Summary/Abstract: The article analyses Russia's use of propaganda and disinformation against Ukraine from 2014 to 2024. It shows how Russia combined civilian and military information tools - rooted in Soviet traditions and modern techniques - to shape narratives, manipulate public opinion, and justify aggression. Early Russian efforts proved effective, but their impact declined as Ukraine developed strong information resilience through state reforms, strategic communications, and civil-society initiatives. The study highlights shifting propaganda themes before and after the 2022 invasion and contrasts their influence on Russian and Ukrainian public opinion.
