The ones I saw would tag onto the end of discussions about Ukraine.

The pattern was a zero-follower/following blue-tick account set up fairly recently with a mundane-sounding American name quote-tweeting another blue-tick account set up fairly recently with a mundane-sounding American name which might have a few followers and usually posted a video with obviously bogus inflammatory claims about Zelensky, his wife or events in the war.

I haven't seen any since the FBI acted, but then I've checked out Ukraine stories a little less than normal because of other goings-on. I'd imagine their numbers will increase again over time as other networks take up the slack.
