The article analyzes the process and results of the transformation of the nature of the activity of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law caused by large-scale Russian aggression against the Ukrainian state. The study of the political discourse of changes in the organization of the activities of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in the conditions of Russian aggression proved that this problem was actively discussed by parliamentary factions in the context of implementing the possibility of normative and legal consolidation of holding plenary sessions in remote mode and, accordingly, online voting of people's deputies of Ukraine. Against the background of the lack of international experience of using such an organizational form of activity of the national parliament as remote plenary sessions, Ukraine may be the first country in which the legislative body of power will introduce this innovation. The study of renewal of the activity format of the Parliament of Ukraine in the context of the problem of compliance with the standards of law-making activity indicates that it took place by means of the turbo regime, which: marked by a significant increase in the number of adopted Laws of Ukraine; is characterized by a reduction in the time of processing and passage of draft laws according to the procedure for their review provided for by the Regulation; caused a decrease in the number of registered draft laws, led to an increase in the number of violations of the law-making procedure. Analysis of the dynamics of the forms of information and communication activities of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law indicates the need to disseminate information about the content of the legislative activities of the Ukrainian parliament only in the communication space of interested target audiences. The conducted analysis proved that the Ukrainian parliament is characterized by a high level of institutional stability and political capacity.
