Abstract. The overview dossier deals with the research of the legislative regulation of granting a separate status to Defenders of Ukraine and their family members. Considerable attention was paid to the issues of updating the legislation in terms of social protection of war veterans (combatants) as benefit-oriented citizens in view of the need to distance from the “Soviet” organization of the system of relevant measures. Theoretical aspects of introduction of legal status for a new category of persons who “directly participated in operations to protect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine” was outlined. The historical and legal aspects of the mentioned issues have been studied. European Court of Human Rights practice has been analyzed; such practice indicates a constant increase in the number of categories of applications related to Ukraine’s violations of the rights of individuals due to unjustified refusal to grant status or unjustified deprivation of status, as well due to failure to provide benefits or assistance based on lack of funding. Opinions on the issues raised in the applications were summarized and briefly stated in the Conclusion.

Key words: social protection system, war veteran, combatant, Defender, legal status, benefits, social support.
