The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by Ukraine's European integration aspirations and the need to bring its legal system into line with European standards, creation of the state image of an independent state striving for integration with the European community. The aim of the research is to investigate the reform of the legal system in the context of Ukraine's integration into the EU in the face of hybrid threats and to search for legal mechanisms to counter such hybrid threats. The author used descriptive, comparative (comparative legal), and legal act analysis methods. Special attention was paid to special methods of scientific research, in particular, the method of interpreting legal norms. As a result of the study, the author concluded that Ukraine has made significant progress in aligning its legal system with European standards, but there is still much work to be done in this direction. The author formulated recommendations for developing mechanisms to counter hybrid threats, both at the level of Ukraine and at the pan-European level. In particular, it was proposed to develop a single pan-European strategy to combat hybrid threats at the EU level. The implementation of the proposed recommendations, in particular, will lead to the integration.
