The article examines the challenges and threats associated with disinforma- tion and propaganda in the context of informational threats spread by the Russian Federation in the current conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war. A significant intensification of hostile informational and psychological in- fluences since the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine has been proven. The extent of destructive propaganda and disinformation by the Russian Federation is summarized. The main target audiences and objects of influence have been determined. Mechanisms, tools and means of informational and psychological operations have been established. Signs of hostile propaganda and disinformation are identified as the main components of informational and psychological influences and their characteris- tics are provided. The main narratives that the Russian Federation spreads and tries to impose on its own citizens, Ukrainians and the world public are characterized. Special attention is paid to the study of the differences be- tween means of influence and information content depending on the change of the target audience. It was determined that Russia uses both traditional and new forms and methods of disinformation aimed at discrediting the state, the Ukrainian authorities and the army. It has been established that Russian informational and psychological influences are a systemic problem that requires systemic solutions and the development of multi-level coun- termeasures.
