Abstract

The article is devoted to the issue of prosecution for corruption criminal offenses committed during the legal regime of martial law, as well as prevention of these offenses. The relevance of the problem, as well as the object and subject of the research are outlined. Various sources were used for the analysis, including legislative acts, scientific publications and reports.

The article provides a rationale for the most important task of Ukrainian society in the conditions of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, namely, the preservation of statehood and territorial integrity, taking into account the challenges that came with the war, and is a serious problem of the stability and security of society, a threat to the stability of legal institutions, democratic values and the rule of law. Special attention is drawn to corruption, which to this day remains one of the most complex and still unsolved problems in Ukraine, and also, along with war, serves as a threat to the security stability of the state, the development of democracy and the preservation of ethical values.

The rationale for the need to introduce the best international practices, standards and rules, which will allow strengthening the legal and regulatory regimes in the fight against corruption, as well as preserve the gains made by Ukraine in the prevention of corruption in peacetime, is presented. Further steps in the fight against corruption are proposed, which consist in realizing the need for a maximum revision of regulatory acts through the prism of the existing situation, and developing a basis for effective post-war legislation with the aim of not bringing corruption to a permanent level, but realizing its destructive effect.

The article also considers ways of systematizing the current legislation regarding the approach to understanding corruption crimes and responsibility for them during the legal regime of martial law. In addition, the article reflects the dynamics of anti-corruption indicators in Ukraine in recent years and the development of state anti-corruption institutions.
