Stany nadzwyczajne w porządku konstytucyjnym Ukrainy — stan wojenny 2018 roku

In this publication, the author analyzes legal norms concerning extraordinary states in the Constitution of Ukraine. The problems are examined based on Ukrainian and foreign constitutional and statutory solutions. In the Constitution, the Ukrainian constitutional legislator specified the fundamental principles of the legal system related to the functioning of the state in extraordinary situations. In the paper, the following are discussed: state of emergency, state of war, state of natural disaster and martial law. Unfortunately, the development of armed conflict techniques and the officially undeclared war of the Russian Federation and its mercenaries against Ukraine enforce multiple law amendments. Currently, Russian authorities violate multiple human rights in the territory of Ukraine. Particularly noteworthy is the analysis of legal norms and a description of martial law, which was introduced in 2018 in 10 oblasts (provinces) of Ukraine as well as the reasons for its introduction. The discussed problems are a manifestation of the diplomacy crisis. The current manifestations of the destruction of international trust also affect the security of Poland and all of the Central-Eastern Europe.
