The article aims to study the role of the media in reflecting the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation in Poland and their impact on public opinion, especially in national and ethnic communities. The main goal is to analyze the perspectives and challenges that different socio-cultural groups face when perceiving and reacting to geopolitical conflicts. The research is based on an analysis of media sources, including news reports, analytical articles and public debates. In addition, sociological methods are used to study the reactions of different groups to events and their interpretation. In the conditions of growing tension in relations between Ukraine, Poland and Russia in connection with full-scale military aggression, the topic of media reflection on the aggression of the Russian Federation takes on special importance. Understanding how the media shape public opinion and identity under the influence of geopolitical events becomes extremely relevant for the development of effective strategies for interethnic coexistence and national security. This article offers a research approach to the analysis of the influence of the media on the perception of geopolitical conflicts and identifies key aspects that should be taken into account when developing strategies for communication and inter-ethnic understanding in crisis situations.
