The purpose of this article is to study the impact of a hybrid war on the volatility of financial markets. The data on the returns of Ukrainian, Russian, German, American, English and French stock indices are taken from the Boursorama database during the tension period from November 10, 2021 to February 23, 2022. The results of our study with the ARCH / GARCH models show that military escalation conveyed by aggressive speeches, arms transfers, troop massification, fake news, military exercises, threats of sanctions, suspicions of invasion as well as de-escalation conveyed by talks, soothing speeches, cessation of military exercises and withdrawal of Russian troops from the Ukrainian border significantly impact the volatility of the stock market indexes studied. This work could be useful to understand the anticipation and the reaction of rational and irrational investors on the markets in case of a hybrid war situation but also the contagion that this could generate on the other financial markets through the channels of financial contagion in this context of hybrid war that are the dependence on certain commodities (gas, wheat, oil) and also a psychological contagion due to the extreme fear and the emotion of investors on the markets.
