This is good information to share, no matter the individuals' relation to the events in Ukraine, because there will always be scammers and people looking to make a profit or sell information to the bad guys. It's just a thing some people do, and those who feel their only way to offer support is to donate or share opportunities for others to donate are excellent targets.

I can say that most of what I've heard about the status of Russia's invasion of Ukraine has come from Twitter. It's easy to pick out the blurbs; there are politicians and news sources chiming in, but there are also those cluttering comments that have no bearing at all or are just inflammatory, and it's like every single post has likes and retweets. There's always an audience, which is both good and bad.

Something I recognize most readily are the videos of non-specific events. Like, there was a tank rolling through some crowded street, I think, and it's been determined to be an old video that has no relation to Ukraine or Russia at all. Same thing happens with riots and demonstrations in the States; there are posts and videos shared with a caption that makes it seem currently relevant and contributing to a certain dialogue, but it isn't connected at all! And it's so much easier to just take it for its face value rather than investigate for themselves.
