Due to the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, the life of every Ukrainian has changed forever. Many of our fellow citizens joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Unfortunately, in some cases, the rights of military personnel are violated. A military lawyer will help restore justice.

Among the main activities of a military lawyer:

• Consulting (both online and offline).
• Assistance to military personnel within the framework of current Ukrainian legislation.
• Legal assistance.
• Representation of interests in criminal court cases (desertion, failure to comply with an order, disobedience)

Servicemen of the Armed Forces may face a variety of problems: from the impossibility of obtaining financial assistance guaranteed by the state to the protection of the interests of a serviceman when committing criminal offenses in the course of his service. Legislation in this field is quite complex, with its procedural features. Far from everyone can think of a truly optimal algorithm of actions to solve the situation that has arisen, especially in criminal cases involving military personnel during the war.

Among the characteristic features of war crimes:

• The subject is a military serviceman.
• The object of the infringement is the procedure for carrying out/passing military service established by the current Ukrainian legislation.
• Criminal wrongdoing. The act is recognized as a war crime if it is provided for by Chapter XIX of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
