how many are left there? How many children do not have the opportunity to see their relatives, play with peers or even go to school? And how many of them know what war is. It is safe to say that they have had a terrible childhood, because the hybrid war has left them no chance for happy years in safety and peace. About 250 children have died in the east since the beginning of 2014. We should not forget that the districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts are one of the busiest in terms of the number of explosives and mines in the world. The children who stayed there, and there are more than 220,000 of them, do not even have the opportunity to play quietly on the playgrounds, because they are mined. This is only according to the UN. We can only focus on these figures, not state with confidence. In addition to these data, during the anti-terrorist operation and environmental protection, human rights activists recorded at least a dozen cases when military facilities and facilities of armed groups were located within 500 meters from kindergartens and schools, or directly on their territory. Such circumstances are not psychologically favorable for children, so we wonder how a modern practical psychologist can positively influence and help them achieve a normal life.
