Summary/Abstract: From a brief analysis of the strategies and tactics used during the conflict in Ukraine, the article presents the main constituents of hybrid war, as described in the Wales Summit Declaration in September 2014, and in other NATO documents.The authors note that the hybrid war is clearly defined by the integrated use of nonmilitary instruments of power (political, diplomatic, economic, informational) to substitute or to achieve the full potential of operations carried out by paramilitary, special and conventional forces. In order to achieve its objectives, hybrid war leverages political, social and ethnic divisions, exploits the potential of insurgent movements striving for greater autonomy or independence, and finally affects the integrity and sovereignty of the UN member states, peace and stability of the international system.
