The purpose of the article is to study the positive shifts and changes in the mechanisms of implementing the country’s cultural diplomacy: spreading the language and promoting its study abroad; promotion of various achievements of the country; the cultural diversity of the values of European society with the help of the cultural diplomacy of the princely diaspora during the time of Kyivan Rus; preserving and increasing the cultural heritage of Ukraine, the multifaceted contribution of other cultures and civilizations. The research methodology is based on a combination of philosophical: systematicity, dialectical contradiction, unity of quality and quantity, dialectical negation, development, causality. Cultural diplomacy as a tool of public administration contributes to the broad possibilities of integration for the benefit of modern Ukraine. When it is said that culture is very important to international politics, some people think that the Department of Cultural Diplomacy is dealing with gifts for embassies or organizing concerts in honor of dignitaries. It takes time for people to understand that this is an element of diplomatic activity, that through culture it is much easier to enter each country and find support at the social level. When young diplomats undergo internships in various departments, they must know well not only about political aspects, but also about the culture of the state. The scientific novelty is that, using the method of scientific literature analysis and the results of empirical research, an analysis of the influence of cultural diplomacy on the national security of the country was carried out, the exchange of ideas, information, values, traditions, beliefs and other aspects of culture, with the aim of promoting intercultural understanding. Conclusions. After all, it is impossible to imagine how, going on a mission to a country, one would not first learn about the history of that country, its culture, traditions, customs, literature and music. After all, a diplomat must meet and talk with different people not only about politics and economics, but also freely move from political issues to cultural and artistic aspects. Ukraine has become an arena of conflicts of interests of global world players. However, in times of war, opportunities open up for our country to overcome the path from the tragic past to the dream future.
