Inner panel directly on concrete blocks, how would you have done it?

I was thinking of attaching inner paneling directly to a couple of lecablocks, but I'm a bit unsure about the technical aspects of preventing moisture from affecting the paneling. I thought of nailing a small strip to the lecablocks with cut nails and then attaching the paneling to these. Is this an okay solution? Or should I treat the blocks with some form of moisture barrier paint or cover them with tar paper?
I have installed paneling on a wall of concrete block as a "feature wall" but on a completely dry interior wall. Mounted vertical 28x70 mm battens on cc60 with the help of facade plugs. Between the battens and the concrete block, I placed sill insulation before fastening the battens. I used plastic sill insulation as I thought the paper variant smelled too much of tar.
After that, horizontal paneling was installed on the battens with a ventilated base towards the floor and a substantial gap between the ceiling and ceiling molding. No insulation was used behind the paneling, so there was about 28mm (battens+sill insulation) of air gap behind the paneling.
What kind of wall is it? Interior or exterior wall? Above or below ground? Is it damp today?

Thank you for your response Stuff, they are exterior walls and the blocks face the outside without insulation.

Any more suggestions on how I can moisture-proof the lecablocks, or should I just nail the strip directly onto the lecan?
