There revealed Russia's intentions regarding destructive methods of information and psychological influence both from outside and inside Ukraine, aimed at weakening and splitting the country from within through engineering and exacerbating existing political, socio-economic, ethnic and other contradictions.

Key words: state security, information threats, hybrid war, information war, information-psychological influence.
