Soldiers standing in front of destroyed tanks, bombed-out canyons of houses or girls singing in the bunker - digital contributions shape our image of the war in Ukraine. The coverage of the war is also carried out extensively in social media. How do we as young academics encounter a war that is taking place not too far away and that we mainly follow on social media? This question is the focus of this essay, which describes our individual encounters with the Ukraine war on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. Using individual examples, we make clear that digital posts construct a consciously designed image of the Ukraine war. The media produced are elevated to a new level of meaning as media witness and means of protest in the war. They influence what is to be felt and thought. The comment feed of a post provides exciting insights into the effect of the content on individual users and reflects the emotions triggered.
