DANGEROUS THREATS IN THE INFORMATION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SPHERE OF UKRAINE’S HUMANITARIAN SECURITY UNDER WAR CONDITIONS
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of hazardous threats in the information and psychological domain of Ukraine’s humanitarian security under conditions of war. The study examines the nature of information and psychological influences as an integral component of hybrid aggression and identifies their destructive impact on the humanitarian sphere, in particular on education, culture, social relations, and the mental health of the population. It is scientifically substantiated that disinformation, manipulation of mass consciousness, and psychological pressure constitute systemic threats aimed at undermining social resilience and national identity. Special attention is paid to the role of the state and civil society in shaping effective mechanisms for countering information and psychological threats. It is also demonstrated that the effective provision of humanitarian security is possible only through comprehensive interaction between state institutions and civil initiatives, the development of strategic communications, and the enhancement of the population’s information culture. A priority and urgent task is to identify prospects for further scientific research in the field of developing information and psychological resilience of society under martial law and during Ukraine’s post-war transformation. The development of resilience—the ability of individuals, communities, systems, and the state to withstand stress, crises, and shocks, to adapt to them, and to recover – will make it possible to preserve core functions and ensure the sustainable development of the country.
