De-Facto puppet states, like Abkhazia and the Donetsk People's Republic, function as regular states but lack broad international recognition. Russia has strategically used these entities in its hybrid warfare approach.

This modern warfare involves a blend of information campaigns, covert 'little green men' forces, and political subversion. The aim is to destabilise target nations, quickly seize control, and establish a de facto puppet state.

Russia's success in places like Ukraine highlights this tactic's effectiveness, challenging Western nations to devise countermeasures against these covert operations.
