According to the Constitution of Ukraine, the territory of the state is integral and inviolable.

Liability under Article 110 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine

According to Article 110 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine implies the following responsibility:

• Restriction of freedom for up to 3 years.
• Imprisonment for up to 3 years.
• Repeated commission of the specified actions or with a prior conspiracy (by a group of persons) by representatives of the authorities - restriction/deprivation of liberty for a period of up to 5 years.
• The actions taken above, which led to serious consequences, in particular, the death of people - deprivation of liberty for a term of 7 to 12 years.

Let us consider in more detail the objective and subjective side of the crime under Article 110 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Let's start with the objective side of the crime under Article 110 of the Criminal Code. These are active actions that can take the following forms:

• Actions aimed at changing the boundaries of the territory or state border of Ukraine.
• Calls for such actions.
• Distribution of materials that contain calls for actions related to the change of territory.

The subjective side of the crime is guilt in the form of direct intent. A characteristic feature is the presence of a clearly defined goal, namely the change of the state border of Ukraine.

Article 110, part two, clearly states 4 qualifying features that lead to increased responsibility for encroachment on the inviolability and territorial integrity of Ukraine:

• Committing criminal acts by a person who is a representative of the authorities.
• Repeated actions. Repetition of crimes is the commission of two or more criminal acts, which are provided for in Article 110.
• Actions by a group of persons based on a prior conspiracy. We are talking about a form of complicity. It is often used by the legislator as a sign that can burden responsibility.
• Actions combined with incitement of enmity on the background of nationalities and religious affiliation.

Assistance of professional lawyers under Article 110 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine

Quite often, cases under Article 110 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine are falsified in order to fight against political opponents. If this is indeed the case and it is a case of forgery, our professional lawyers will be able to prove it.

For example, in relation to Article 110 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, it is very important that all forms of crime are committed by a person who is aware of the socially dangerous nature of the actions regarding the territory/state border of Ukraine.

In other cases, it may be a legal error. A legal error is a reflection of a person's ignorance of the criminal law. However, this, as a rule, does not affect the guilt of a person and does not exclude the occurrence of criminal liability.

In practice, a legal error appears quite often in a more complex form. This is due to the fact that we are talking about practical difficulties in determining the legal content of certain concepts.
