Introduction. In the conditions of war, administrative law faces new challenges that require prompt and adequate regulatory changes. Traditional approaches to administrative regulation may not be effective enough, putting stability, security and law and order at risk. Adaptation of normative acts, procedures and mechanisms of administrative law to the conditions of war is an urgent need. The purpose of the paper is to determine the effectiveness of regulatory changes in administrative law during wartime, to analyze the impact of these changes on the functioning of state bodies and the protection of citizens’ rights, as well as to develop practical recommendations for improving the regulatory framework in wartime conditions. The results. The paper provides an overview of the main normative acts adopted in Ukraine during the war, such as the laws «On the National Security of Ukraine» and «On the Defense of Ukraine», as well as presidential decrees and resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers. Their influence on administrative practice, in particular on mobilization measures, coordination between state bodies and protection of information resources, is considered. The analysis of international experience showed that other countries also implemented similar regulatory changes to improve the effectiveness of public administration in wartime conditions. The main problems and challenges faced by state bodies and citizens in the conditions of martial law have been identified. Based on the research of Ukrainian and international scientists, specific mechanisms and approaches for adapting administrative law to the conditions of war are proposed. Conclusion. The conclusions of the paper emphasize the need for a quick and flexible response of the regulatory framework to the challenges of war. It is recommended to create legislative and organizational mechanisms that will ensure the effective work of state bodies and the protection of citizens’ rights. The paper proposes concrete measures to increase the transparency and accountability of state bodies, which are critically important in wartime conditions. Prospects for further developments include research into the long-term consequences of the implemented changes and their impact on the stability of public administration in the post-war period.
