    La ejecución de sentencias judiciales es un elemento indispensable del Estado de derecho que garantiza la correcta aplicación de las decisiones judiciales. En este sentido, el artículo pretende evaluar la eficacia de los mecanismos de ejecución en Ucrania en relación con su cumplimiento de las normas europeas. El estudio utiliza un enfoque multidisciplinar, que combina el análisis jurídico comparativo con métodos dialécticos y hermenéuticos. Como resultado, se puede afirmar que los sistemas de ejecución mixtos y privatizados son más eficaces, según un estudio comparativo de los métodos de ejecución en Estonia, Lituania, Alemania y el Reino Unido. La investigación también identifica obstáculos institucionales y legales para una ejecución eficiente en Ucrania, como la burocracia ineficaz de los organismos estatales de ejecución y la autoridad limitada del personal de ejecución privado. Además, se establece que la eficacia de la ejecución judicial debe mejorarse mediante la reestructuración del sistema de ejecución de Ucrania, potenciando el papel de los organismos privados de ejecución, aumentando el control regulatorio y adoptando las mejores prácticas de la UE.

    The execution of judicial judgements is an indispensable element of therule of law that guarantees proper implementation of court decisions. In this regard, the article aims to assess the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms in Ukraineregarding its compliance with European norms. The study uses a multidisciplinaryapproach, combining a comparative legal analysis, dialectical and hermeneuticmethods. As a result, it can be claimed that mixed and privatised enforcement systems are more effective, according to a comparative study of enforcement methods in Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, and the UK. The research also identifiesinstitutional and legal obstacles to efficient enforcement in Ukraine, such as theineffective bureaucracy of state enforcement agencies and the restricted authorityof private enforcement personnel.
