The article provides a general theoretical analysis of the legal status of military personnel and their family members in the context of modern challenges caused by armed aggression against Ukraine, the transformation of the national security system and the need to ensure proper social and legal protection of the specified category of persons. It is emphasized that the legal status of a military personnel is complex and includes both the general rights of a citizen of Ukraine and special rights, obligations, restrictions and guarantees arising in connection with military service. The author proves that this status is dynamic and depends on the type of service, its conditions (peace or wartime), changes in legislation and the practice of its implementation. The study clarifies the structure of the legal status of a military serviceman, which includes the general (constitutional), special (professional) and individual levels. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the restrictions that accompany military service, in particular the ban on participation in strikes, political parties, and entrepreneurial activity. The legal guarantees of the rights of military servicemen are revealed, including the right to judicial protection, legal assistance, social and pension security. The relevance of increasing the level of social protection of military servicemen under martial law is separately emphasized. The key problems of regulatory regulation are highlighted - the fragmentation of legislation, the vagueness of terminology, the lack of a comprehensive approach to determining the status of military personnel and their families. The emphasis is on the need to harmonize national legislation with international standards for the protection of human rights. The article also analyzes the legal status of family members of military personnel, determines its derivative, but independent nature. Attention is drawn to the gaps in the legislation related to the definition of the circle of persons entitled to social protection. It is proposed to clarify the definition of «family members of military personnel», in particular, with regard to persons who lived in one family without official marriage. The author emphasizes the need for legislative consolidation of an expanded list of subjects of social protection and stabilization of pension provision for persons discharged from military service.
