Summary/Abstract: Russia's aggression towards Ukraine is an example of a new approach to conflict resolution in which the psychological "machining" of the opponent state and society is of paramount importance. This is what the Kremlin is paying the most attention to because the well-planned campaign of psychological pressure on the local population limits the need for armed forces to several military units and possibly sabotage. As a result of this type of activity, the control and annexation of the territories of the neighboring country can be achieved, which also means the change of the military and political balance in the region. The psychological impact of the Kremlin was not limited to influencing the consciousness of Ukrainian citizens. Separate activities were conducted in relation to one's own society and to the international public. The attack on the Ukrainian mentality, traditional values, language, culture, education system, historical memory of the nation, national orthodox church was aimed at destroying the identity of the Ukrainian people, cohesion of society and state. Russia has conducted a special operation in Ukraine in order to transform it into a destabilized and helpless part of the Russian Mir. The paper presents the ideological basis of this political concept, its functioning at the institutional level, with particular emphasis on the effects Ukraine has experienced.
