Information and propaganda influence is one of the key components of the hybrid aggression of the Russian Federation in the South-East of Ukraine. RF effectively uses propaganda "messages" designed to take into account the stereotypes of the mass consciousness of certain target audiences, and the Russian media successfully work with the international audience, which discredits Ukraine's image in their eyes. Ukraine was unprepared for the information war unleashed by the aggressor, the development of the propaganda sphere of which significantly prevails, the Ukrainian legal framework for information security and information warfare was extremely insufficient. Information operations and propaganda campaigns by the aggressor state, which are unfolding at the global, regional and local levels, have necessitated the rapid development of effective mechanisms to counter information aggression. The purpose of this article is to establish the legal basis for information security of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, to identify key legal mechanisms in this area. The study was conducted on the basis of an analysis of a wide range of sources, which are represented by laws and regulations of Ukraine. This allowed the author to present an analysis of the basic legal framework for information security and counteraction to information aggression by the Russian Federation in Ukrainian legislation. The article defines the content of Russian information aggression, highlights the place of the information component in the process of ensuring the national security of Ukraine at the present stage. The main provisions of the basic regulations of Ukraine on the protection of information sovereignty (National Security Strategy of Ukraine, the Doctrine of Information Security of Ukraine, certain laws and regulations of Ukraine), which define information security as one of the most important functions of the state, reveal the primary threats to national security in the information sphere , set priorities for information security, stipulate mechanisms for counteracting information aggression. The study of Ukrainian legislation allowed the author to establish key legal principles for combating information aggression, such as follows: - identification of information and psychological warfare as an urgent threat to national security; - establishment of the institutions responsible for information and psychological security, addition of the function of protection of information space to the competence of existing public authorities (Ministry of Information Policy, National Security and Defense Council, CMU, Security Service of Ukraine, Ministry of Culture, intelligence agencies, State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection, etc.); - protection of information television and radio space and the market of printed products by banning access to the Ukrainian market of materials aimed at eliminating the independence of Ukraine, promoting a positive image of the authorities of the aggressor state, justifying the occupation of Ukraine; - setting quotas for the national audiovisual product; - ban on popularization of the aggressor state and calls in its favor during touring events in Ukraine; - condemnation and elimination of symbols of the communist totalitarian regime; - development of means and tools to respond to aggression in cyberspace; - improvement of professional training in the field of information security, introduction of national educational programs on media culture, etc.

The article reveals the content of the destructive influence of Western countries on the communication regimes and information space of the friendly Central Asian states, which poses a threat to their national security and contradicts the national interests of the Russian Federation. The importance of joint efforts with the states of the Central Asian region, including those in the format of the SCO and CSTO regional organizations, to ensure information security and a positive impact on the communication regimes of this region is noted. Attention is drawn to the role of national mass media in the arsenal of tools for influencing the minds and psychology of the population of Central Asian countries and in this regard gives a description of Western information structures that exercise such influence, the mechanisms of their functioning and the way to neutralize their activities. The dynamism of the matter under study and its subjection to changes in the balance of power in the international arena are noted.

The purpose of the article is to develop recommendations for countering the destruction of the nationhood of the Russian Federation. The subject of the article is various aspects of countering the technologies of destruction of nationhood, reflected in the strategic planning documents. The results of the accomplished work: based on the analysis of the doctrinal documents of foreign actors and the modern practice of destructive impact on the target countries, the authors identified the most relevant technologies through which the destruction of nationhood occurs: information, political, economic and cyber impact on the population and infrastructure. Currently, the main threats are shifted from the military and economic spheres to the information one. One of the priority tasks of external actors is to influence the population in order to change values and meanings. In connection with the dominance of the power component in the regulatory and legal framework in the field of national security of Russia, the authors propose to make a number of changes to the main documents of strategic planning, strengthening the problems of the humanitarian component, spiritual and moral values, and culture. At the same time, the main task at the state level should be the creation of a holistic, in terms of goal-setting and management, system of counteracting the destruction of statehood.

Hybrid War

The article is devoted to the study of information security of Ukraine in the conditions of hybrid war, confrontation of hybrid threats from the Russian Federation, as well as priority directions for the effective provision of information security in our country. The analysis of this problem shows that the current state of Ukraine's information security system is characterized by an increase in existing threats, and on the other hand by the emergence of new challenges. Technological innovation processes, information breakthroughs, globalization of the world and tendencies of regional integration, along with providing enormous opportunities for the country's progressive development, have many negative consequences. One of the consequences has been the intensification of hybrid warfare between world countries, including against Ukraine. States' capacity to conduct information and information-psychological operations, to increase the sensitivity of society to the death of civilians and to the loss of military personnel in military conflicts are increasing. In the current conditions of globalization, the technological basis of which is the global information and telecommunication networks and a single information space, there is a tendency to change the principles and methods of management, including in military affairs. The ability of information to influence people's worldview and moods gives them the opportunity to gain an advantage over an adversary without engaging in a forceful confrontation with him. In fact, the correct method of working with information has become a new way of conducting an armed struggle, namely a hybrid war. In this regard, the leading countries of the world are undergoing a gradual transformation of approaches to the formulation of military policy of the state, which are practically embodied in ensuring the information security of the state in the conditions of hybrid war. The full-scale information war of Russia against our state has demonstrated the importance of ensuring information security as one of the main components of national security. In view of the above, the state and military authorities of the country were tasked with developing effective measures to neutralize the negative information impact of the Russian Federation and counteract its further deployment. The article also analyzes well-known approaches to improving the effectiveness of state response to national security threats in the information sphere in the context of the current armed conflict in eastern Ukraine. It is established that in order to achieve the appropriate level of information security it is necessary to create a single state mechanism for ensuring information security. A method for solving problems arising in this field is proposed.

The paper is devoted to an analysis of the institutional mechanisms that ensure national security in the information space of several leading countries – the United States, the United Kingdom and the Russian Federation. It is stated that institutional mechanisms that ensure national security in the information space of the leading countries all have a similar structure. The main components of these mechanisms involve public authorities (state leaders – president or prime minister, government, ministries, and agencies), local government bodies, civil society institutions, the academic community, business community, and the media. The gradual expansion of the system of institutions that ensure national security in the information space and increase in their powers occurs in all these states. The analysis also demonstrates the paradigm shifts in the development and implementation of US and UK information policy in the context of modern nonlinear processes. Paradigmatic shifts are currently being reoriented towards the interests and needs of target audiences, diversification of channels and mechanisms of the distribution of meaning (strategic narratives) in the information space, from vertical to horizontal interaction with internal and external audiences. Emphases are shifting to the involvement of a wide range of institutions and other stakeholders in the implementation of information policy and delegation of powers from the center to the periphery, while preserving the main parameters of the policy established by state structures.
