55 ensuring national security is becoming a key priority of state policy. Identification of these threats, their sources of origin, the scale of possible consequences, as well as means of their prevention and neutralization is today a very urgent problem of ensuring the national security of Ukraine. The key task for ensuring national security is to create a comprehensive, holistic, integrated system of national security at the public, state, and political levels, which involves the complementary development of the armed forces, diplomacy, and propaganda. Society in this complex plays the role of a source of resources and a base of loyalty; the state and the political system play the role of a mobilizing and organizing factor; armed forces, diplomacy, propaganda play the role of means of implementing national security priorities. [1] The Law of Ukraine "On National Security" determines that the fundamental national interests of Ukraine are:  state sovereignty and territorial integrity, democratic constitutional order, non-interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine;  sustainable development of the national economy, civil society and the state to ensure an increase in the level and quality of life of the population;  integration of Ukraine into the European political, economic, security, legal space, membership in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, development of equal and mutually beneficial relations with other states. [2] It is worth noting, that military aggression, information and psychological operations, and cyber threats have become a prerequisite for internal communications to become a critical element of the functioning of the national security system. They determine the speed of making management decisions, the level of trust within institutions, and the ability to coordinate actions. Danger is created by everything that destroys state independence, generates instability and outbreaks of violence, and erodes and destroys the established and identifying ideas of the national political community about itself and the world.
