    11/7/2018 Latest from the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM), based on information received as of 19:30, 6 November 2018 | OSCE Latest from the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM), based on information received as of 19:30, 6 November 2018 KYIV 7 November 2018 This report is for the media and the general public. The SMM recorded more ceasere violations in Donetsk region and fewer in Luhansk region, compared with the previous reporting period. It observed recent damage to civilian properties caused by shelling in residential areas of Staromykhailivka. The SMM saw weapons in violation of withdrawal lines on both sides of the contact line. The SMM recorded ceasere violations near the Petrivske disengagement area. The Mission’s access remained restricted in all three disengagement areas; it was also restricted near Novoazovsk - close to the border with the Russian Federation – as well as near Oleksandrivske, Bezimenne, Zaichenko and Troitske.* The SMM facilitated and monitored adherence to the ceasere to enable repairs to the Petrivske water pumping station near Artema, power lines near Zolote-5/Mykhailivka and damaged houses in Marinka and Krasnohorivka, as well as to enable demining near Nyzhnoteple. In Kyiv, the SMM followed up on media reports of searches at apartments and oces of two activists. In Donetsk region, the SMM recorded more ceasere violations[1], including, however, fewer explosions (about 220), compared with the previous reporting period (about 235 explosions).[2] On the evening and night of 5-6 November, the SMM camera at the Donetsk Filtration Station (DFS) (15km north of Donetsk) recorded seven undetermined explosions and 70 projectiles in ight (from west to east), all at an assessed range of 0.5-4km south and south-south-west.

  • 'Belarus – a Significant Chess Piece on the Chessboard of Regional Security
    Journal on Baltic Security , 2018; 4(1): 39–54 Editorial Open Access Piotr Piss* ‘Belarus – a significant chess piece on the chessboard of regional security DOI 10.2478/jobs-2018-0004 received February 5, 2018; accepted February 20, 2018. Abstract: Belarus is often considered as ‘the last authoritarian state in Europe’ or the ‘last Soviet Republic’. Belarusian policies are not a popular research topic. Over the past years, the country has made headlines mostly as a regime violating human rights. Since the Russian aggression on Ukraine, Belarus has been getting renewed attention. Minsk was the scene of a series of talks that aim at stopping the ongoing war in Ukraine. Western media, scholars and society got a reminder that Eastern Europe was not a conflict-free zone. This article puts military security policy of Belarus into perspective by showing that Belarus ‘per se’ is not a threat for neighboring countries; Belarus dependency towards Russia is huge; thus, Minsk has a small capability to run its own independent security policy; military potential of Belarus is significant in the region, but gap in equipment and training between NATO and Belarus is really more; it is in the interest of Western countries to keep the Lukashenko’s regime in Belarus. Keywords: Belarus; conflict; defence; security; NATO; Russia. Belarus is often considered as ‘the last authoritarian state in Europe’ or the ‘last Soviet Republic’. Belarusian policies are not a popular research topic. Over the past years, the country has made headlines mostly as a regime violating human rights. Since the Russian aggression on Ukraine, Belarus has been getting renewed attention.

Our deepest sympathies go to his wife and his family. Dr Bossdorf joined Report Verlag in 2006, became its Publishing Director in 2007 and later was appointed Managing Direc- tor. In addition, he was Editor-in-Chief of the magazine "Strategie & Technik", which evolved from the traditional "Soldat und Technik" publication. As a result of the merger of Report Verlag with E.S.

At the same time, Dr Bossdorf was appointed Managing Director of Mittler Report Verlag, where he also played a decisive role in the development of the English-language magazine "Europe- an Security & Defence" from a quarterly magazine to an internationally recognised specialist monthly journal. One year ago, Dr Bossdorf also took over the management of K&K Medienverlag-Hardthöhe GmbH as Publisher of the magazine "Hardthöhen- kurier", so that he was most recently the highly valued Managing Director of two publishing houses as well as Editor-in-Chief of "European Security & Defence".

    The Arms Trade Treat and Russian Arms Exports: Expectations and Possible Consequences S Sergey Denisentsev Senior Research Fellow of the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies Konstantin Makienko Deputy Director of the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies Translated by Ivan Khokhotva Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST) is a Russian non- governmental research center specializing in the study of Russia’s military- technical cooperation with foreign states, the restructuring of Russia’s defense industry and defense procurement. This work was commissioned by the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), in the context of its project “supporting the Arms Trade Treaty Negotiations through Regional Discussions and Expertise Sharing”. Reprinted with the permission from UNIDIR. The views herein do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the United Nations, UNIDIR, or its sponsors. Introduction RESOURCE The adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) would undoubtedly affect all the leading arms exporters and importers, including Russia, which is the world’s second-biggest arms exporter. This study aims to assess the possible effects of the Arms Trade Treaty, if and when it is adopted, on Russian arms exports.
