Abstract

The article's primary focus is on the doctrinal and legal characteristics of the types of administrative responsibility of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with a particular emphasis on the security and financial aspects. The authors noted that the large-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the necessity of ensuring the combat readiness and effectiveness of the Defence Forces in general, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine in particular, in protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, are key factors in highlighting the need to strengthen military discipline. Additionally, they emphasised the importance of establishing an effective mechanism to maintain the proper moral and psychological state of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, especially under special conditions, such as martial law. In addressing these challenges, the institution of administrative responsibility for military personnel plays a significant role. Methodology. The research methodology is determined by the defined goal and set tasks and includes various methods of scientific knowledge, approaches, and actions aimed at obtaining new scientific results of determining the administrative responsibility of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During the research, a range of methods were employed, including general and specific methods of scientific knowledge, the method of systematic analysis, the dialectical method, formal-logical methods, structural-functional and comparative-legal methods, as well as several empirical methods. These methods were used to determine the doctrinal and legal principles of administrative responsibility of military servicemen and to identify directions for their improvement, as well as their impact on security and economic phenomena in the state. Conclusion. It has been established that careless destruction or damage to weapons, ammunition, means of transport, military and special equipment or other military property significantly harms the security and financial interests of the state. It is proposed to refer to the material burdens applied to servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for committing administrative offences with a pronounced negative economic impact. The following types of administrative responsibility of servicemen are characterised: general administrative responsibility, special administrative responsibility and mixed (administrative and disciplinary) responsibility of servicemen.
