Legislation
Proceedings against military personnel following AWOL require clear deadlines — UNBA
A soldier’s return to duty after AWOL does not necessarily mean the end of criminal proceedings. To ensure that the case does not remain at the pretrial investigation stage, a clear procedure for the investigator and prosecutor is required.
Legislation
The UNBA warned of the risk of customs barriers for Ukrainian paper and furniture
Ukraine’s anti-deforestation rules are intended to preserve export access to the EU market. However, without paper and furniture on the list of goods, without effective sanctions, and with enforcement beginning only in 2030, these rules could hinder that goal.
Legislation
Fines for loud exhaust — based on a standardized measurement method — UNBA
Measures to combat intentionally loud exhaust noises are justified, especially during wartime. However, as long as the law does not specify which noise standard to apply or how to measure it on the road, this new liability can be neither fair nor effective.
Guarantees of the practice of law
Guarantees for advocacy without protective measures: proposed changes to the codes
The current law sets forth the rights and guarantees of the legal profession, but lacks the tools to protect them. The future law on advocacy is intended to fill this gap through amendments to criminal, administrative and procedural legislation.

Living abroad doesn't sever your ties with Ukraine: what you should check
Moving to another country and even long-term residence abroad does not automatically sever an individual’s legal ties to Ukraine. Tax residency, sole proprietorship status, foreign income, enforcement proceedings, and military registration remain relevant even after relocation.
Legislation
Exceptions to the state prosecutor's representation in court must be consistent with the CCU's decision
To prevent the provisions of Article 23 of the Law «On the prosecutor’s office» from being declared unconstitutional again, the proposed amendments contained in the government’s draft law should be clarified.

How can an advocate defend a client whose data is processed by the Interpol system?
The absence of a last name on the Interpol website does not necessarily mean that no one is looking for that person. How can you find out exactly what information police databases in 196 countries hold about a client, and does the removal of a record mean that the problems are behind you?
Legislation
A bill implementing the Convention on the Protection of the Professions of Lawyer has been introduced
The constitutional guarantees of legal aid, defense, and the independence of advocacy cannot be realized without protecting advocates from unwarranted interference in their professional activities, including searches, the seizure of professional materials and the use of criminal procedural mechanisms to exert pressure.
