- Abstract
The armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused tectonic upheavals at the international political scene. Hence, the emerging fear of a new World War has determined the role of the international community in dealing with the consequences of such large military conflicts. Regrettably, such armed conflicts have resulted in catastrophic consequences for the lives of the civilian population, a large number of human losses, almost 10 million refugees and displaced persons, as well as a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. Concurrently, the world is facing the possibility of an ecological disaster (nuclear disaster) whose consequences are difficult to predict too. In addition, energy crisis has slowed down the technical-technological development of the industrialized countries, which has resulted in an increase of the prices of almost all commodities. Consequently, poverty in all countries has increased, especially in the countries dependent on Russian energy. Finally, the instability of the trading markets also discourages investors as the basic financial source for consumer societies thus further complicating the overall economic situation. To this end, hybrid research has been carried out to determine the fake news during this conflict and their impact on the Macedonian population. Fake news is created to achieve political, economic or military supremacy over a particular state, political or economic subject. Thus, through social media, true, semi-true and false information is created and disseminated for a particular auditorium to influence their emotions, motives, morals and desires. At the same time to influence the behavior of state and non-state actors.
