Abstract: The research subject is the legal grounds and the procedure of application of government coercive measures using armed forces for the purpose of the country’s territorial integrity provision, the case of the legislation of Ukraine and the Russian Federation. The author studies the constitutional and legal models of armed protection of the state territory from internal threats for the purpose of differentiating legal regulation of forms, means, and methods of activities of armed forces determined by the peculiarities of national legal systems taking into account the states’ obligations in the sphere of international humanitarian law. The author applies the following research methods: analysis, synthesis, the concrete historical, system-structural, formal-logical, theoretical and prognostic methods, and the legal provisions interpreting. The scientific novelty of the study is conditioned by its contribution to the development of the theory of law of armed conflicts and the science of constitutional law. The author concludes that the actions of the illegitimate Kyiv regime, whose actual authority applied only within the bounds of Kyiv, were aimed at the protection of the regime itself and its legitimization in the southeast regions of Ukraine via enforcement. Unlike the Ukrainian conflict, the actions of Russian authorities in the Russian territorial subject – the Chechen Republic – were aimed at the preservation of territorial integrity of the Russian state with due regard to the right to self-determination.
