Hybrid conflicts are a new type of conflict involving all types of state and non-state stakeholders, thus disrupting the conventional distinction between military and civilians. They are also defined by the use of conventional and unconventional means of combat and by the fact that these are not limited to a battlefield or even to a specific physical area. Is the conflict that has been going on since 2014 in Donbass, the eastern part of Ukraine, a particularly relevant example of a “hybrid conflict”?
