Resume
The problems of creating and using a system of indicators of regional sustainable development are considered, which testified to the lack of a unified view on the system of indicators of sustainable development. The main shortcomings in creating a very simplified and very expanded system of indicators are identified. The proposed system of indicators takes into account a compromise between complexity and simplification, however, it contains an original list of indicators, which, in the opinion of the authors, takes into account the most important functions of regional security, including shadow and new innovative indicators.
To solve the problem of the absence (1.5 years of delay, and during the war – their complete absence) of macro indicators and the immediate need to take them into account during martial law, a method of “analogous-similar” forecasting of regional macro indicators of GRP, air defense of the region and types of industrial activity is proposed.
A distinctive feature of the study is the scientific substantiation of the limits of safe existence, without the knowledge of which it is impossible to protect the vital interests of the security object. Comparison of the dynamics of indicators and integral indices with similar threshold values translates the concept of “development” into the concept of “security”, which provides scientific justification for further identification of the current situation and development of strategic scenarios for entering the trajectory of sustainable development.

Keywords
sustainable development, regional indicators, shadowing, innovation, security dimension, forecasting, integral index.
