Adam Sybera talks with Vojtěch Boháč, Chief Editor of Voxpot, about his investigation into Russian disinformation networks - how they operate, why Moscow relies on them, and what this means for the future of democracy. Why are governments hesitant to confront the threat, and does inaction risk letting Kremlin propaganda reshape the EU's political landscape?

Hungary has entered a new political chapter.After more than a decade of Viktor Orbán’s rule, a decisive election result opened the door to structural change — from constitutional reform to foreign policy reset.In this episode, we speak with Botond Feledy about what this shift means in practice. Can Hungary move from obstruction to cooperation within the EU? Will relations with Ukraine improve? And how will Russia respond to losing one of its closest partners in Central Europe?This conversation explores the deeper implications of the election — not just for Hungary, but for the future of Europe’s political balance.Produced by KI Insights, the analytical unit backed by The Kyiv Independent.This episode was recorded on April 14, 2026.***We’re launching Defence Analytics!KI Insights’ new in-depth defence analysis programme delivers deeper battlefield reporting, defence-tech insights, procurement signals, and assessments of Russian adaptation.👉Learn more at: ⁠https://insights.kyivindependent.com/defence-analytics⁠👉If you are interested in our upcoming Special Defence presentation in April, register here:https://zoom.us/webinar/register/3917756490404/WN_n79MjovTSf6FATdz7CjOUQ***👉Check out our research and analytical services at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://insights.kyivindependent.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠👉Follow us on social media!⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter/X⁠: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/KI_Insight⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠https://bsky.app/profile/ki-insights.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/kyivindependent-insights/about/?viewAsMember=true⁠#HungarianElections #Orban #PeterMagyar  #Geopolitics
