Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive legal analysis of the regulatory and legal support for Ukraine's information security in the context of full-scale armed aggression by the Russian Federation. The main information threats are outlined - disinformation, cyberattacks, leakage of personal and official data, manipulation of the information space. The current regulatory and legal framework is analyzed, in particular the Law of Ukraine «On the Legal Regime of Martial Law» [1], scientific research by Ukrainian specialists and the practice of government bodies on information threats. Key gaps are identified and a set of changes in legislation, organizational mechanisms, procedural procedures and criminal law instruments for countering information risks is proposed. The need to ensure a balance between defense interests and guarantees of freedom of speech and the right to information is substantiated. In conditions of martial law, the problem of ensuring an appropriate balance between the need to protect national security, on the one hand, and compliance with constitutional rights and freedoms of a person, on the other, becomes particularly relevant. Freedom of speech, the right to information, the right to privacy and protection of personal data, freedom of expression – all these fundamental rights are significantly affected by restrictions due to military necessity. The state is forced to resort to special legal regimes, limit certain information processes, establish control over the dissemination of information that may harm defense capability and security. At the same time, excessive or unjustified restrictions can lead to violations of human rights, abuse of power, and narrowing of democratic freedoms. That is why the issue of legal support for information security in wartime acquires special theoretical and practical significance. It covers both the problems of regulatory and legal regulation of the activities of subjects of information relations, and the issues of implementing and protecting citizens' information rights, the functioning of the media, liability for information offenses, and the fight against disinformation and information sabotage. Special attention also needs to be paid to harmonizing national legislation with international standards in the field of human rights and information security, in particular the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights, the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the recommendations of international organizations.
