Background. The research is dedicated to analyzing changes in the lexical composition of the vocabulary of Ukrainian students under the influence of military events following the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Significant perturbations in the themes and issues of daily communication are noted, along with changes in the lexical composition of student speech. Military terminology and terminology from the field of civil defense for the protection of the civilian population and military personnel have entered the active vocabulary of students. Methods. The study is conducted on lexical material obtained through an anonymous survey of students. A convenience sampling method was used in the selection process. General scientific and linguistic research methods were employed. The survey was conducted using a specially developed online questionnaire designed to ensure the anonymity of the provided responses. Results. The material for the study consisted of a sample of lexical units obtained during the anonymous survey of students. The respondents were first-year students of the educational program "Biotechnology," bachelor's degree, at the Educational and Scientific Centre "Institute of Biology and Medicine." The transformation of the perception of Russians from the perspective of otherness to alienness has been established, along with an active strengthening of the Ukrainization of private communication and the rejection of the Russian component. It is believed that speech reflects the emotional state of the individual and is a reaction to threats; an activation of the use of military terminology and neologisms has been identified, which have intensified in the everyday speech of students due to the full-scale phase of the war. Conclusions. The following groups of words have been identified: military vocabulary (general tactical and general military terms), terminology of military defense (air raid alerts, civil defense protective structures), traditional ethnonyms, and neologisms characterized by an expressive evaluation of the enemy. The obtained results present changes in the linguistic picture, and the conclusions drawn allow for the fixation of shifts in the speech of modern Ukrainian students
