Hybrid Warfare = Conventional Warfare + Soft Power (Special Operations, Diplomacy, Economics, Media)

Which is as old as military history
That's why the fuss about the terminology makes me grin each time it reaches the media

You rarely go to war without convincing your population, hence you need Media support or campaign
You rarely go to war without weakening first your opponent, through economical strangling hence the Economics part
You rarely go to war without strenghtening your allies ties and trying to cut your opfor from his own allies hence the Diplomacy part
And you rarely go to war without information/spying/risk assessment hence the Special Ops/Spy/Intell part

Yes, it's possible that the subject being discussed is one specifically related to Western warfare, rather than just being about Russia's intentions or capabilities.
