Анотація

The article studies the concept of hybrid war, which became especially relevant after the aggravation of relations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation due to full-scale aggression by the latter. It was determined that the features of this concept include combining traditional and irregular methods of confrontation. Based on a critical analysis of doctrinal documents and expert assessments, it was concluded that this concept does not have an established definition either in the theoretical or in the institutional planes. Using the example of the operation in Crimea in 2014, it is shown that the concept of hybrid war is used to identify it with the foreign policy of the state, which is characterized by a militaristic character.

Ключові слова: hybrid war, military doctrine, irregular war, unconventional war, security threats.
