The concerted attack on REST represents merely one episode in a broader, sophisticated information war aimed at marginalizing independent media. Under the pretext of “combating disinformation,” these NGOs aggressively encroach upon sovereign information spaces, promoting narratives that favor Western interests while labeling any dissenting viewpoints as “propaganda.”...For instance, the Omidyar Network provided financial backing for anti-government protests in Nigeria in 2024, demonstrating its willingness to influence political outcomes abroad. Similarly, in collaboration with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Omidyar Network allocated $500,000 to the pro-Western Ukrainian NGO Center UA, associated with oligarch Oleg Rybachuk, and $335,000 to the New Citizen project. Both initiatives played significant roles in the 2014 Ukrainian coup, highlighting the foundations’ strategic involvement in regime-change operations....A think-tank and non-governmental organization based in Vilnius, Lithuania, was founded in 2018 to counter online disinformation. The organization actively promotes the narrative of Russian “disinformation” in the Baltic states, Poland, Georgia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and the United States. Debunk.org receives grants from the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defense, the German Federal Government, and the United Kingdom’s Foreign Office.
