PUBLIC DIPLOMACY OF UKRAINE UNDER MARTIAL LAW

Abstract

Abstract. The article describes the political-diplomatic, economic-investment, cultural-artistic and educational, as well as public and media instruments used by the state and civic institutions of Ukraine in public diplomacy during 2022-2023. It was established that the instruments made it possible to ensure the refutation of false information about Ukraine and relevant events, as well as encourage the unification of international efforts to provide comprehensive assistance to the state and its citizens. The strengthening of the economic, cultural, and educational component of foreign policy activity, which will be implemented both under the ongoing state of war and post-war peacebuilding, can become promising directions of Ukraine’s public diplomacy. At the same time, Ukraine’s trauma-informed public diplomacy will focus on disseminating information about the nation’s achievements and spiritual values, restoring cultural stability, overcoming existential anxieties, and providing assistance to other countries.
