Abstract

The Black Sea region is the new frontline of the hybrid warfare. It is dominated by the discrepancies between the technological penetration, the insufficiently integrated tools and means to counter the cyber warfare and the unprecedented level of the combined conventional and nonconventional threats to the regional and EU security environment. The aim of the present paper is to highlight the need to enhance the level of regional cooperation in countering hybrid threats that are a part of the hybrid warfare against Ukraine.
