  • Ukrainian and Russian Waterways and the Development of European Transport Corridors
    European Transport \ Trasporti Europei n. 30 (2005): 14-36 Ukrainian and Russian waterways and the development of European transport corridors Michael Doubrovsky1∗ 1Odessa National Maritime University, Odessa, Ukraine Abstract Four of the nine international transport corridors pass through the territory of Ukraine: №3, №5, №7, and №9. In recent years Ukraine conducted an active policy supporting the European initiatives on the international transport corridors and offered variants of corridors to the European community. In the field of a water transport it is planned to carry out the construction of new and reconstruction of existing infrastructure (regarding corridors № 9; TRACECA; Baltic - Black Sea) in the main Ukrainian ports. The paper considers the situation in the Ukrainian waterways as a part of the international transport corridors. It presents an analysis of the existing situation and some planning measures. In order to optimize and rationally development the inland waterways and seaports of the Black Sea – Azov Sea region it is necessary to speed up the working out and official approval of the regional transport ways network. Regarding Ukrainian seaports this task is carried out within the framework of program TRACECA, and also by Steering Committee of Black Sea PETRA and working group on transport of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation. To connect the new members countries of EU two approaches are considered: (1) the use of the Danube River due to restoration of navigation in its Ukrainian part, providing an exit to the Black Sea; (2) the creation of new inland water-transport links providing a more rational and uniform distribution of freight traffics from the Central and Northern Europe (using the third largest river in Europe - Dnepr River running into the Black Sea).

  • STATEMENT by MR. ALEXANDER LUKASHEVICH, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE of the RUSSIAN FEDERATION, at the 1209Th MEETING of the OSCE PERMANENT COUNCIL
    PC.DEL/1544/18 14 December 2018 ENGLISH Original: RUSSIAN Delegation of the Russian Federation STATEMENT BY MR. ALEXANDER LUKASHEVICH, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, AT THE 1209th MEETING OF THE OSCE PERMANENT COUNCIL 13 December 2018 More on Ukraine’s military provocation in the Black Sea Mr. Chairperson, Over the past two weeks, we have heard many unfounded accusations against Russia in connection with the actions of Russian border guards in the Black Sea on 25 November in response to the provocation by the Ukrainian navy. Using these events as a pretext, the Ukrainian delegation frustrated the adoption at the Ministerial Council meeting in Milan of a document on the settlement of the internal Ukrainian crisis and a political declaration. The situation surrounding this recent incident requires a detailed analysis. We shall therefore set out in detail the chronology of events so that no one is left with any doubt as to the provocative nature of the Ukrainian navy’s actions. I might add that they posed a danger to the countless non-military vessels that were present at that time in the waters of the Kerch Strait. In parallel, we shall show you some slides indicating where and how this happened. So, at 11.37 hours on 24 November, the Russian State Border Service reported the movement of four Ukrainian navy ships in the Black Sea heading towards the Russian coast: two support vessels and two gunboats. At 16.40, two Ukrainian navy ships, the Horlivka support vessel and the Yany Kapu ocean-going tugboat, were identified in Russia’s exclusive economic zone 20 nautical miles from the border.

  • Case Study “Implementation and Improvement of Participatory
    Case Study IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING Experiences of Ukrainian Cities and Recommendations The international technical assistance project “Partnership for Local Economic Development and Democratic Governance” (PLEDDG) implemented from April 2015 to December 2020 by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, with the financial support of the Ministry of Global Affairs Canada, aimed to strengthen the municipal sector, ensure effective democratic governance, and accelerate the economic development of cities in Ukraine. This publication recounts the experiences of PLEDDG in the field of participatory budgeting, based on the examples of five cities and one region of Ukraine. We invite you to familiarize yourself not only with the best practices and recommendations for the implementation of participatory budgeting and the involvement of residents in the decision- making process in communities, but also with the obstacles that often arise when introducing new participation tools. Currently, PLEDDG is partnered with 15 cities to facilitate public budgeting: Vinnytsia, Zhmerynka, Khmilnyk, Ivano-Frankivsk, Dolyna, Kolomyia, Poltava, Myrhorod, Kremenchuk, Horishni Plavni, Zaporizhia, Enerhodar, Melitopol, and Berdyansk. This tool of participatory democracy enables all citizens, without exception, to participate in the distribution of local budget funds through the creation of projects to address issues of local importance and/or by voting for said projects. The inclusion of participatory budgeting contributes both to

  • Kerch Strait En Route to the Ukrainian Port of Berdyansk, on the Sea of Azov, According to Official Ukrainian and Russian Reports (See Figure 1)
    CRS INSIGHT Russia's Use of Force Against the Ukrainian Navy December 3, 2018 (IN11004) | Related Author Cory Welt | Cory Welt, Analyst in European Affairs ([email protected], 7-0530) Naval Incident Escalates Tensions On November 25, 2018, Russian coast guard vessels in the Black Sea forcibly prevented two small Ukrainian armored artillery boats and a tugboat from transiting the Kerch Strait en route to the Ukrainian port of Berdyansk, on the Sea of Azov, according to official Ukrainian and Russian reports (see Figure 1). After ramming the tugboat and blockading all three boats for hours, the Russian vessels reportedly fired on them as they sought to leave the area, injuring six sailors. The Ukrainian boats and their 24 crew members were detained and taken to Kerch, in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian region of Crimea. The sailors were arrested and placed in pretrial detention on charges of illegally crossing what Russia refers to as its state border (i.e., the territorial waters around occupied Crimea). Observers generally viewed the incident as a major escalation of tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Russia Tightens Control In May 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin opened a new 12-mile-long bridge linking Russia to Crimea over the Kerch Strait, the waterway connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov. The bridge was designed to accommodate an existing shipping lane, but it imposes new limits on the size of ships that transit the strait. Observers note that since the bridge's opening, Russia has stepped up its interference with commercial traffic traveling to and from Ukrainian ports in Mariupol and Berdyansk, which export steel, grain, and coal.

  • DRC Legal Alert Issue 48
    DRC-DDG LEGAL ALERT: Issue 48 January 2020 1. Parliament Adopts Law On Free Meals for IDP Children On 16 January 2020, the Parliament adopted Law No. 474-IX coming in force on 20 May 2020 and entitling IDP children1 to free meals. Free meals have already been available for orphans, children deprived of parental care, children from low-income families, and differently-abled children. Scope of the assistance: parents of IDP children will be provided with free baby food until a child reaches 3 years of age; free meals will be made available for IDP children at schools, and vocational schools. Free meals have to be funded by local authorities who also define the size of a budget per child for a free meal. In 2019, daily budget for free meals per pupil of 1-4 grades was as follows: Cherkasy – 10 UAH, Berdyansk – 10.2 UAH, Kharkiv – 14 UAH, Zhytomyr – 18.3 UAH, Dnipro – 19 UAH. The law, despite its positive intent, may cause unintended negative consequences as it creates scope for inscribing an IDP label on a child and stigmatising his factual situation. Related concerns: Rooting the IDP identity: The fact of being an IDP is not considered as a legal status, as restated by the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. Rather, the internal displacement of a person reflects a factual situation of an IDP, who is entitled to the same rights as other citizens.2 Any effort to create a separate legal identity for an IDP is against the spirit of IDPs rights under international law.
