Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the lexical, grammatical, syntactic, word-formation and socio-cultural peculiarities of military discourse. It also examines the translation techniques of military terms from English into Ukrainian. “Translator’s false friends” and polysemic military words cause the specific problems among the translators. It is concluded that translation depends on the structure of a military lexical unit in the source language. The empirical material is based on the Ukrainian and English versions of the official site of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, of the newspaper The Day, of the website Ukraine under attack.
