Abstract

From the beginning of the armed aggression of the russian federation on the territory of Ukraine, 13 changes and additions have been amended to the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, that were related to the transformation of various institutions of the criminal process, and in particular the institution of detention. The conducted analysis made it possible to understand that the detention of a person by an authorized official without a decision of an investigating judge in conditions of martial law is carried out in accordance with the general procedure specified in Art. 208-213 of the CPC of Ukraine, taking into account the features established by Art. 615 of the CPC of Ukraine.
 It has been established that the list of grounds for detention under martial law, compared to peacetime, is extended, as the possibility of detaining a person not only on the grounds specified in Art. 208 of the CPC of Ukraine, as well as in cases where there are grounds to believe that a person suspected of committing any type of crime may escape with the aim of evasion of criminal responsibility. It has been proven that the application of these normative sentences is conditioned by the effect of martial law and, accordingly, the moment and circumstances of the crime. This ground, in particular, can be used to justify the detention of a person suspected of collaborative activity, violation of the laws and customs of war, creation of paramilitary or armed groups not provided by law, as well as "non-military crimes", etc.
 The right to detain a person in the conditions of martial law, as well as in peacetime, is granted to an authorized official, that is, a person who is authorized by law to carry out detention, in particular, employees of the Security Service of Ukraine; military personnel, as well as employees of the State Border Service of Ukraine; servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine; a policeman; employees of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine; to authorized officials of the State Bureau of Investigation and others. The need to improve the legislative provisions of the Laws of Ukraine "On the Security Service of Ukraine", "On the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine", "On the State Bureau of Investigation" regarding the clear authorization of the employees of the SSU, NACB, SBI to detain persons suspected of committing crimes was emphasized.
