Not really. Their sources explicitly talk about disinformation and information based on true info but misconstrued to mislead people into false or pro-Putin narratives. But this "report" continues to frame this as if they're trying to censor credible, unbiased and factual reporting, which is a claim their source does not support.

Even ignoring that, the report serves to draw attention to the funding sources of those "combating disinformation."

It's a conspicuous bunch.

Western organisations seeking to protect the west fund those combatting disinformation from primarily Russian sources that harms the west. Not exactly a bombshell, is it?
