The increase in the number of enemy shelling of Ukraine causes human casualties, the destruction of buildings, and environmental disasters. Investigators are investigating hundreds of criminal offenses related to the conduct of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine. Undoubtedly, military investigations and war crimes require the application of modern innovative criminalistics knowledge. Criminal proceedings for these types of criminal offenses have been investigated since 2014. Despite the fact that there is a certain experience of investigation and a certain established practice, today, based on the huge number of these criminal offenses, it is necessary to increase the effectiveness of their investigation. The problems of the investigation of military criminal offenses are highlighted in the works of scientists G.K. Avdeeva, V.V. Bilousa, E.B. Simakova-Efremyan, V.Yu. Shepitka and other scientists. That is why today it is important to review the innovative areas of criminalistics used in the investigation of military criminal offenses. In the legal literature, the problems of using helicopters in the investigation of projectile hits in buildings, warehouses, industrial zones, etc. are considered. Of course, this is a forensic development that is very necessary for inspections of destroyed buildings in large areas. Innovative criminalistics knowledge is used in the investigation of military criminal offenses in the form of involving forensic experts and in the form of conducting forensic examinations. However, there are certain difficulties in realizing the possibilities of conducting forensic examinations, in particular, and inviting foreign specialists. Of course, modern achievements in the field of forensic expertise and criminalistics are used during investigative (search) actions, covert investigative (search) actions. During the inspection of the scene of the incident in one of the districts of Kharkiv, where oil leaked into the river as a result of an enemy attack, an inspection of huge soil areas and water bodies was carried out. Specialists were involved in the selection of samples for conducting various types of forensic examinations. An engineering and environmental examination was appointed. Therefore, in the conditions of war, the investigator cannot do without the use of special knowledge and the introduction of innovations, as in the investigation of military criminal offenses. It is proposed to consider the use of innovative criminalistics knowledge in the form of involving forensic experts and conducting forensic examinations, and in the form of inviting specialists to investigative (search) actions.
