Summary/Abstract: The military instrument of power may influence the local, regional and global information environment through information operations. Based on the analysis of these operations can be identified four fundamental elements that are described theoretically and practically applied in the case of crisis in Ukraine, where there are evidence of information operations being used. From the analysis it showed that the four basic elements are O - objectives, A - activities, A – audiences and E - effects of information operations. If we identify and define these elements in operations led by own forces, the planning and the execution of information operations can be streamlined. It can also provide a framework of analysis for the information operations executed by the adversary. In the crisis in Ukraine it noticed that through the information operations, carried out by specialized adversary forces, the effects generated have exceeded the local boundaries of the ongoing crisis, reaching a regional and global scale.
