Information law in the context of information aggression

The issues of information law in the context of hybrid warfare, which includes issues of cybersecurity, countering disinformation, protecting information sovereignty and freedom of speech, have become particularly relevant and one of the key areas of legal research in response to large-scale information aggression against Ukraine. The purpose of the study was to investigate the regulatorʼs response to external factors in the form of hybrid information warfare. The research used methods of comparative analysis, a systematic approach, and a formal logical method. The study analysed key aspects of the functioning of information law under martial law, in particular, its ability to ensure freedom of speech and access to reliable information. The legal mechanisms that ensure information security were investigated, considering the latest forms of information aggression, including cyber threats, propaganda, disinformation, and manipulation in social networks. The practice of international cooperation in the field of information security was summarised and it was established that effective counteraction to hybrid warfare requires adaptation of the legal environment to the conditions of the latest information and communication technologies. Contemporary legislative initiatives in Ukraine in the field of information security were analysed and ways to improve national information legislation were proposed, in particular, in the areas of cybersecurity, personal data protection, countering fakes, and regulating media activities. The practical value of the study lies in the possibility of using its results by legislators, law enforcement agencies, researchers and specialists in the field of cybersecurity to develop and implement an effective information policy in the context of a military conflict
