The media system, public and volunteer organizations are a powerful “weapon” under martial law, which protects the people and the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the influence of Russian propaganda and misinformation in the course of informational and psychological warfare. The war and European integration processes cause a number of changes in the activities of public policy providers. In this regard, the aim of the article is to study the transformation of activity of public policy providers under martial law and European integration, as well as their impact on social processes. The main methods of the article are doctrinal approach and statistical methods. The conducted research established that “social provider” is an apt brand of a modern socially beneficial public organization. The important role of the changes made to the existing legislation regarding public policy providers after the full-scale invasion was noted, especially in the context of the harmonization of the national legal framework with the EU legal framework. Some indicators of the consumption of mass information were analysed. The further research may focus on an in-depth analysis of the influence of manipulations on public views using the example of one of the leading online media channels.
