Summary/Abstract: The maintenance of martial law, as well as the realities of life during war, require the legislator’s response it in various areas of life, in particular in matters of regulation of criminal and legal relations. In this respect, a significant number of changes and additions were made to the Criminal Code of Ukraine in response to the challenges that arose in connection with the war. In particular, new types of crimes were introduced (e.g. collaboration – Article 1111), the statutory features of several of the existing ones were modified (e.g. Article 361), and sanctions for certain crimes were increased if they were committed during martial law (e.g. Article 111 item 2).
