This article assesses the current state of criminal counteraction to the solicitation of children for sexual purposes using digital technologies in Ukraine and the foreign experience in this area. To this end, it uses the traditional legal research method as a basis for research, partially applying other methods such as comparative, historical, and international law. The article analyzes the composition of a criminal offense under Art. 156-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and compares it to the texts of international acts and foreign legislation. The article concludes that the text of the adopted amendments is generally in line with Ukraine's commitments and foreign experience.
