**1. Substance of the Act**
This Order is a technical-legal regulatory act aimed at eliminating inconsistencies in a previously adopted decision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The document introduces a targeted amendment to the List of Officer Positions of the National Guard of Ukraine and their corresponding maximum military ranks. The amendment has been introduced to address the comments of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine made during the state registration process. In effect, this act ensures proper legal precision in defining military positions and ranks.
**2. Structure of the Act, Key Provisions, and Amendments**
The Order has a clear and concise structure consisting of four paragraphs:
* **Paragraph 1 (key provision):** Introduces a direct amendment to subparagraph 2 of paragraph 1 of the Amendments to the List of Officer Positions of the National Guard (approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 326 dated April 13, 2026). The amendment consists of replacing the reference to “row 2” with the word and number “row 3”.
* **Paragraph 2:** Imposes the obligation to submit this Order for state registration to the Ministry of Justice on the Department for Cooperation with the National Guard of Ukraine.
* **Paragraph 3:** Establishes the date of entry into force of the act — from the day of its official publication.
* **Paragraph 4:** Assigns control over the execution of the Order to the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs in accordance with the allocation of duties.
Compared to the previous version (Order No. 326), the amendment corrects a technical error in the numbering of rows within the position structure, thereby preventing ambiguity in the application of the rules.
**3. Key Provisions Important for Practical Application**
For practical application, the key aspect is that this Order directly affects personnel management within the structure of the National Guard of Ukraine. When determining maximum military ranks for specific officer positions, HR departments and the command must be guided precisely by the updated version of the List (with the reference to “row 3”). This is critical for the legality of appointing servicemen to positions, conferring subsequent military ranks on them, and avoiding procedural violations during their military service.
