Summary/Abstract: An atypical, Hybrid War is in progress on Romania’s eastern border pitting neighboring Ukraine against an “anonymous enemy” who is a master of the military arts, is supported by a systematized propaganda apparatus, as well as a political, economic and financial system that is sufficiently strong and so widely spread as to limit the reactions of the European third-party states as well as international political organizations. Undoubtfully, we are witnessing a paradigm shift of the political-military relations between Moscow and the NATO allies; the post-Cold War détente is gradually being replaced by the necessity of adjusting to the reality on the field, where Hybrid War is in full progress .
