Article 356 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine provides for liability for “unauthorized, contrary to the procedure established by law, committing any actions, the legality of which is disputed by an individual citizen or an enterprise, institution or organization, if such actions caused significant damage to the interests of a citizen, state or public interests or the interests of the owner.”

Such actions are punishable by a fine of up to fifty tax-free minimum incomes, or correctional labor for up to two years, or probationary supervision for up to two years.
