Social media gave Ukraine new ways to spread information that aided the resistance's determination and attracted outside assistance, but it gave Russia ways to spread “fog”. Five of the six Western Balkan nations have placed sanctions on Russia and support Ukraine. Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, used NATO's 1999 operation in Kosovo as a precedent. The research on the media's influence on the public's perception of the war in Ukraine, however, has been evaluated with particular interest not only for media studies and their report to the audience but also for the current importance of this topic, given the complex situation in the Western Balkans and the context of tensions between Kosovo and Serbia. This research looks into how the media have impacted the public's perception of the war in Ukraine as well as how television has covered the situation both before and after the invasion. Therefore, a mixed methodology consisting of a survey, media monitoring, data analysis, and desk research was adopted at the empirical level. 1312 respondents from Kosovo participated in the research, and 716 news stories from were included in the research sample of television monitoring from February 1 to March 31.
