The United States and Poland on June 10 launched an international operation based in Warsaw whose mission is to help Ukraine counter Russian disinformation. James Rubin, a senior U.S. diplomat responsible for countering disinformation, and Tomasz Chlon, a Polish diplomat tasked with the same mandate, took part in a ceremony inaugurating the new Ukraine Communications Group. The group, which begins its work on June 11, will comprise representatives from 12 countries, including Canada, France, Germany, Finland, Italy, and Ukraine, Rubin said. The goal will be to try to detect and debunk Russian disinformation campaigns aimed at weakening support for Ukraine globally.
