Abstract. The informational reference examines the legal grounds for enhancing criminal liability for threats or acts of violence against a state or public figure in the context of the proposals set out in the draft Law of Ukraine (No. 14372 dated 12 January 2026).
The draft law is assessed as complying with the requirements of the Constitution of Ukraine, the fundamental principles of law-making and criminal legislation, and the provisions of international legal instruments establishing legal liability for threats, public calls for violence, or attacks against government representatives or political figures.

Key words: state or public figure, threats of murder or bodily harm, public calls or public incitement to violence, martial law, aggravated criminal liability.
