Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of public administration entities in the field of compensation for damage caused to citizens’ property as a result of armed aggression, which is a pressing issue of modern Ukrainian law under martial law. The range of entities is revealed, including executive authorities, local self-government bodies, military administrations, specially established state commissions, and other authorized bodies that ensure the implementation of compensation measures. Their functions and competencies are defined, focusing on organizing the registration of the damage, making compensation decisions, and monitoring compliance with the law in this area.

Special attention is given to the interaction of public administration entities, on which the timeliness and efficiency of damage compensation depend. It is emphasized that the clear delineation of powers and responsibilities between state authorities, local self-government bodies, and specialized structures ensures procedural transparency and the protection of citizens’ rights. The scientific novelty lies in the systematization of the role of public administration entities and the substantiation of their importance in forming an integrated mechanism for compensating damage under conditions of armed aggression and during the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.
