The scientist’s report – “The idea of «unity» in the diplomatic discourse of the state during the war” – was devoted to the problems of the development of public diplomacy, the concept of «unity», which during the war became especially important for Ukrainian diplomacy and for defining its main tasks – development of the main directions of content and strategic communications for public diplomacy, the use of modern communication channels in the report of key messages, the consideration and inclusion of strategic communications in the agenda of countries and organizations where relevant measures are implemented. Diplomatic efforts during the war, the speaker stressed, are extremely important.
