The legal opinion on granting a special legal status to settlements in wartime is based on the analysis of current legislation and the practice of its application. The main aspects of this process are:
Defining criteria: Establishing clear criteria for granting special legal status, including the level of threat, the presence of hostilities and the need for additional security measures.

Legal opinion of the lawyer
The lawyer's legal opinion on the granting of a special legal status to settlements in wartime includes an assessment of specific situations and recommendations on compliance with the law. A lawyer, analyzing a specific case, must take into account all the circumstances, including the level of threat, measures taken to ensure security, and possible violations of citizens' rights.
For example, in the case of introducing a special legal status of a settlement, a lawyer should investigate:
Were all the procedures for entering a special status followed?
Is proper protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens ensured in accordance with the legislation?
Are security, evacuation and humanitarian aid measures adequately organized?
On the basis of this analysis, the lawyer can prepare a legal opinion and recommendations for the protection of the interests of citizens, in particular within the framework of legal proceedings or when applying to state bodies.
