Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze how information operations were conducted in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine during the annexation of Crimea in 2014, focusing on Information-Related Capabilities and their impact on the conflict’s outcomes. The relevance of this topic lies in the need to understand how the manipulation of information through cyber warfare, social communication, and psychological operations can influence the outcomes of armed conflicts. To achieve this objective, the methodology employed was a case study based on bibliographic research and document analysis. The work was based on the analysis of Information- Related Capabilities used by Russia during the conflict, aiming to understand how these operations influenced the military and political dynamics. By interrelating this procedure with the historical event, it was observed how the effective combination of information operations carried out by Russia played a crucial role in the success of the annexation of Crimea. The research also compared these tactics with the information operations doctrine of the Brazilian Navy, providing lessons for the enhancement of its capabilities.
