Abstract:
Висвітлено теоретико-прикладні питання щодо огляду місця події під час досудового
розслідування злочинів, пов’язаних зі збройною агресією проти України, з огляду на потребу у
виробленні єдиного підходу щодо дій працівників правоохоронних органів на початковому етапі
досудового розслідування таких злочинів. Для досягнення цієї мети розкрито криміналістичні
особливості проведення огляду місця події під час досудового розслідування злочинів, пов’язаних
зі збройною агресією проти України, на кожному з етапів – підготовчому, робочому та заключному.
Визначено орієнтований склад слідчо-оперативної групи та сформульовано ролі її учасників під час
огляду місця події. Надано науково-практичні рекомендації щодо порядку фіксації злочинів,
пов’язаних зі збройною агресією проти України, в ході огляду місця події. The article
highlights the theoretical and practical issues regarding the inspection of the scene during the pre-trial
investigation of crimes related to armed aggression against Ukraine, given the need to develop an unified
approach to the actions of law enforcement officers at the initial stage of the pre-trial investigation of such
crimes. It has been proven that the inspection of the scene of the incident is an urgent and priority
investigative (research) action, the quality of which depends on the effectiveness of the pre-trial
investigation of crimes related to armed aggression against Ukraine. The tactics of this investigative
(search) action have been presented by forensic recommendations on the specifics of its conduct at each of
the stages – preparatory, working and final. It has been established that the composition of the investigativeoperational group is determined taking into account the object that is the scene of the incident, its borders
and the likely number of traces, the method of committing a crime related to armed aggression against
Ukraine. The composition of the investigative-operational group includes: 1) an investigator or several
investigators; 2) employee of the operational unit; 3) specialists, which can be an employee of the
explosives service, a specialist in the use of rocket forces and artillery, as well as in military aviation,
forensic specialists, a forensic medical expert, a specialist in weapons, ammunition fragments. If necessary, other participants may be involved in the inspection of the scene: sappers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,
employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, dog handlers with search dogs, a military (local
guide), a property valuer, morgue workers or volunteers who will deliver corpses of examined persons, and
persons (volunteers) who will carry out work on excavating graves. The roles of the members of the
investigative-operational group during the inspection of the scene of the incident have been formulated.
Attention has been focused on the security component of the inspection of the scene of the incident, as it is
allowed only after confirmation by relevant specialists (explosive technicians/sammers) of the absence of
dangerous explosive materials on the territory of the inspection site. Since the main means of recording the
inspection of the scene of the incident is a detailed display of its course and results in the corresponding
protocol, the approximate content of such protocol and its appendices has been determined.
