    Ukrainian-Russian Relations (1991-2024) in the Definitions of Historical and Political Science Discourse
    (Гельветика, 2025) Штагер Тетяна; Shtaher Tetiana
    The article examines the transformation of Ukrainian-Russian relations between 1991 and 2024 through the conceptual framework of historical and political science discourse. This period is characterized by a shift from formal cooperation to open confrontation, culminating in Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Particular attention is paid to information warfare as a central element of hybrid threats that define the contemporary stage of bilateral relations. It is interpreted not only as a tool for manipulating public consciousness but also as a mechanism for constructing an alternative reality in which war crimes are justified and expansionist policies legitimized.The purpose of the study is to substantiate the essence and significance of the definitions used to describe the processes of information warfare and hybrid threats within the Ukrainian-Russian context. The methodological framework combines general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, discourse analysis of historical and political narratives, and the use of Ukrainian legal acts together with international scholarly findings (notably the Erasmus+ WARN project). The article systematizes such concepts as hybrid warfare, information warfare, propaganda, disinformation, manipulation, astroturfing, bots, deepfake, and echo chambers, which reflect the new forms of influence characteristic of the digital age.The scientific novelty lies in integrating historical-political approaches with information studies, thereby revealing the multidimensional nature of the ongoing conflict. For the first time, the conceptual apparatus of Ukrainian-Russian relations is presented as an integrated system encompassing technical (cyberattacks, cyber espionage), communicative (propaganda, bots, fake news), and ideological (instrumentalization of history, the Russian World, the Great Patriotic War) components. This approach explains the effectiveness of Russian information aggression while simultaneously outlining possible counter-strategies.The conclusions emphasize that information warfare has become a decisive factor in the transformation of Ukrainian-Russian relations between 1991 and 2024. Its systemic and multi-level nature has enabled Russia to influence both domestic public opinion and international discourse. The practical significance of the study lies in applying the conceptual framework to develop state information policies, strengthen societal resilience to hybrid threats, and design Ukrainian counter-narratives. Future research should focus on analyzing international initiatives in the field of information security and incorporating Ukraine’s experience into the global context of countering information warfare.
