**1. Substance of the Act**
This Decree is an individual act of the President of Ukraine, which posthumously confers the highest state award—the title of Hero of Ukraine, with the presentation of the Order of the Gold Star. The award is conferred upon Chief Sergeant Mykola Mykolaiovych Hlukhovskyi. His personal courage and heroism, displayed during the defense of the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, are designated as the grounds for the award. The document is an official expression of state recognition of the exceptional military merits of the deceased defender.
**2. Structure of the Act and Comparative Analysis**
The structure of the Decree is concise and standard for individual acts. It consists of a preamble containing the legal justification (merits to the state) and a single operative clause on the conferral of the honorary title, specifying the military rank and the form of the award (posthumously). As this is a law-applying act of one-time application, it does not amend other normative legal acts, has no prior versions, and does not alter the general system of legislation.
**3. Key Provisions Important for Practical Application**
The key provision of the Decree is the official acquisition by Mykola Hlukhovskyi of the status of Hero of Ukraine (posthumously) and the right of his family to receive the Order of the Gold Star. For practical application, this document serves as the legal basis for the family members of the deceased serviceman to process and receive the statutory lump-sum monetary payments, benefits, and other social protection measures established for the families of Heroes of Ukraine.
