The article analyzes Russia's hybrid war against Ukraine by identifying political, military, and information-psychological threats. Considerable attention is focused on measures to counter these threats since a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has become a turning point in world history. It has challenged the world's perception of its security, disrupted the global order, threatened the independence of one of the largest countries in Europe, brought back the specter of nuclear confrontation, destroyed the global economy, threatened famine in many regions of the world, created energy and environmental crises, and has already led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.Ukraine is currently experiencing a large-scale war that has all the means, features, and specifics of a future war. This experience should be studied to prevent future wars' terrible consequences. Ukrainians are not only witnesses and targets of a brutal military confrontation but also victims of hybrid aggression by the Russian Federation. As a result, government activity is aimed at deepening European and Euro-Atlantic integration as a tool for preserving state sovereignty. Therefore, practical research was conducted on the attitude of the Ukrainian public toward Ukraine's integration with the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
