Опис: The NGO “USSD” continues its annual project on monitoring military activity worldwide. Presenting to you the “War Index-2023.”

In 2023, the Russian-Ukrainian war emerged as the most significant global event, becoming one of the most extensive conflicts since the Korean War in terms of technical intensity and the largest European conflict since 1945.
The Palestinian-Israeli war, triggered by a terrorist attack from Hamas on Israel, evolved into a military operation in the Gaza Strip, posing a threat of becoming a global conflict between Israel and the Arab world.
Tensions are rising in the Pacific region, particularly concerning Taiwan in the lead-up to the island’s elections. North Korea’s demonstration of military threats and readiness for war adds to the anxiety.
In less developed states, prolonged conflicts persist, although many are decreasing in intensity through negotiation processes (such as in Ethiopia). Conflicts are spreading across other continents, with South America witnessing Argentina demanding sovereignty over the Falkland Islands from Britain, and Venezuela considering the annexation of the disputed Guyana-Essequibo region, backed by a potential referendum.
Yemeni Houthi attacks on civilian ships in the Red Sea jeopardize global supply chain security, with 15% of the world’s trade passing through the Red Sea.
West Africa remains tense as Russia exacerbates instability and supports military coups. Power continues to be a decisive factor in resolving international disputes, as seen in Azerbaijan’s resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.
A notable feature is the resurgence of conventional warfare means, with numerous armies engaged in frontal clashes. Simultaneously, the importance of technological advancement, particularly in data accuracy and speed, is evident.
The Russian-Ukrainian war is part of a global confrontation, the “quiet third world war,” unfolding since 2011 in various theaters of military action. It is a war without a formal declaration, involving all components of the “fourth-generation warfare,” breaking out through open military conflicts. Alongside the U.S.-China proxy confrontation, regional leaders such as Iran and Turkey actively engage in power competition.
The influence of networked militarized formations and the emergence of quasi-state instruments are strengthening. These quasi-states fill the gaps in “dead zones” beyond the influence of national states and regional leaders, resulting from strategic superpower rivalry. Private armies are fully engaged in these activities.
Direct military interventions, along with the widespread use of non-military pressure and coercion tools, reinforce the trend of using force to achieve political goals.
