Abstract

The article analyzes the importance of information and communication activities during the war. In particular, it is determined that today there is a battle between Ukraine and the Russian Federation for a narrative, where both countries are looking for legitimacy and success in spreading correct information for themselves, because the perception of these narratives directly affects the course of hostilities. The article outlines the main narratives promoted by Ukraine and Russia. The research hypothesis is that the world's first war of social networks is taking place in Ukraine. The interdependence between the spread of the mobile Internet, access to modern gadgets and the activity of propaganda activities in social networks is analyzed. The main attention in intelligence is paid to the Internet as one of the most influential channels of communication, which is capable of reaching the maximum number of recipients in the shortest possible time, who then distribute the necessary information independently. The article proves that it is social networks that contain a large share of disinformation, which is "thrown in" by information scraps and fake pages. It is noted that fake or untrue content has a much higher chance of spreading than true information. The article reveals the communication and technological specificity of the Internet environment in terms of propaganda influence, for which even the leading Ukrainian broadcasters (STUDIYA "1+1", "UA: First", "Rada", "ICTV", "STB" and "Ukraine 24 ") united in the joint telethon "Edyni Novyni" to show the official position of the state, sometimes use unverified information from the Internet and, accordingly, resort to spreading fakes or disinformation. In this context, the activity of the single news marathon against the background of the single information pool of Russia, which is under the control of the Kremlin, is analyzed.
