Abstract
The article discusses current issues of criminalistic support for the investigation of crimes committed in the context of a special military operation and in new regions of the Russian Federation. The methodological recommendations developed by the Main Directorate of Criminalistics (Criminalistics Center) of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for effective investigative actions in the context of a special military operation. Special attention is paid to the use of modern technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles, digital analysis methods, as well as interagency interaction with other law enforcement agencies. The paper provides examples of practical application of the developed techniques, including inspection of accident sites, interrogations, examination and presentation for identification. The article also examines the specifics of investigating crimes related to the use of prohibited means and methods of warfare, and the experience of investigative agencies in the territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.
