Оборонне планування на основі спроможностей в Україні: поточний стан і перспективи

Abstract

The main features and problematic issues of defense planning in Ukraine are considered in the article. Nowadays, in developed countries and in interstate integration alliances, especially in NATO, capability-based defense planning (CBDP) is becoming more widespread. Starting in 2017, this approach to defense planning has started in Ukraine as well. And this is natural, because the irreversibility of the European and Euro-Atlantic course of Ukraine is provided by the preamble of the Constitution of Ukraine. And the approved National Security Strategy of Ukraine declares that in order to strengthen the special partnership with NATO and gain full membership in this organization, Ukraine plans to: achieve in the shortest possible time sufficient compatibility of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the security and defense sector; significantly intensify the reforms that need to be implemented in order to meet the criteria for NATO membership. The implementation of CBDP is one of the components of the relevant reforms.It should be noted that the process of implementation of the CBDP institute in Ukraine is only at the initial stage and is characterized, on the one hand, by significant substantive uncertainty, and on the other – almost complete lack of legal regulation of relations in this important area. Based on the recognition of the chronological primacy of the first over the second, the task of eliminating substantive uncertainty is a priority for further research. Subject to its resolution, the relevant results should be enshrined in a special legislative act on defense planning, and the mechanisms for implementing the basic legislative requirements – in the bylaws, including those that will be approved by the Ministry of Defense and registered with the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.
