Border Service of Ukraine (SBSU) during martial law. Corruption poses a significant risk to national
security, the efficiency of public resource management, economic development, and the stability of
government. The legal definition of corruption refers to the use of official powers to obtain an unlawful

that hinder the successful fight against corruption in the state structures of Ukraine are investigated, and

This article analyzes the concept of «corruption» as a complex phenomenon that negatively affects all aspects of social life and consciousness, undermining the foundations of social values and state authority. The authors draw attention to the lack of a single definition of corruption in international documents, which calls for a deeper analysis and understanding of corruption.

The problem of corruption is important for many countries because corruption undermines trust in the government, violates the rule of law and leads to socio-economic inequality in the country. In different spheres of society, manifestations of corruption can be observed. Overcoming corruption in the educational environment is an extremely urgent problem since corruption is incompatible with the main purpose of education - to educate and encourage young people to the correct civic position, patriotism, respect for laws and human rights.

The article examines the criminal-legal characterization of criminal offenses related to corruption in Ukraine. Corruption has a high level of latency, it hinders reform efforts, causes significant harm, and negatively affects Ukraine's reputation in international relations. The main risk on the path to European integration lies in how willing the government structures and leadership of the country are to fulfill their obligations and meet the expectations that exist in society today.

Preventing and combating corruption is one of the main tasks of the state. It should be noted that the war is another reason to fight this negative phenomenon. Unfortunately, Ukraine has an insufficient level of countering and preventing corruption, as statistical studies show that its scale is not decreasing. Therefore, public authorities need to pay special attention to improving anti-corruption mechanisms and measures to ensure the quality and safe functioning of public policy for the benefit of Ukrainian society.

The history of the adoption of anti-corruption legislation regarding the creation of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine as the main means of combating corruption is considered. It was found that the history of the emergence of anti-corruption bodies began after the Revolution of Dignity, when Ukrainian society initiated a series of changes that had a fundamental impact on their creation. 

Also, the impetus for the creation of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine was the demands of the international world community and, in particular, Ukraine's obligations to the EU. 

The research paper examines and carries out atheoretical generalization of the scientific importance of various historical and legal views on the concepts and features of the administrative-legal and coordination function of the state based on the analysis of achievements in the legal doctrine of administrative law. The problematic aspects of historical-legal and administrative-legal provisions of the coordination between the entities of the corruptioncounteraction are analyzed in the article.

This article addresses the key points and issues related to the conduct of administrative corruption cases. After all, the responsibility for and counteraction to corruption and corruption-related offenses continues to be one of the elements of the anti-corruption system. At the same time, an important component of this mechanism are the rules that establish responsibility for committing not only acts of corruption, but also different from acts of corruption, which are the background phenomena that cause corruption, and therefore counteract both legal and law enforcement levels.
