Summary/Abstract: Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022 the Internet, especially in social media, has seen an increase in disinformation activities about the ongoing conflict, the West’s reaction, government policy in Kiev, and the population of Ukrainian origin itself. The aim of the article is to analyze suspicious content related to this conflict, reported via the zglostrolla.pl website. On the basis of nearly 20 thousand entries, collected in the first six weeks of the project, the authors try to determine the most frequent types of entries submit-ted by Internet users, their sources and topics. They also try to answer questions about the scope of entries and identify top disinformation accounts.
