Аналіз підтримки, що надається протиборчим сторонам у сучасних воєнних конфліктах та її вплив на можливість проведення операцій з підтримання миру та безпеки

Abstract

The article highlights the need to take into account the types of support of the warring parties in military conflicts and the transformation of the content of peacekeeping and security operations in the face of the factor of overt and covert support of the parties to the conflict by other states. It has been determined that most conflicts are supported externally in one way or another, and this has a significant impact on the content and possibility of peacekeeping operations. The main categories (types) of support of the parties to the military conflict from the outside are given. It has been investigated that external support is also a factor influencing the duration and intensity of modern military conflicts. It is noted that the military-political leadership of the state chooses an appropriate strategy for resolving the conflict without taking into account the behavior of the other side of the conflict and the nature of the assistance provided to it. Such assistance can be provided simultaneously in many areas of the existing confrontation - political support, economic and financial support, supply of weapons and equipment, training. The experience of conflict resolution in eastern Ukraine has shown that the support provided by the Russian Federation is comprehensive and increases or decreases in areas that correspond to the overall strategy of creating a certain environment of influence on the leadership of Ukraine. The analysis of the Russian hybrid aggression against Ukraine showed that despite the support of the world community for the territorial integrity of the UN, the OSCE is not enough to prevent the conflict in the East from escalating into large-scale armed aggression by Russia. In general, constant monitoring and analysis of the formats of modern peacekeeping and security operations, and especially their results will focus the military-political leadership of the state on promising areas and formats of cooperation with regional and global security organizations in maintaining peace and security in Ukraine.
