Summary/Abstract: The article analyses Ukrainian prose works published after the Russian aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Generally, the newest Ukrainian prose gravitates more towards the non-fiction genre framework. It is represented by numerous anthologies, mainly with pieces by famous writers, literary critics, and public figures. The authors record personal experiences and reflect on the history of the Russian-Ukrainian confrontation in historical retrospect. Today, the non-fiction format is more popular because it allows essayists to talk about painful topics from a more moderate position and broadcast the situation of Ukrainians to the international community through the mobile genre of short journalistic prose. At the same time, the revaluation of values experienced currently by millions of Ukrainians is manifested in the tendency to cancel everything Russian, which affects the course of the literary process and the distribution of roles among its players, as well as causes the appearance of texts whose style is dominated by hatred of the enemy of the occupier.
