Neumann, Jakub ; Koblovský, Petr (advisor) ; Shavit, Anna (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of the rhetoric of the Izvestia media in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Based on a careful examination and critical analysis of the articles examined, this bachelor's thesis compares and contrasts the ways in which Western and Eastern media outlets have dealt with this conflict, especially in light of their news interests and propaganda. It then goes on to map which narratives the Izvestia media use and which are most common in their articles. The results show the frequent use of false or misleading claims by the news outlet Izvestia. They also show the different portrayal of reality between Western and Eastern media in specific analyzed articles.

Russian invasion of Ukraine from the perspective of international law Abstract The thesis deals with the issue of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022, from the perspective of ius ad bellum and ius in bello. In the first chapter, the thesis outlines the historical context of the relations between Ukraine and Russia, which is essential to expose the fact that the armed conflict in Ukraine has been ongoing since 2014. The invasion was thus the culmination of a long-standing conflict. In the second chapter, the thesis presents and analyses the reasons given by the Russian Federation for invading another independent and sovereign state. It thus examines whether the recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics was in accordance with international law and whether it stands in comparison with the recognition of Kosovo. It then considers whether the Russian Federation has the right to exercise individual, collective, preventive, or preemptive self-defense.

The Russian Federation also cites the exercise of humanitarian intervention as a legal defense for its actions, but even this defense does not stand. The concept of Responsibility to Protect, which could be considered in the case of violations of...

Vokoun, Filip ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Moravec, Václav (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the presentation of the siege of Mariupol on three Czech online news sites. A sample of 500 texts from the year 2022 was used to examine how the selected media framed the news about the situation in the city. This research was supplemented with findings from thematic narrative analysis and other examined variables, such as the topics of the texts or the actors quoted. The thesis is divided into three parts - theoretical, methodological, and analytical. The theoretical part introduces the concept of framing in news reporting and presents the general frames and thematic and episodic framing examined in the thesis. This part continues by introducing narrative in war coverage and reviewing narratives occurring in the media in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
