Research methods. Legal analysis allowed for a detailed study of the regulatory framework governing the martial law regime, as well as the mechanisms for introducing additional administrative sanctions.

The systematic approach provided consideration of the components of public order in their interrelation, which made it possible to assess their impact on ensuring the stability of society and national security. Empirical analysis contributed to determining the consequences of violations of public order, as well as assessing the effectiveness of administrative sanctions introduced during the period of martial law.

The legal aspects of regulating public order are revealed, its significance for ensuring stability and national security in conditions of armed aggression. Special attention is paid to the characteristics of the composition of the offense, the main components of public order and their role in maintaining public peace, as well as the specificity of administrative sanctions and restrictions on constitutional rights during the period of the legal regime of martial law, which is necessary for effective counteraction to threats to national security and ensuring control over public relations.

The legal framework regulating the martial law regime has been analyzed, in particular the introduction of additional administrative sanctions, such as increasing fines, tightening the conditions of administrative arrest, and introducing new offenses.

Conclusions. Maintaining public order under martial law is critical to ensuring the stability and security of society. The introduction of additional administrative sanctions, restrictions on the constitutional rights of citizens, and increased control over the behavior of citizens allows for effective counteraction to threats to national security. The analysis of the legal framework has shown that strengthening administrative liability measures is justified in the context of increasing threats caused by armed aggression. Further research may be aimed at assessing the effectiveness of these measures and their impact on the social situation.
