Abstract

Introduction. In the context of russian military aggression against Ukraine, scientific research and the study of general patterns and characteristics of the administrative and legal support of the state's defense are of great importance. Ensuring the defense of Ukraine is complicated not only by actual military actions and significant financial costs, but also by the need for socio-economic reforms, including defense reforms. Under these circumstances, the fulfillment of constitutional functions for the defense of Ukraine, the protection of its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the existence of an effective defense system become priorities, which is the main condition for guaranteeing territorial integrity and national sovereignty. The goal is to clarify the principles of administrative and legal support for the defense of the state. Methods: Theoretical and general scientific (analysis, synthesis, systematization), empirical method.
