of its shortcomings, development of proposals for their elimination.
Methodology. The system of philosophical, general scientifi c and specifi c-scientifi c methods and approaches that provided for objective analysis of the subject (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, generalization, abstraction, sociological,
statistical, formal-logical).
Findings. The shortcomings of the revised Article 240 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, in particular, the uncertainty on the
issue of the minimum cost of illegally mined minerals of national importance for recognizing an act as criminally unlawful, the lack
of diff erentiation of criminal liability for illegal mining of minerals of national importance depending on the size (value) of the
extracted items, the creation of an imbalance between the degree of severity of penalties in the form of a fi ne, enshrined in diff erent
parts of the prohibition under consideration, the groundlessness of constructing a sanction of Part 3, Article 240 of the Criminal
Code of Ukraine as non-alternative.
Originality. The authors are the fi rst in the doctrine of criminal law of Ukraine to carry out a comprehensive critical understanding
of the updated version of the provision on the regulation of criminal liability for violation of the rules for the protection
or use of subsoil, illegal mining, which made it possible to develop research-based recommendations for improving domestic
criminal law.
Practical value. Based on the results of the article, specifi c proposals addressed to domestic parliamentarians have been developed,
which can be taken into account in the process of further lawmaking to update relevant provisions of the Criminal Code of
Ukraine. It has been argued that in the improved Article 240, the minimum value of illegally mined minerals of national importance
should be determined in order to recognize the act as criminally unlawful, and the same criteria for the crime of illegal mining
of minerals of local and national importance should be fi xed. It has been substantiated that criminal liability for illegal mining
of minerals of national importance should be diff erentiated depending on the size (value) of the mined items. It has been proven,
including through references to law enforcement materials, that in the relevant sanctions, fi rstly, along with imprisonment for a
certain period, an alternative main type of punishment in the form of a fi ne should be indicated, and secondly, the imbalance between
the degree of severity of punishments, provided for in diff erent parts of the provision under consideration, should be eliminated.
