Abstract
This study analyses political manipulation as a component of political communication within the context of information warfare. It aims to provide an objective assessment of the nature and content of this phenomenon. The research examines the technologies and techniques of political manipulation as an effective communication tool in the modern Russian-Ukrainian war, which is not exclusively a military armed confrontation but is hybrid and multidimensional. The study provides a systematic analysis that combines general scientific and specific methods. It presents the fundamental techniques of political manipulation and identifies the main trends in the development of political manipulation technologies in the context of information confrontation and warfare. The research concludes that manipulation, as a component of political communication, can be carried out at different levels: interpersonal, intragroup, intergroup, and mass. The authors highlight the effects of political manipulation on the quality of political communication in Ukrainian society, specifically in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. They stress the need to develop effective methods to counteract manipulative influence as a crucial component of political communication in the modern information space. The study emhasises the effectiveness of countering political and manipulative influences in the information and communication space by observing the principles of impartiality, timely confirmation of information with documents and verified facts, and finding alternative sources of information. The authors conclude that countering hostile manipulative technologies and information manipulative influence should become the basis of the State's domestic and foreign policy. This policy should focus on protecting the information space and enhancing the level of information security.
