Facebook has been flooded with a wave of fake 'matrimonial' advertisements allegedly posted by Ukrainian women. These profiles depict attractive but demanding women who do not exist in reality. Their posts attract Polish internet users' criticism and hate, which is the goal of this particularly disturbing anti-Ukrainian action. The fake accounts are part of an orchestrated campaign aiming to damage the reputation of Ukrainians living in Poland and to fuel social tensions. The article, authored by Gabriela Sieczkowska and published on February 2, 2026, on Konkret24, exposes this disinformation and harassment network targeting Ukrainian women.
The article explicitly describes a hostile Russian or pro-Kremlin-aligned disinformation campaign targeting Ukrainian women living in Poland by using fake social media profiles to provoke hate; therefore, this is a clear aggressor hybrid warfare event focused on information operations.
