https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2025-2-1523
Abstract
Aim. The article identifies the characteristics of the special military operation conducted by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine in the context of the global confrontation between Russia and the collective West.
Methodology. The article analyzes the actions taken by Western European countries and the United States to inflict maximum damage on Russia. The data is examined through the prism of the West's hybrid war against Russia.
Results. It has been established that the confrontation between Russia and the West has taken the form of a new type of hybrid war waged by the collective West against Russia with the aim of inflicting a strategic defeat on it. The article examines the link between the massive and multifaceted support for the Kiev regime and the unprecedented anti-Russian trade and economic sanctions in world history. It is shown that the countries of the collective West and their satellites are conducting a total information campaign against Russia that is unprecedented in world history. It is noted that military-biological activities are being carried out in the territories controlled by the Kiev regime under the control of the American special services, which can be used in acts of bioterrorism. International organizations are being used to put pressure on the Russian authorities. Systematic attempts to create diplomatic isolation of Russia and its political leadership are being recorded. It is concluded that interrelated measures of non-kinetic and kinetic influence are being used against Russia, aimed at undermining its national security.
Research implications. It has been determined that comprehensive countermeasures are necessary to prevent the collective West from implementing its plans against Russia.
