ABSTRACT The war in Donbas has caused significant changes in the attitudes and values of Ukrainians. The army, which was considered a completely corrupt and outdated institution before 2014, turned into one of the country’s most trusted political actors. The significant stream of volunteers who joined the army, and the subsequent high level of financial support provided by Ukrainian people, are among the reasons for this shift. All of these factors, together with the ongoing low-grade war in Ukraine, explain the heightened interest in how the army communicates with the rest of the country. This research is aimed at looking more deeply at the narratives which underlie official military communication in Ukraine and to identify changes, if any, occurring throughout the period from 2014 to 2017. This study focuses on the gap in understanding how the military institution regards the war in Donbas and through which narratives it communicates the war to its audience.

谁是乌克兰的敌人：军事交流中关于顿巴斯战争的叙述

摘要顿巴斯战争使乌克兰人的态度和价值观发生了重大变化。军队在 2014 年之前被认为是一个完全腐败和过时的机构，现在变成了该国最值得信赖的政治角色之一。加入军队的大量志愿者以及随后乌克兰人民提供的高水平财政支持是这种转变的原因之一。所有这些因素，再加上乌克兰正在进行的低级战争，解释了人们对军队如何与该国其他地区沟通的高度兴趣。这项研究旨在更深入地研究乌克兰官方军事交流背后的叙述，并确定 2014 年至 2017 年期间发生的变化（如果有的话）。
