Russia is engaging in hybrid warfare with ‘the West’ (broadly defined as the liberal democracies that make up NATO) and its allies. This hybrid warfare occasionally involves kinetic action — such as the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia and the 2014 intervention in Ukraine and annexation of Crimea — but most of the activity is nonviolent information warfare. The Kremlin weaponizes money, culture and information in an effort to shatter enemy communications, demoralize its enemies and disrupt enemy command structures.
