UKRAINIAN CRISIS – EXAMPLE OF A HYBRID WAR (GENERAL LESSONS)

Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Akademii Sztuki Wojennej - Year 2015, Vol 101, Issue 4

Abstract

This article examines the recent aggression of Russia in Ukraine as an example of a hybrid war, also referred to as a crawling conflict. A comparative analysis of Russia’s strategic level documents (strategy and doctrine) published in 2000, 2010 and 2014, as well as of the order of battle of the Russian armed forces (land), shows that Russia had been motivated and had achieved readiness to conduct hybrid activities in Ukraine a long time before the intrusion in February 2014. The article also extrapolates from the conflict general lessons on the character and structure of contemporary and future combat operations. Finally, in the framework of conclusions, universal hybrid warfare components and counteractions are discussed.
