It is indicated under martial law. The Constitution of Ukraine allows the introduction of specific restrictions on rights and freedoms with a mandatory definition of their term of validity. The Land Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On Land Lease» and other regulatory legal acts regulate the acquisition and exercise of land rights of citizens, in particular the right of ownership of land (private and lifelong hereditary possession), the right to land use (permanent use, lease of land plots), rights to land plots of third parties (easement, emphyteusis, superficies), rights to a land share (share) and others. This article is devoted to analysing the legal status of land in Ukraine during martial law During martial law in Ukraine, relations in the field of land use have undergone significant changes in order to ensure national security and defence. Although constitutional rights to land ownership remain in force, they may be restricted in accordance with the law. The government has provided land to military units for the protection of borders and other defence infrastructure. Land use rights may be transferred without the owner’s consent during martial law, subject to certain compensation requirements. Land administration and surveying for state needs have been simplified, and rent payments may be deferred for up to six months after the end of martial law. State registration of land rights continues, especially for displaced persons and residents of conflict-affected areas, under an expedited procedure. New laws allow state and municipal land to be quickly leased to displaced enterprises without auction and with limited lease terms. Restrictions on citizens’ land rights include requisition, restrictions on ownership, use, privatisation and access to information about land. Future land market activities should be consistent with the long-term agricultural development strategy. Legal restrictions during martial law are intended to balance security needs and property rights, but failure to comply with them may result in punishment. After the end of martial law, the land market is expected to gradually return to normal, with mechanisms for compensation for losses and ensuring transparency and openness in land use, especially in de-occupied territories. It remains extremely important for individuals and businesses to stay informed and seek legal assistance to navigate these changes.
