Abstract:
The development of information warfare in the world and the issue of information security in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war play an important role in the context of ensuring international stability and favorable further economic, social, and political development. An essential research direction is to characterize the theoretical, practical, and methodological foundations of information warfare, its features, structural elements, and objectives. The legal nature of information warfare deterrence is an important aspect of the study in this article. The possibility of ensuring legal deterrence of information attacks and preventing the development of information warfare is a prerequisite for overall international stability. In the article, the current legal aspects of responding to information warfare and key regulations ensuring the information security of the international space are analyzed. The peculiarities of information warfare development are studied from the perspective of modern armed conflicts and the key reasons for their occurrence, which are accompanied by the practice of information warfare. Attention is paid to the issues of information warfare in Ukraine from the standpoint of strengthening the need for prompt response to information campaigns, timely detection, and prevention by taking appropriate measures in the economic and political space. The key principles and directions of using information warfare as a tool for gaining competitive advantages are described. The results of the article indicate that the practice of information warfare is spreading to the general political space in the world and that there is an increasing need to regulate the circulation of harmful information while ensuring access to it. This study may be useful for building an effective legal framework and principles of information security based on the experience of information warfare in Ukraine.
