Moscow had delayed agreeing to a date, and even now continues its attempts to set the summit’s terms. Meanwhile, complex discussions are under way between Kyiv and Moscow on the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine after the present con- tract expires at the end of the year. With Gazprom making proposals that Naftogaz finds unacceptable, the cur- rent negotiations are stalled.

  • About the International Renaissance Foundation
    2006 About the International Renaissance Foundation An open society is a society based on the recognition of the fact that no one has a monopoly on the truth, that diff erent people have diff erent views and interests, that good arguments should be heard by society and that there is a need for institutions open to striving toward perfection, defending the rights of all peo- ple and giving them a chance to live together in peace and accord. Th e term “open society” was introduced by the philosopher Karl Popper in his book “Th e Open Society and Its Enemies” published in 1945. Th e main traits of an open society include the rule of law, a democratically elected government, institutions of civil society and protection of minority rights. Th e International Renaissance Foundation (IRF) has been active since 1990. It is an integral part of the Open Society In- stitute foundation network established by George Soros and incorporates national and regional foundations in more than thirty countries around the world, primarily in Central and Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union. Th e Founda- tion sees its mission in the fi nancial and institutional promotion of the building of an open democratic society in Ukraine by supporting civil initiatives vital for its development. Th e funds operated by IRF are mainly granted by its founder George Soros. Th e Foundation also relies on international donors and various Ukrainian and foreign organizations and individuals. Both the transparency of the Foundation’s spon- sorship and charitable activities and an understanding of its importance contribute to funds granted by IRF for building an open, democratic society being distributed by the society’s members represented in IRF’s Executive Board and Program Boards themselves.

  • State and Civil Society After the 2019 Elections
    EU PROJECT FOR CIVIL SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE STATE AND CIVIL SOCIETY AFTER THE 2019 ELECTIONS Orysia Lutsevych, Consultant Context: This analysis aims to contribute ideas to the improvement of state and civil society cooperation in Ukraine after the electoral cycle of 2019. Two watershed elections – the presidential elections in April 2019 and the parliamentary elections in July 2019 – led to a complete overhaul of the political system in Ukraine. There are some important new factors that will determine the new leadership’s interaction with civil society: President Zelenskyy has the first ever single-party control across the legislative and executive branches in the history of independent Ukraine. He has an opportunity to demonstrate political leadership and ownership of reforms. With 254 MPs out of 450, Zelenskyy has formed a majority government without a coalition partner. At this stage, the parliament is not a strong player: as most laws are drafted and proposed by the office of the president. For the first time, the institution of the president has a much higher level of public trust than civil society organisations (CSOs). This creates a new dynamic in the relationship. After 100 days in office Zelenskyy was fully or mostly trusted by almost 70 per cent of Ukrainians, and the majority trusted that the president would deliver1. Meanwhile, trust in CSOs for driving reforms dropped from 24 per cent in 2018 to 9 per cent in 20192. This is the first time in the history of independent Ukraine that a president has enjoyed such a high level of trust in his ability to deliver change.

  • The Sondland-Volker Texts, Contextualized by Jeremy Venook
    Timeline: The Sondland-Volker Texts, Contextualized By Jeremy Venook After the administration blocked his initially scheduled appearance, U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland is now reportedly set to testify before the House under subpoena. Prior to his appointment, Sondland, like President Donald Trump, was a hotel developer with no known foreign policy experience or expertise. Moreover, Ukraine is not a part of the European Union, which means it falls outside of his purview as ambassador to the EU. So why was Sondland such a key player in President Trump’s shadow Ukraine agenda? Text messages released by the House Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs Committees show that Sondland, at times, personally directed other State Department officials in executing Trump’s extortion scheme, which sought a politically motivated investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden’s family. Sondland also appears to have been intimately involved in drafting a statement for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the opening of that investigation to ensure it met the president’s standards. The text messages are damning in their own right and only become more so when viewed in the context of the president’s pressure campaign against Ukraine. The timeline below illustrates how the president circumvented the national security establishment to extort a foreign government for personal political gain—and that Sondland not only helped him do it but also helped him try to cover it up. NOTE: Messages released by the House appear below in normal font. Commentary on those texts appear in bold. Significant outside events appear in red.

ENGLISH Original: RUSSIAN Delegation of the Russian Federation STATEMENT BY MR. ALEXANDER LUKASHEVICH, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, AT THE 1256th MEETING OF THE OSCE PERMANENT COUNCIL 23 January 2020 On the situation in Ukraine and the need to implement the Minsk agreements Mr. Chairperson, On 20 and 21 January, the Chairperson-in-Office of the OSCE, Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama, visited Ukraine, including Donbas. We believe it is extremely important to send clear signals to the Ukrainian leadership regarding the need for the Minsk agreements to be implemented as quickly as possible and also for the Ukrainian Government to fulfil its OSCE commitments. We regret that the Chairperson-in-Office failed to take up the invitation from the representatives of certain areas of Donbas and visit the environs of Donetsk and Luhansk on the other side of the line of contact so as to see with his own eyes the humanitarian consequences of the Ukrainian Government’s military operation in the region. The ceasefire regime in Donbas is not being fully respected. Over the past week, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) recorded over 5,000 violations. The movement of Ukrainian offensive military equipment is not helping to reduce tensions. For example, the SMM reported having spotted on 16 January 14 large-calibre multiple-launch rocket systems – eight 220 mm BM-27 Uragan systems and six 300 mm BM-30 Smerch systems – at weapons storage sites close to where the Ukrainian Government’s military operation is taking place in the Donetsk region.
