Family Values of Ukraine in the Face of Threats of Hybrid War

The article is devoted to the clarification of modern trends in the science of civil law in the development of spheres and groups of relations, as well as values that require special attention and legal/legal regulation/protection of their participants, in view of the threats of hybrid war. The authors of the article, in particular, include those family values that have been under the destructive influence of all manifestations of hybrid war. Doctrinal analysis of those values that underlie civilizational self-identification, and therefore the Ukrainian “family” mentality and, accordingly, the level and nature of the threats of hybrid war to family values, as well as the determination of measures to reduce the degree of such threats, in particular, self-defense, is the main goal of this article. In the process of research, the authors used many of the traditional methods of scientific knowledge for jurisprudence: dialectical, comparative legal, formal-logical and others. It is concluded that hybrid war is simultaneously a background against which a destructive tide of family values takes place, and also has one of the goals of influencing such values, their deformation or even destruction. The need to strengthen the family, family values becomes all the more important, the stronger the general negative impact of war on society becomes. The above leads to the conclusion that family values during the hybrid war in the active phases of the latter should be considered not only from the perspective of the need to expand civil liberties, liberalize public views, respect for the rights of various representatives of the population, but also from the perspective of preserving family values, increasing the role of the family in solving the general task of survival of society in the existential confrontation with Russian aggression. The position on the inexpediency of repealing the Family Code of Ukraine is substantiated. Instead, it is advisable to supplement and improve the Family Code of Ukraine, filling it with norms that are required by life in wartime and post-war times. A proposal has been made to rename it, following the Polish model, into the Family and Guardianship Code, with a definition of the Family as the basic concept in this area and the corresponding extension of the effect of this Code to family and related relationships
