Last week, Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) presented its new report to the Strategic Communications Committee of the NATO-Ukraine Council. The CCD reports that the report is titled “Information Threats Targeting NATO’s Support to Ukraine”—and was co-authored by the CCD and the Information Environment Assessment (IEA) team of NATO’s Public Diplomacy Division.
There you have it: The CCD may operate out of the Office of the Ukrainian Presidency’s National Security and Defense Council, but the CCD is now officially a NATO operation, exactly as [EIR had charged](/https://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/2022/eirv49n34-20220902/eirv49n34-20220902_006-kievs_info_terrorist_list_global.pdf) when the CCD issued its first public hit list in July 2022 against international persons and entities urging peace. The pretense that the drive to treat anyone opposing NATO’s warmongering as “information terrorists” who are to be eliminated, politically or physically, is a mere “Ukrainian” initiative is over.
In its Oct. 26 Telegram posting, “The CCD Deepens Cooperation with NATO,” the CCD brags that this the “first analytical report produced by the Alliance in cooperation with a non-member country.” CCD head, Lt. Andriy Kovalenko is cited: “I am proud that the Center has become the first institution with which NATO is working in this area.”
