Understanding Hybrid Warfare On The Russian-Ukrainian Conflict

In addition, there are some government websites targeted by massive cyber attacks, one of the websites that were attacked by cyber attacks was the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, on some hacked websites, a text appeared saying that all Ukrainian data uploaded to the network had become public.

The writing says "Ukraine, All your data has been uploaded to the public network all the data on the computer is destroyed, it is impossible to recover it, and all the information about you has become public. Be careful and prepare for the worst. This is for your past, present, and future".

The hybrid warfare strategy is geared towards dictating a narrative in which the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, is a graduate of the KGB's secret service, certainly mastering how asymmetric warfare is more broadly and profoundly. What was used was a battered strategy, in which they sought to suppress domestic political discourse in Ukraine to deflect the bow in a more pro-Russian direction.

Then, it had a huge impact on the Ukrainian economy, a pro-European direction in Ukraine that was fully supported by the government and businesses in the European Union. Therefore, the goal of hybrid warfare by Russia is to subdue the Ukrainian economy.

In addition, resulting in hybrid warfare, there are great doubts about Ukraine, which can be predicted to keep investors away from Ukraine.

After looking at the case regarding Russia's hybrid warfare model against Ukraine, we must begin to realize that the warfare model has changed into a form that is "not visible" in a fairly broad sense. This means that anyone can carry out war in various ways and methods. 

When the enemy conducts hybrid warfare, defense preparations cannot be carried out immediately because it concerns various other aspects such as economic, political, social, cultural, informational, cyber, and so on.
