ABSTRACT. The article examined the issue of digital transformation of criminal proceedings under martial law. Specific norms of criminal procedural legislation were considered, which enshrine digital tools for criminal proceedings, in particular, Part 6 of Art. 110, Part 6 of Art. 236, Art. 245-1, Art. 268 of the CPC, Art. 206-1, Part 1 of Art. 615, Part 11 of Art. 615, par. 2 h. 11 st. 615, part 12 of Art. 615, Part 14 of Art. 615 of the CCP of Ukraine. Taking into account the scope of the research, we considered several areas in detail: remote participation of the defense attorney in the conduct of procedural action (Part 12 of Article 615 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine), electronic form of the resolution of the investigator, prosecutor (Part 6 of Article 110), preservation of copies of the materials of criminal proceedings in in electronic form from the inquirer, investigator or prosecutor (Part 14 of Article 615 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine).

On the basis of the conducted analysis, we put forward a scientifically substantiated thesis that confidential communication between the suspect and the defense attorney must be ensured by the inquirer, investigator, and prosecutor before conducting the appropriate procedural action in order to guarantee compliance with the rights and freedoms of the suspect, as well as to ensure the implementation of guarantees of advocacy. In connection with this, the norm of Part 12 of Art. 615 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine should be supplemented with the following provision: “Before conducting a procedural action, the inquirer, the investigator, the prosecutor are obliged to ensure the right of the suspect to communicate freely and without time limits with the defense attorney in compliance with the conditions ensuring the confidentiality of communication”.

Keywords: digitalization, transformation, martial law, digital tools, fixing by technical means, remote participation.
