ABSTRACT

This chapter is devoted to the non-physical domain of warfare, paying attention to the information and cyber segments of the war. Accordingly, the first part of the chapter looks into the Ukrainian and Russian approaches to the information aspect of the war, and the conditions and tools that enabled various achievements within this segment of the war. Attention is also paid to the international community and the phenomenon of NAFO. From the military perspective of the changing character of war and greater openness of the battlespace, the question of open-source intelligence (OSINT) is addressed. Finally, the cyber domain of the war is explored, followed by a discussion of various points for consideration within the information and cyber segments of the war. The cyber segment illustrates greater civil–military collaboration in handling cybersecurity threats and attacks.
