The work presents theoretical aspects based on the work of well-known Ukrainian researchers and journalists. Among such published figures are I. Krupskyi, S. Gorevalov, N. Zykun, G. Kryvosheya, N. Pidmohylna. The purpose of the work is a thorough study of the peculiarities of information coverage in the conditions of a military conflict, using the example of Ukrainian and foreign mass media. The object of the research is the content of the domestic ("TSN") and foreign ("Deutsche Welle") media about the military conflict started by the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine. The paper analyzes the role of journalists in the period of the military conflict, and also defines the features of war coverage on the example of domestic and foreign media. The research is based on the use of the content analysis method, which made it possible to effectively analyze the highlighted events related to the war in Ukraine. In addition, the historical and comparative method is the basis of the work, which made it possible to determine the periods of emergence, formation and formation of military journalism in Ukraine, as well as to investigate the differences in the coverage of the Russian-Ukrainian war between domestic and foreign media. The results of the research showed that since the invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine, the role of military journalism has increased significantly, and since February 24, 2022, the mass media of our country have even more actively focused their attention on the informational struggle against the aggressor. The research also revealed that foreign mass media also publish a lot of information about events in Ukraine. This allows the whole world to know and understand the truth that Russia is a terrorist country. Keywords – media, journalism, war, ethics, law. References 1. Agnes I.
