More details Andrii Kovalenko, appointed as Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), continues to play a pivotal role in addressing security threats and misinformation in 2024. Under his leadership, the CCD has tackled various disinformation campaigns and strategic military concerns. Notably, Kovalenko has clarified that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) had no directives to seize Kursk amidst speculations tied to geopolitical developments, particularly around U.S. political events. Furthermore, in response to imminent threats, Kovalenko highlighted extensive preparations by Russian forces for potential mass shelling scenarios across Ukraine, underscoring a heightened state of alert in the region. The CCD has also been proactive in countering technological threats; a significant correction by Google ensured that sensitive Ukrainian military positions were safeguarded from undue exposure online.

The CCD under Kovalenko continues to ensure rigorous scrutiny and rapid responses to disinformation, keeping the global community informed and vigilant against evolving threats.
