The purpose of this paper is to study the specifics of cluster functioning in the EU and Ukraine and to highlight the role of the state in clustering the Ukrainian economy. The lack of attention from the state to support clusters in Ukraine reduces the possibility of effective use of such an important tool for organising production in the context of military operations. The article defines the essence of a cluster as a form of production organisation and the advantages of their use in an unstable economy in Ukraine. The foreign experience of cluster economy formation is presented. The main problems of clustering of the Ukrainian economy are indicated. The key instruments of cluster policy are defined depending on the role of the state in the processes of economic clustering. The necessity of increasing the role of the state in these processes in Ukraine is substantiated. As tools for clustering management, the list of certain support measures by regional and municipal governments in Ukraine is provided.
