Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of different approaches to the definition of “a hybrid war”, the problems of expanding the area where the hybrid wars are conducted. The author concludes that the activity of the states in the construction of national security strategies is based on the necessity of diversification of the instruments and the methods of protecting the state interests, as well as pursuing interests in external policy. Network and information technologies used in the conditions of ongoing hybrid war may pose a threat to the object and the subject of political influence. The problem of hybrid wars requires a deeper methodological and theoretical reflection, justification, conceptualization of the approaches and methods of implementing national security strategies, it also requires the awareness of the external and internal political risk factors during the implementation of hybrid instruments during strategic operations.
