...The CCDCOE functions as a cyber-defense knowledge hub, research institution, and training and exercise facility that assists members with technology, threat-sharing and policy expertise. CCDCOE membership is not limited to NATO nations.

Ukraine submitted its application to join the Estonia-based center in August 2021. Last April, the 27 sponsoring nations in the steering committee unanimously endorsed Ukraine as a contributing participant in the CCDCOE " thus giving the other member state's access to Ukraine's "valuable first-hand knowledge of several adversaries".

The Ukrainians are of a different opinion, that is why they sent Pres Putin's stooge government back to Russia. And it is why they currently are defending their sovereign country from Pres Putin's unprovoked invasion.
