In 2022 and 2023, Polish media were and remain in first place among European countries in terms of the number of fakes sent by Russia. Currently, the focus of these messages is the claim that Poles do not have enough resources to provide good social assistance because everything is going to the Ukrainians. Additionally, Russian media portray Ukrainian refugees as an uncultured group that does not respect Poles. There have also been messages claiming that the defeat of Ukraine is obvious and predictable and that all resources spent on Ukraine are actually wasted, so they should not be provided.
