Summary/Abstract: The academic discussion on the specificity of the hybrid warfare concept and its unique methods has been going on for almost a decade now and has been dominated by military strategists. The question whether a hybrid war is a new phenomenon or just another fashionable label to denominate the complexity of modern warfare has not been resolved, but the concept is particularly useful in examining the recent Russian-Ukrainian conflict. This article aims to analyse the conflict from a very narrow angle of the key characteristics of modern hybrid warfare, attempting in particular to explain what hybrid warfare actually is in the Ukrainian context and to assess the potential for Russia’s extension of the new hybrid methods to other states, first of all the post-Soviet neighbouring countries.
