Аналіз і шляхи удосконалення територіальної оборони України
Abstract
The article suggests some ways to improve the territorial defense system ofUkraine, determined on the basis of analyzing the effectiveness of the existing system and studying the experience of other countries of the world. The continuation of the hybrid war on theterritoryofUkraine, as well as the constant buildup of the forces of the aggressor at the borders of the state, requires an adequate response to strengthen the state’s defense system. The territorial defense system plays an important role in this. It can provide solutions to many defense tasks and requires significantly less expenses than the use of regular military formations. The article analyzes the existing legal and regulatory acts that govern the organization and conduct of territorial defense. The analysis shows that they remain unfulfilled in full, which greatly complicates the work of the entire system of territorial defense as a whole. Article 18 “Territorial defense of Ukraine” of the Law of Ukraine “On Defense of Ukraine” does not fully implement the requirements regarding the definition of powers and the organization of interaction, which does not allow the subjects participating in territorial defense to realize their full potential. The article provides recommendations for further improving the regulatory framework. The path of increasing defense capability by deploying the territorial defense system was chosen by most countries of the world. The problem of improving the recruitment of territorial defense units is solved in various ways. A comparative analysis of the organization of the recruitment of personnel of the territorial defense system in various countries of the world suggests that Ukraine uses the low-cost, but also the least effective way of recruiting territorial defense units, which does not allow to achieve the required level of personnel training. Prepared proposals for improving the system of manning of the territorial defense forces of Ukraine, carrying out activities at the state level, contributing to improving the quality of selection of personnel.
