The military police will be responsible for maintaining discipline, conducting operational and investigative activities, and investigating war crimes. Its creation is necessary because Ukraine is the only country engaged in intense hostilities without such a force.
The Ministry of Defense described the duties of the Military Police, including maintaining military discipline, operational and investigative activities and investigations into war crimes. Writes UNN with reference to ArmyInform.
According to Ilya Kostin, the Defense Ministry's commissioner for military police, the main tasks of the military police will include maintaining military discipline, conducting operational and investigative activities, and investigating war crimes. Additionally, the military police will protect the rights of servicemen and ensure the execution of sentences.
In other words, the functions of the HSC are expanded to include operational and investigative activities, and limited investigative activities are added. Only in relation to war crimes
He added that the creation of a military police is extremely necessary, as Ukraine is the only country in the world that is engaged in intense hostilities and does not have a specialized military unit with law enforcement powers.
Recall
The Verkhovna Rada has passed in the first reading a draft law that provides for the creation of a military police in Ukraine with law enforcement functions to ensure law and order, military discipline and prevention of offenses in the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces and the State Special Transport Service.
