The project “Shady Horses” delves into investigating Russian propaganda dissemination within Western countries through prominent individuals, often referred to as “talking heads.”

U.S. Must Stop Undermining Negotiations with Russia to End Ukraine War
Ukraine should settle with Russia
Those who give weapons to Ukraine must understand that the lives of not only Ukrainians are at stake, but also of everyone else
The main victim if hostilities continue will be Ukraine
