INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT FOR UNITS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD OF UKRAINE: ISSUES OF LEGAL REGULATION

Andrii Danylevskyi — 2024-07-29

On the basis of the conducted analysis, a conclusion is made about the proper normalization of the activities of the intelligence units of the National Guard of Ukraine in a special period (including during the period of martial law). During this period, units of the National Guard of Ukraine may be involved by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to perform military intelligence tasks and functions. In this case, the intelligence agency is the initiator of the intelligence activities, and units of the National Guard of Ukraine can conduct military intelligence at the tactical level on their own initiative. Giving the National Guard of Ukraine the powers of an intelligence agency in peacetime seems impractical, and the key to effective intelligence support during this period is to improve interaction with intelligence agencies and ways to exchange intelligence information.
