Abstract

The article explores Internet memes as a tool of information warfare in the context of Russian-Ukrainian war. Popular Ukrainian Internet memes about Russian warship, Palianytsia, Chornobayivka, chmonya and "gesture of goodwill" are analyzed. Ironic and non-aggressive Ukrainian Internet memes promote messages about the pseudo-might of "second army of the world", destruction of the "Russian world", a strong and professional Ukrainian army as well as inevitable victory of Ukraine in the war. The image of civilized, peaceful, united and invincible Ukrainian nation is also shaped by memes.
