Abstract. The article extensively explores the issue of corruption within the Armed Forces of Ukraine and identifies various factors contributing to its prevalence. Among these factors, significant importance is attributed to inadequate salaries for military personnel, instability of the legal framework, insufficient control mechanisms, and low levels of ethical consciousness among military leadership. The analysis conducted demonstrates that these factors pose serious challenges in the sphere of corruption prevention within the structures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 

The article examines the criminal-legal characterization of criminal offenses related to corruption in Ukraine. Corruption has a high level of latency, it hinders reform efforts, causes significant harm, and negatively affects Ukraine's reputation in international relations.
