At the times of Russia's full-scale military aggression against Ukraine, research designed to unite the scientific community of Ukraine around the preservation of common national interests becomes especially relevant. A new interdisciplinary method of linguistic research – critical discourse analysis (CDA) makes it possible to systematically analyze the media space of the Russian-Ukrainian war and establish the semantic dominants and ideological presuppositions of the war discourse. It is important that the modern scientific research of Ukrainian scientists is clearly aimed at supporting the national and security priorities of Ukraine in times of war.
The urgency of conducting a critical analysis of the discourse of the world's leading politicians, intellectuals, and opinion leaders is determined by the need to shape public opinion and raise awareness in order to support Ukraine and condemn Russia's aggressive military actions against our independent state. The analysis of ideological presuppositions of influential people makes it possible to reveal the level of their commitment to democratic values and readiness to support Ukraine in the media and scientific space.
