The Mission landed the UAV and left the area.* Disengagement areas near Stanytsia Luhanska, Zolote and Petrivske5 While positioned inside the disengagement area near Stanytsia Luhanska (government- controlled, 16km north-east of Luhansk), the SMM heard one undetermined explosion, assessed as outside the disengagement area but within 5km of its periphery. The SMM also saw two members of the armed formations (wearing armbands with “JCCC” written on them) south of the repaired span of the Stanytsia Luhanska bridge (15km north-east of Luhansk). During the night of 13-14 May, the SMM camera in Zolote recorded ten projectiles in flight at an assessed range of 2-3km east-north-east.

The Mission again saw the eight previously observed containers located south of the disengagement area’s southern edge, on its edge and inside the area. On 12 May, inside the disengagement area near Petrivske, about 700m east of the area’s western edge and about 250m south of the area’s northern edge, an SMM mini-UAV again spotted about 100 anti-tank mines. About 400m south of the aforementioned mines and about 900m of the area’s western edge, it again spotted about 150 anti-tank mines. All these mines were assessed as belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. (For previous observations in the area, see SMM Daily Reports of 3 April 2020 and 19 June 2020.) 5 Disengagement is foreseen in the Framework Decision of the Trilateral Contact Group relating to disengagement of forces and hardware of 21 September 2016. - 5 - On 13 May, inside the disengagement area, an SMM mini-UAV spotted three people and a civilian vehicle inside former positions of the armed formations near the area’s south-eastern corner.

  • Transformations of the Cultural Landscape of Donbas During the Armed Conflict 2015–2017
    Studia z Geografii Politycznej i Historycznej tom 6 (2017), s. 305–326 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2300-0562.06.13 Roman Slyvka, Liubov Slyvka, Yaroslava Atamaniuk Transformations of the cultural landscape of Donbas during the armed conflict 2015–2017 The main objective of the article – to show the different trajectories of the cultural land- scape in controlled and uncontrolled parts of the war-torn Donbas. The cultural landscape of Ukraine significantly changed during the twentieth century. The main factors of these transformations were ideological, military and geopolitical. The sub-ordinate position of Ukraine within the USSR allowed communist leaders to enforce sovietisation of the cultural landscape. This policy was especially noticeable in the great industrial region of Donbas. Achievements of independence by Ukraine and democratization of country' public life have led to transformation/conservation of the cultural landscape, which corresponded with political culture of individual regions. The war in the Donbas has become a catalyst for the processes of creating different types of cultural landscape on the different sides of the contact line. The policy of creating a cultural landscape has become an instrument of political socialization and mobilization of the population. This process is not complete, and can contribute to the crystallization of new subregional identities on different parts of contemporary Donbas. Keywords: Donbas, cultural landscape, post-soviet city, military conflict, decomunisa- tion, renaming, monument, policy of memory. 1. Introduction The conflict in Donbas deepened those political divisions that began to be observed in Ukrainian society since the 1990s. There are a number of visible elements of Donbas' cultural landscape, which indicates the drastic changes.

    ENTERING THE GREY-ZONE: Hybrid Warfare and the Protection of Civilians in Ukraine civiliansinconflict.org i RECOGNIZE. PREVENT. PROTECT. AMEND. PROTECT. PREVENT. RECOGNIZE. Cover: June 4, 2013, Spartak, Ukraine: June 2021 Unexploded ordnances in Eastern Ukraine continue to cause harm to civilians. T +1 202 558 6958 E [email protected] civiliansinconflict.org ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION AND VISION Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international organization dedicated to promoting the protection of civilians in conflict. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict. Our mission is to support communities affected by conflict in their quest for protection and strengthen the resolve and capacity of armed actors to prevent and respond to civilian harm. CIVIC was established in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a young humanitarian who advocated on behalf of civilians affected by the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Honoring Marla’s legacy, CIVIC has kept an unflinching focus on the protection of civilians in conflict. Today, CIVIC has a presence in conflict zones and key capitals throughout the world where it collaborates with civilians to bring their protection concerns directly to those in power, engages with armed actors to reduce the harm they cause to civilian populations, and advises governments and multinational bodies on how to make life-saving and lasting policy changes. CIVIC’s strength is its proven approach and record of improving protection outcomes for civilians by working directly with conflict-affected communities and armed actors. At CIVIC, we believe civilians are not “collateral damage” and civilian harm is not an unavoidable consequence of conflict—civilian harm can and must be prevented.
