HYBRID WAR OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES FOR SECURITY OF UKRAINE AND EURO-ATLANTIC AREA
Journal Title: European Journal of Transformation Studies - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The current situation in Ukraine confirms that the European thesis on solving conflicts within peace and diplomacy categories does not work in a perfect way. The evaluation of the Russian Federation’s activity (RF) after occupying the Crimea shows that strategic objectives of Moscow have spread farther. In the strategic dimension the hybrid war led by Moscow is measured up against the entire NATO as perceived being the main threat. Past experiences in Ukraine and the theory assessment show that the new generation war run by the RF embraces multi-storey efforts directed at the state’s function destabilizing, changing the internal order or/and leading to the state’s bankruptcy not even necessarily seizing its territory. The complex nature of the hybrid threats requires undertaking integrated actions by the international community. It seems it will be possible to reach it while having the common NATO and EU doctrine on the hybrid threats counteraction. States, particularly those endangered, should draw up and implement their own accustomed strategy of the national security that will let opposing both classical and hybrid threats with as well as without the NATO aid.
