This thesis aims to study the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and their public diplomacy implications. Contrary to the views of some scholars who argued that public diplomacy informs a wider audience as objectively as possible, this thesis argues that sometimes states use public diplomacy in order to promote their subjective positions by influencing the public opinion in national, regional, and global context. This thesis considers the use of public diplomacy in Ukraine and Russia as the affirmation of this hypothesis. In the first chapter, an introduction will be given. The thesis is composed of six chapters. After the introductory chapter, the second chapter focuses on the concept of public diplomacy. The third chapter scrutinizes the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. The fourth chapter elaborates on Russia’s public diplomacy, while in the fifth chapter Ukraine’s public diplomacy is analysed. The concluding chapter discusses the main findings of this thesis.
