    How Influence, Money, and Networks Fuel Propaganda

    This episode of Ukraine Insights unpacks how modern propaganda actually works — not through slogans, but through networks, funding streams, manipulation, and automation. Host Adam Sybera speaks with investigative journalist Dave Troy about how Ukraine became a testing ground for information warfare tactics now spreading globally, why fact-checking often backfires, and how AI is accelerating influence campaigns faster than democracies can respond.
