Abstract
Purpose: In a time when war-torn Ukraine faces a grave crisis amid Russia’s invasion attempt, social media chooses humor over aggression to fight back. Humor has long been known as a kind of coping mechanism in extreme crises wherein the world of jokes is quite similar with the world of memes, which instantly reacts to resonating events. Puns and memes, armed with words and images, become weapons of mass disruption, influencing the hearts and minds of a target audience. This invites the examination of how memes detailing the Russian-Ukrainian military crisis employ verbo-visual puns as a discursive strategy of information warfare to counter Putin’s propaganda.
