Abstract

Abstract. The article analyzes the objective side of the criminal offense provided for in Art. 407 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine "Unwillingly leaving a military unit or place of corps". The signs characterizing two forms of action are identified: voluntary leaving a military unit or place of corps; failure to appear on time without valid reasons for duty. It is substantiated that voluntary leaving a military unit or place of corps or failure to report to duty on time, committed under martial law or in a combat situation, cannot be considered forms of the objective side of this criminal offense. The expediency of considering "martial law" and "combat situation" as circumstances aggravating responsibility is argued. As a conclusion, the signs of the objective side of the criminal offense provided for in Art. 407 of the Criminal Code: an act that is expressed in two forms; the way, place and time of its commission.
