Its scientific periodization is provided: 1st stage (1990-1992) – information support of state-building processes; 2nd stage (1993-1994) – information struggle over the question of “denuclearization” of Ukraine; 3rd stage (1995-1998) – “simulation” policy, information support of the “multivector” policy; 4th stage (1999-2004) - crisis response; 5th stage (2005-2008) – information support of Euro-Atlantic policy, 6th stage (2009-2013) – information support of attempts to transition to a non-aligned policy; 7th stage (2014-2016) – responding to information aggression by the Russian Federation. Generalization of experience of the Ukraine’s foreign information policy allows pointing to the factors of systemic weakness of the Ukraine’s foreign information policy that existed before. In particular, institutional weakness which is due to the weakness of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a center of the formation of the country’s foreign policy; lack of the foreign policy strategy based on national interests; lack of the established baseline that provides a procedure of the foreign information policy; as instruments of influence on the external environment - including favourable country’s foreign policy image and distribution channels of information influence.
