The article analyzes the legal regulation on the prevention of corruption in the activities of the State
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
benefit. In the context of martial law, the DPSU faced increased threats of corruption, in particular when
controlling the state border.
The article analyzes the main categories of anti-corruption legislation, including the prevention,
prevention, prevention and counteraction of corruption, and also examines measures that can effectively
reduce corruption risks in public administration. The main initiatives for the prevention of corruption
cover a wide range of legal, organizational and educational measures aimed at eliminating the causes and
conditions that can contribute to the commission of illegal actions.
Effective management and control of state borders becomes especially important during martial
law, when national security depends on the reliability of anti-corruption measures. In this context, the
improvement of the legislative framework regulating the activities of the State Border Service of Ukraine,
in particular regarding granting it the status of administrator of the Unified State Register of conscripts,
conscripts and reservists, is important for strengthening control and reducing corruption risks at the
border. Such changes will not only ensure more effective monitoring and compliance of border crossers
with military and legal obligations, but will also help prevent the illegal movement of people across the
border. These measures play a key role in ensuring the country’s internal stability and defense capability,
especially in the face of military threats. Updating the legislation will also strengthen the legality of border
service actions and increase their transparency, which is necessary to maintain citizens’ trust in state
institutions.
