Abstract
Abstract. The article extensively explores the issue of corruption within the Armed Forces of Ukraine and identifies various factors contributing to its prevalence. Among these factors, significant importance is attributed to inadequate salaries for military personnel, instability of the legal framework, insufficient control mechanisms, and low levels of ethical consciousness among military leadership. The analysis conducted demonstrates that these factors pose serious challenges in the sphere of corruption prevention within the structures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In order to effectively combat the aforementioned problem, the authors propose a series of specific measures and recommendations. Firstly, it is necessary to implement systemic changes in the realm of financial control, including enhancing transparency and accountability for the use of budgetary funds. Additionally, the development of an effective monitoring and auditing system is crucial to promptly identify instances of corruption. Furthermore, the authors recommend focusing on enhancing ethical culture among military personnel through the introduction of specialized programs and training on morality and professional ethics. It is also important to improve the system of internal control and discipline and ensure an adequate mechanism for rewarding dedicated service and fair punishment for corrupt violations. Moreover, the article emphasizes the need to improve mechanisms of accountability and transparency in the activities of military institutions. This entails the development and implementation of effective procedures for public reporting. Such an approach will contribute to increased openness and public confidence in military institutions, thereby reducing the risk of corruption schemes . In conclusion, it is worth noting that a comprehensive approach to preventing corruption within the Armed Forces of Ukraine is highly necessary today, and adherence to the recommendations laid out by the authors of the article could be a significant step in enhancing transparency and preventing corruption risks within the structures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Keywords: Armed Forces of Ukraine; corruption prevention; corruption risk; anti-corruption legislation.
