由于俄罗斯对乌克兰的不正当入侵，混合战争正在展出。其特点是对平民犯下了许多罪行，在占领布查镇期间，强奸、酷刑、谋杀和抢劫似乎反映了俄罗斯的军事政策、领导和指挥指导。特别令人关切的是，医院和保健以及重要的生命支持系统受到威胁。许多医院被损坏和摧毁。医院不是战术性军事目标，以保健设施和人员为目标无视传统的战时法，无视为稳定全球秩序而制定的许多公约。俄罗斯在乌克兰宣布的“特别行动”的特点是野蛮战争，俄罗斯军队对平民和民用基础设施使用武器。侵略者通过袭击基础设施发动了一场有目的的恐怖运动，这些袭击除了打击该国人民的士气外，没有什么军事价值。这一点在俄罗斯导弹和无人机对乌克兰的电力、水和医疗保健的袭击中显而易见。现在和未来的战争可能会越来越多地以打击平民的士气和削弱人民及其政府的抵抗意志为目标。乌克兰的入侵清楚地表明，这种混合战争的使用应该在尽可能早的阶段得到国际社会的强烈反应，特别是所谓爱好和平的中立国家，否则未来将扩大非法和野蛮的军事冲突。
Hybrid Warfare is on display because of the unjustified Russian invasion of Ukraine. This is characterized by numerous crimes against civilians as seen vividly during the occupation of the town of Bucha where rape, torture, murder, and looting seem to reflect Russian military policy, leadership, and command guidance. Of particular concern is the threat to hospitals and health care as well as vital life support. Numerous hospitals have been damaged and destroyed. Hospitals are not tactical military targets and targeting health care facilities and personnel ignores traditional jus in bello and ignores numerous conventions established to stabilize the global order. The Russian-proclaimed “special operation” in Ukraine has been characterized by barbarian warfare in which the Russian military uses weapons against the civilian population and civilian infrastructure. The aggressors have embarked on a purposeful terror campaign through infrastructure attacks, which are of little military value except to demoralize the nation’s people. This is evident with Russian missile and drone attacks on electric, water, and health care in Ukraine. Warfare now and in the future may be increasingly aimed at demoralizing civilian populations and reducing the will of the people and their government to resist. The Ukrainian invasion clearly shows that this use of hybrid warfare should be met with a strong reaction of the international community at the earliest possible stage, especially the supposedly peace-loving neutral countries, or else the future is expanded unlawful and barbaric military conflict.
