Abstract

The article deals with the causes, the grounds and the results of the introduction of a martial law in Ukraine. The author analyzes the activities of the President of Ukraine regarding the implementation of the powers in this area.

Having analyzed the grounds for introducing the martial law in Ukraine, which are contained in the Law of Ukraine «On the Legal Status of Military Status», we can conclude that they existed already from 2014. In addition, the reasons for the introduction of martial law in the first years of aggression against Ukraine were more weighty. Therefore, the state of the war was to be introduced in a timely manner and on motives for protecting vital national interests from the threats existed on the part of the Russian Federation. Those changes that took place in different spheres of the state’s vital activity after the introduction of the military state did not affect the functioning and further development of our state, and therefore it confirms the possibility of introducing a martial law at an earlier stage of Russian aggression.
