Abstract
Using its well developed and practiced programs in propaganda, deception and
denial, Russia has conducted its hybrid warfare and anti-access area denial strategy
using the 21st century information technologies of communication. In light of Russia’s
annexation of Crimea, Romania felt threatened by Russia’s use of information campaign,
especially the narratives that seem to have polarized the Romanian society and
discredited the NATO establishment from its prompt execution of its Article 5
commitment. Confronted with these threats, Romania and NATO must understand war
in the hybrid domain on an aggregate and its effect on Romania in particular.
Keywords: hybrid warfare, Russia, propaganda, disinformation.
