Abstract: This article analyzes the approaches of NATO member states intelligence agencies towards assessing threats that have a destructive impact on their and Ukraine's national security, considering the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the consequences of Russian aggression, and changes in the international policies of leading countries. It has been proved that special services of the above-mentioned states prioritize the following destabilizing factors of influence: unlawful interference in the country's internal affairs, sponsorship of extremism and terrorism, numerous cyberattacks on various information structures and networks, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and influence operations, etc. It has been determined that a particular danger to the national security of NATO member states is primarily the intelligence and subversive activities of Russian and Chinese special services as an integral part of the state security architecture of these countries. NATO member states special services also take into consideration the destructive influence on national security caused by the intelligence services of Iran and Turkey since these countries support the aggressive policy of the Russian Federation in the international political arena.
