Despite the war, Ukraine consistently continues to implement important changes in institutions of higher education in order to create conditions for the effective rehabilitation of veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war with disabilities who acquire the status of students. The purpose of the work was to identify the state of implementation of physical rehabilitation and interrelationships in the implementation of complex rehabilitation of students of Russian-Ukrainian war veterans with disabilities in a higher education institution. Material and methods. The research involved implementation at the theoretical (literary sources, synthesis and generalization) and empirical (survey in the form of questionnaires, methods of mathematical statistics for processing questionnaire data) levels. All students (32 persons) who are involved in the research as respondents are veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war who received disabilities as a result of participation in hostilities. The results. It has been studied that the rehabilitation of disabled former combatants is a complex process that is accompanied by numerous obstacles and, therefore, complicated by many factors. Especially if it takes place in the space of a higher education institution and under martial law. It was found that the goal of complex rehabilitation of disabled veterans is to obtain an optimal level of work capacity, restoration of social activity, development and affirmation of personality. The relationship between the components of complex rehabilitation of veterans with disabilities in the conditions of study at a higher education institution and the impact of such rehabilitation on the physical and psychological state of veterans with disabilities and the state of social communication has been established. According to our analysis, there is a strong negative linear relationship between physical rehabilitation and the state of social (r-.720) and psychological rehabilitation (r-.803). Conclusions. Changes taking place now in higher education, and especially since the full-scale invasion of russia on the territory of Ukraine, are manifested in increased attention to the problems of comprehensive rehabilitation of veterans with disabilities in the process of obtaining an education. There is an established need today to create a modern system of comprehensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation in institutions of higher education, which should be aimed at ensuring the relatively independent life of students of Russian-Ukrainian veterans with disabilities.
