THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE AS A SUBJECT OF COMBATING CRIMES AGAINST THE BASICS OF NATIONAL SECURITY OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the role of the prosecutor's office in countering crimes against the foundations of Ukraine's national security. In addition, there are characterized the relevant group of crimes, carried out the analysis of legislation and scientific developments, which characterize the relevant concepts of "national security" and "crimes against national security", their nature and role in the modern conditions of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. There are also considered the main tools that are available to the prosecutor's office in the framework of activities to counter the relevant category of crimes and protect the interests of the state, their importance and relevance in modern realities. Participation in criminal proceedings at all stages in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies is currently the most affordable way to involve the prosecutor's office. At the same time, the question arises in a way how important is the effectiveness of the activities carried out within the framework of each of the stages of criminal proceedings, starting from their opening to its subsequent execution. Also there is an example of such a crime. It indicates that such crimes are mostly committed with direct intent. In order to understand how urgent an issue of the appropriate counteraction to crimes against the foundations of national security is, there are analysed statistical data regarding the total number of open proceedings, the number of those brought to court, and the number in which the courts issued a verdict. The dependence of the number of committed crimes on the geographic location of the region was also revealed: the closer to the territory where hostilities are being waged or which were under occupation, the greater the number of open proceedings is.
