» Since Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the deterioration of Russian relations with the West, governments, policy gurus and defence institutions have been seized by what many call the country's new "hybrid warfare". By these accounts, Russia has challenged the current order by using a "mixture of military and non-military means of aggression, a combination of covert and overt operations and measures", according to Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, to achieve its political ends. But labelling every action by the Russian government as hybrid has its drawbacks. Hybrid warfare is not some new form of Russian strategy; there are new challenges emerging from the confrontation with Russia, but to label everything as "hybrid" is to lack the accuracy and precision needed to confront this challenge.
