THE ERA OF MILITARY ASYMMETRICITY: MAIN PLAYERS OF THE MODERN ; ЕПОХА ВОЄННОЇ АСИМЕТРИЧНОСТІ: ОСНОВНІ ГРАВЦІ СУЧАСНОСТІ
The modern world is quite unpredictable, and the trends of the world order of the XXI century indicate an increasing global security crisis. Violations of international law, hybrid wars, as well as new (non-traditional) forms of warfare have a particularly negative impact on the security of countries around the world, including Ukraine. With the intensification of globalization and the development of the information society, new problems arise that threaten not only some specific participants in the armed conflict, but world order and security in general. One of the key issues today is global terrorism. The article describes modern non-traditional wars as an example of military asymmetry, identifies its main players; the dominant ways of resolving conflicts and the influence of the international community on this process are considered; emphasis is placed on ways to prevent the expansion of the conflict in Ukraine. Changes in the world, the international system, which occur after the fall of the bipolar system lead to the formation of a new, unlike any previous system of international relations, a kind of universe. Features of international relations, global processes, changes and technological advances characteristic of modernity affect the nature and forms of warfare. It is important to understand how, along with many other processes, the causes and process of hostilities and military clashes are changing. Ukraine has also become an arena of hostilities, an example of non-traditional warfare. The studied chronology and methods of Russia's influence on Ukraine show that the war in Donbass is only one of the stages of systemic influence. International law is not only becoming a means of influence, it is becoming a screen that its subjects are trying to bypass. Hence the increase in "unconventional" wars, atypical phenomena for classical warfare. The number of potential actors in the war is increasing. The set of methods of its management and spaces in which it can proceed increases. There are more and more types of war. ; Сучасний світ досить непередбачуваний, а тенденції розвитку світового порядку ХХІ століття свідчать про все більш наростаючу глобальну безпекову кризу. Порушення норм міжнародного права, гібридні війни, а також нові (нетрадиційні) форми ведення війни особливо негативно впливають на безпеку країн світу, в тому числі й України. Розглянуто сучасні нетрадиційні війни як приклад воєнної асиметричності, зазначено її основних гравців; розглянуті домінуючі способи вирішення конфліктів та вплив міжнародної спільноти на цей процес; акцентовано увагу на шляхах запобігання розширення ареалу конфлікту на території України
