Ukrainian Media During the War

Abstract

In the information warfare with Russia, a culture plays an important role, because one of the main theses of Russian propaganda is that there is no Ukrainian identity, and everything Ukrainian was created by the communist government of the beginning of the XX century. The study analyzed news websites that debunk Russian fakes about the situation at the front, how Ukrainian media in the field of culture changed the vector of their work, adapting to the conditions of the information warfare. The editorial policy has changed significantly. Now more meticulous factchecking takes place, as Russian propaganda works even more inventively. Media workers carefully review the profiles of organizations that offer help, ñ sometimes they may be genuine volunteers, and sometimes they may be fake. The war is a tough challenge for any business, and even more so for independent online media. Most of them received income and paid for the work of journalists with advertisements or subscriber subscriptions. However, in wartime, these resources are limited.
