Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of detailed analysis of the UATV – Ukrainian state news channel addressed to foreign audiences. The research is carried out in the context of the operational activity of television with international coverage, using desk research as well as the analysis of the content of messages published in 2019 on UATV’s website about the conflict in the Donbas area and the annexed Crimea. Both issues polarize Ukrainian society primarily in the aspect of nationality identification. Due to the special status of UATV as a television channel that has been fulfilling the information purposes of the Ukrainian state, it shall be considered as a propaganda tool rather than a channel of public diplomacy.
