The problem of providing housing of the dismissed or retired servicemen and members of their families is analyzed in the article on the basis of archival sources and publications.The situation with providing of housing for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine dismissed from military service in the early 1990s, was complicated by the return to Ukraine of more than 32 thousand families of servicemen who served in other CIS countries. Financing of housing construction and provision of retired military personnel was carried out from state and local budgets. The research showed that every year expenditures on housing construction were reduced for persons dismissed from military service.To solve this problem the Program for housing providing for the dismissed or retired servicemen was adopted in 1999. The aim of the program was to facilitate the implementation of state policy in providing housing for retired servicemen, concentration of financial, logistic and other resources as well as coordination of the activities of central and local executive authorities, enterprises, institutions and organizations for solving this problem. The National Coordinating Centre for Social and Professional Adaptation of the dismissed or retired servicemen was responsible for the implementation of the Program. The National Coordinating Centre controled the use of budget funds, following the compliance of local executive authorities and local self-government bodies with legislation on the provision of housing for persons discharged from military service, formed a consolidated database on the apartment registration of dismissed servicemen.For improve the implementation of the Program, traditional and non-traditional sources of funding were involved, including the deduction of 1.5% of corporate profit tax. Among the sources of financing of the Program were assets and property seized by customs and law enforcement agencies and transferred to the state property for use in housing construction. The Program for providing housing, during 2005-2008, was not included in the list of budget programs of the Ministry of Defense and target expenditures from the general fund of the State Budget for its implementation were not allocated. The share of subvention from the state budget to local budgets was the only but insufficient financing source. As a result, the amount of housing received at the expense of said subvention, has been constantly decreasing. In the following years the financinghas practically ceased, which has led to an aggravation of the problem of providing housing to retired servicemen.The situation with providing of housing for servicemen who were on the housing account in local self-government bodies during the investigated period was extremely difficult. The conducted research testifies to the imperfection of the current hosing legislation’s norms. This made it possible for the local authorities to consider the issue of providing housing to dismissed servicemen at their discretion, which resulted in numerous abuses. Effective methods and means of construction and reconstruction of state objects, cooperative and individual housing stock are necessary to implement in order to make the complex decision. This problem can be solved by developing and approving the procedure for granting privileged loans to dismissed servicemen for the purpose of construction and purchase of housing, the allocation of land for housing construction, and the purchase of housing in the secondary market.It is necessary to create a unified state mechanism that would allow local self-government bodies and the public to ensure compliance with state guarantees for the provision of housing for persons dismissed from military service. To introduce a transparent system of attraction, distribution and spending of funds directed at construction (purchase) of housing for the specified category of citizens.

Arvien aktuālāki kļūst jautājumi par valsts un pašvaldības institūciju kompetenci sabiedriskās kārtības un drošības garantēšanā publisku pasākumu laikā. Tiesību aizsardzības iestādēm viens no svarīgākajiem uzdevumiem ir sabiedriskās kārtības un drošības garantēšana šo pasākumu norises vietās. Lai arī būtiska loma tās nodrošināšanā ir atvēlēta pašvaldību institūcijām (pašvaldības policija šobrīd ir viens no nozīmīgākajiem Valsts policijas sadarbības partneriem policijas funkciju pildīšanā), praksē novērojamas vairākas problēmas. Pirmkārt, vai valsts un pašvaldības policijas iestādēm ir pietiekami materiāltehniskie un cilvēkresursi, lai garantētu sabiedrisko kārtību liela mēroga (arī paaugstināta riska) publiskos pasākumos? Otrkārt, vai šo iestāžu darbinieki publisku pasākumu laikā izmanto samērīgus tiesiskos līdzekļus, lai vērstos pret sabiedriskās kārtības pārkāpējiem? Issues affecting the state and local government institution competence in public order and security maintaining in public events is becoming increasingly crucial. One of the most important tasks of the law enforcement agencies is guaranteeing public order and security. Although the crucial role in guaranteeing is devoted to local government bodies, where municipal police institute is currently one of the most important partners of the State Police in police powers provision, in practice are turning out a number of problems. First, whether the state and municipal police authorities have sufficient logistical and human resources to ensure public order in large-scale (and sensitive) public events. Second, whether the enforcement officers during public events use proportionate legal means to crack down violators of public order.

In modern conditions, the role of transparency of both public and local finances is growing significantly, which is a tool to increase the efficiency of financial resources, which confirms the analysis of Ukrainian and foreign studies. In Ukraine, the level of transparency is improving every year and as of 2019 is assessed by international organizations as the minimum allowable. At the same time, the level of transparency of local budgets differs significantly in different regions. To improve the situation and implement best practices in the field of transparency of public finances at both the state and local levels, it is important to analyze the foreign experience of those countries that are leaders in ratings of transparency of public authorities and transparency of the budget process. The paper analyzes the experience of the Office of the Public Accountant of Texas (USA), the Treasury of New Zealand, and the Treasury of the Republic of South Africa, which according to the open budget rating provided by the International Budget Partnership are among the 10 most transparent countries. Analysis of the content of the information portal of the Texas Public Accounts Controller Office showed a separate section “Transparency” with a detailed presentation of information in terms of key blocks of revenues and expenditures, state budget and finances, information on the formation and use of funds in all localities, information on budget deficit as well as information on transparency at the level of individual settlements, school districts, etc. A comparative analysis with the state of transparency of Ukrainian government agencies responsible for the development and implementation of fiscal policy and identifies weaknesses and strengths in terms of their transparency. It is established that the openness of the process of using public finances in Ukraine is gradually increasing, while the positions in the world transparency rating are also improving. However, the conceptual difference between building sites in the countries analyzed is that they report to taxpayers in a form that is accessible to them, rather than simply covering available information without comment or explanation.

Defense Function

The article highlights the aspects of the Security and Defense Sector’s defense function. Based on the analysis of the legislationof Ukraine, the specifics of the normative regulation of the content of the category “defense”, as well as the diversity of doctrinal understandingof this category are highlighted. It is noted that the defense function of the state is realized, in fact, by all elements of the powermechanism. In this way, the state of readiness of the state “defense forces” necessary for the flow of armed aggression is achieved.Along with this, it was noted that within the framework of the state mechanism, it is expedient to single out those structures whosecompetence directly provides for the implementation of the defense function.The structure of the security and defense sector contains four components, which are differentiated according to their functionalpurpose and legal nature. In particular, these are: 1) security forces; 2) defense forces; 3) defense-industrial complex; 4) public associationsthat voluntarily participate in ensuring national security. It is also worth noting that the institutional components of Ukraine’ssecurity and defense sector belong to both the state apparatus and civil society institutions.The content of the categories “security forces” and “defense forces” is distinguished. Security forces are law enforcement andintelligence agencies, state bodies of special purpose with law enforcement functions, civil defense forces, as well as other bodiesentrusted by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine with functions to ensure the national security of Ukraine. In turn, the defense forcesinclude the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as other military formations, law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies formedin accordance with the laws of Ukraine, as well as special purpose bodies with law enforcement functions, which are assigned by theConstitution and laws of Ukraine. The main institutional element of the Security and Defense Sector is the Armed Forces of Ukraine.It is the Armed Forces that protect the sovereignty of the state and territorial integrity, as well as ensure the inviolability of state borders.Emphasis is placed on the function of the National Guard of Ukraine and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine as important componentsof the security and defense sector.It is noted that today the subordination of military institutions and law enforcement agencies to various ministries and authoritiesis a factor that may negatively affect their interaction in the process of performing the tasks provided by law. Therefore, we consider itexpedient for the President of Ukraine, as the Head of State and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, toadopt a normative act on cooperation between the Security and Defense Sector in the process of armed defense of Ukraine’s territorialintegrity and state sovereignty.

Information security in the modern post-industrial “authorized” world is becoming one of the key ele-ments in the state’s national security system. The author of the article notes that the Russian state policy in the field of information security is imple-mented according to a “tough” model: reliance on law enforcement agencies and prohibitive measures, the desire to control the transmission channels of big data, to monopolize or at least take control of the main sources of media generation. As recom-mendations for optimizing the state information policy, the author proposes to strengthen the inter-action of state institutions with non-profit organiza-tions, social movements and other elements of civil society. Moreover, it is needed to move from a pro-hibitive model of informational confrontation to a combined one, combining both counterpropaganda and readiness for dialogue with external political actors on mutual interests; to step up the work of state bodies in compliance with the legality of the circulation of information in the latest communica-tion systems. It is also proposed to introduce the development of competence to counter informa-tional political aggression into the system of train-ing the state and municipal employees.

The article examines the assessment and existing methods of the tax burden, directions of its optimiza-tion. One of the main systemic elements of the country's state policy is the tax system as one of the vectors in the direction of economic and social development. The legal basis of the state determines that an economic entity becomes a taxpayer, paying taxes and fees to the state budget system. For effective conduct of activi-ties, organizations need to assess the amount of taxes paid to the budget and determine how much of their own resources they can donate to the state as payment for using its services. For this, it is advisable to use the estimated indicator "tax burden". In addition to organizations, the tax burden is also calculated by the tax authorities to control the activities of taxpayers. It is important for the state to monitor both the direction of movement of tax flows and the fact of their receipt into the country's budget, taking into account the financial and economic capabilities of taxpayers, since tax revenues form a significant part of the federal and consoli-dated budget revenues.

Budget System

The article investigates the priorities of budget investment and trends in the distribution of capital expenditures among the budgetary system levels in Ukraine during 2010-2019 period. It has been established that capital expenditures of budgets in Ukraine cannot be equated with capital investments from the budget, since they contain articles that are inconsistent with the classical understanding of investments. But the analysis of their dynamics and structure makes it possible to identify the priorities of budget investment and the distribution of budget investment among the budget system levels. It has been established that since 2015 in Ukraine there has been an increase in the share of capital expenditures of the consolidated budget in the total expenditures of the consolidated budget at the expense of local budgets, which are a consequence of an increase in the local budgets resource base in relation to the decentralization reform. A positive trend of growth in the percentage of capital expenditures fulfillment of both state and local budgets was revealed. Also, since 2015, a change in the ratio of capital expenditures among the levels of the budget system in the direction of the prevalence of local budgets and a change in the structure of capital expenditures of the state and local budgets has been revealed: in the state budget, capital transfers to enterprises that are a form of support for certain sectors of the economy are decreasing, but in local budgets they are growing. Thus, the economic function of the state to support individual sectors of the economy is delegated to local budgets. It also revealed a change in priorities in the structure of financing public investment projects from the state budget of Ukraine during 2019-2020 from social development projects to transport infrastructure development projects (70% of funding). It has been established that capital investments from budgets of all levels are not aimed at multiplying budget investments; therefore, an increase in budget capital expenditures does not guarantee the acceleration of the state economic development. The improvement of the investment activities state management system should be realized in the direction of formation and budgetary financing the investment projects that will contribute to the introduction of new technologies, the creation of new jobs and the investment attractiveness of the country.
