Unfortunately, human intelligence is increasingly becoming militant and destructive. A clear evidence is the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine, centuries of enslavement of the Ukrainian people, destruction of Ukrainian culture and language. In fact, the current tragic events of the latest hybrid war exposed ethnocide and linguicide against Ukrainians. The aim of the article is to analyse the use of language as a manipulation tool for the realization of fundamental political interests. Research methods: historical method, content analysis, statistical analysis. The results of the study show that the hegemonic policy of the current Russian government is characterized by the aggressive hybrid war against Ukraine, which actively involves various manipulation tools, in particular language, in order to justify the occupation, violent means of domination and methods of control over its former colonies, in order to appropriate all the resources of the enslaved countries and peoples, in order to maintain the status of a global leader and dominate the world. Further research may focus on analysing the manifestations of the use of language as a manipulation tool by pro-Russian parties in Ukraine and other countries.

The objective of the article was to determine how effective international institutions are in the mechanism for the protection of human rights and freedoms in the context of national security. The methods of statistical analysis, correlation analysis, generalization and analogy, hypothetical-deductive model were used to achieve the proposed objective. In addition, international institutions were identified that are directly concerned with the protection of rights and freedoms in the event of their violations at the regional level. The correlation was established between the level of human rights protection and the level of national security, the number of international human rights treaties ratified, the number of cases brought before international regional human rights courts. It concludes that international institutions are effective in the mechanism for the protection of human rights and freedoms in regions with a weak national system for the protection of human rights and freedoms. Identifying factors affecting the level of protection of human rights and freedoms in the context of national security in countries with a weak national protection system may be the prospect of further investigation.
