Безпека державного кордону України в умовах ведення «гібридної війни»: історичний досвід ; Security of the state border of Ukraine in the context of 'hybrid war': the historical experience

The history of countering Russian aggression on the state border of Ukraine is studied. The purpose of the article is to generalize the historical experience of opposing the «hybrid war» of the Russian Federation against Ukraine at the state border. The research methodology is based on the application of analytical, chronological, historical-systemic methods, which made it possible to determine the stages at which the border institution of Ukraine countered «hybrid» aggression on the state border, as well as measures, problems and ways to solve them. The scientific novelty of the obtained results lies in the comprehensive approach to the problem under investigation, which made it possible to generalize the historical experience of countering Russian aggression on the state border. In the historical realities of Ukraine, «hybrid war», despite its difference from traditional ideas about the nature of military confrontation, is directly related to the security of the state border. For the Ukrainian state, the Russian aggression began precisely from the border territory, where the Russian Federation used the methods of «hybrid warfare». Subsequently, all the characteristic features of the «hybrid war» manifested themselves precisely on the border territories. Conclusions. «Hybrid war» confirmed the change in the character of modern armed conflicts, in conditions of which it is impossible to conduct an armed struggle using traditional military methods. The hybrid nature of Russian aggression proved the urgent need for deep study, comprehensive justification and immediate implementation of appropriate changes in the structure, functions and powers of the subjects of the national security system, which includes the security of the state border. Taking into account the historical experience should become a real process in the context of the implementation of the state decisions defined in the strategic documents that determine the reforms of the security and defense sector of the state. ; Досліджено історію протидії .
