The essence and main characteristics of the hybrid war are reviewed as a means of destroying the enemy country from inside due to the effective combination of conventional armed forces, subversion, propaganda, and dissemination of misinformation. The hybrid tactics used by the Russian Federation in Ukraine and Georgia are investigated. A comparativeanalysisof the military component in the confrontation between Russia, Ukraine and Georgia is conducted, the peculiarities of informational and psychological confrontation and factors that led to the significant achievements of the Russian side in the hybrid warfare are revealed, economic aspect of the hybrid confrontation are clarified (especially regarding the factors of financial, energy and raw material dependence) and, finally, the key conditions for the widespread use of hybrid methods of confrontation during modern armed conflicts are identified. Thedifference is proved between conflicts in Georgia and Ukraine, mainly in the use of military means. It is established that the conditions for the conflict in Crimea were unique, or at least extremely rare, and they can hardly be reproduced in any other place. It is noted that in the future, hybrid war will become rather a situational phenomenon, because the implementation of aggressive actions against another state without the necessary conditions for it will lead either to a quick defeat of the aggressor state, or will force such a state to move toconventional warfare, which requires significant financial costs and inevitably will cause decline in the prestige of such a state within the international community.

“…Szczególnie istotna dla Rosjan jest kontrola nad Morzem Czarnym. Jak opisuje Ostap Kushnir, stała się ona ważna już dla ZSRR po II wojnie światowej, lecz po rozpadzie imperium sowieckiego Moskwa straciła tam wpływy, ograniczając się do obecności na wybrzeżu wzdłuż 450 km linii brzegowej Morza Czarnego na Kaukazie 62 .…”

“…The number of new arrivals since 2014 is estimated at more than one million, which situated Poland at first place in the EU in issuing new residence permits to the non-European Union (EU) citizens (Brunarska 2020). The movement of Ukrainians to Poland has two main causes: the war in eastern Ukraine since 2014 (Sakwa 2015;Kushnir 2017;Katchanovski 2016) and the decline of the Ukrainian economy and associated dramatic fall in living standards (Jaroszewicz 2018). Despite its exceptional scale and relation to military security, this migration has not yet been analysed from an EU context within critical security studies, particularly with regards to securitisation theory.…”

The article investigates the reaction of the Polish technocratic security dispositif to the arrival of Ukrainian migrants in Poland between 2014-2020. It contributes to the studies on securitisation and on technocracy by proposing to re-conceptualise research on the security practices towards migration, drawing upon the notions of a security dispositif and regime of practices. It is exemplified by migration from Ukraine to Poland. The paper distinguishes three regimes of practices within Polish migration control: state ignorance, technocratic governance and neighbourhood. Contrary to most securitisation practices on migration to the European Union from the South, there have been very few populist ‘speech acts’ by Polish political agents that would have positioned the migration from Ukraine as an existential threat. The article concludes that the Polish security dispositif mainly mobilised state ignorance as a resource in governing migration, since neither new legal nor institutional practices were adopted to address the increased arrivals of Ukrainians. Simultaneously, this was accompanied by an internal logic of technocratic governance and its ubiquitous strategic tendency to widen surveillance and control capacities towards foreigners. The article also highlights the role of local identity and the politics of memory in governing Ukrainian migration to Poland.
