Title: Intelligence în era războiului hibrid: transformările geopolitice și formele sale de manifestare în criza ucraineană
Abstract: Hybrid warfare has become a core aspect of contemporary foreign policies
guided by geographical factors (geopolitical strategies) in the context of modern
international conflict evolution. In this view, this work seeks out to appraise intelligence’s
role and importance in managing hybrid warfare with reference to Ukraine unconventional
war. By integrating conventional means of information gathering with state-of-the-art
technology for analysis and monitoring, intelligence agencies have significantly contributed
to anticipating and thwarting the hybrid tactics employed by the players involved in the
Ukrainian conflict situation.
The paper looks into how regional and international dynamics have been
impacted upon by geopolitical changes brought about by hybrid warfare. Propaganda,
disinformation, cyber operations, asymmetric actions and mercenaries are some of the
manifestations of hybrid warfare that will be analyzed. Through case studies and empirical
data integration, this underlines why collaboration between nations on information
exchange and intelligence is significant in combating hybrid threats.
The paper argues that hybrid warfare management should be multifaceted and
all-inclusive and also emphasizes the importance of intelligence in fore looking and
responding to potential danger. A deep comprehension of hybrid warfare as well as an
effective response to its complexity becomes essential for regional and global security and
stability in an ongoing international conflict.
