INTRODUCTION The demarcation line (the line of contact)1 and the ‘grey zone’ between the government-controlled2 and uncontrolled territories3 of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions separates the parties to the conflict in the east of Ukraine. The areas controlled by the Ukrainian authorities and bordering the ‘grey zone’ are very politically sensitive, highly militarised, and fall under a special governance regime that is different from the rest of the country. In the absence of a comprehensive political settlement and amid uncertain prospects, it is unclear how long this situation will remain. It is highly likely that over the next few years, Ukrainians in areas adjacent to the contact line will live under very particular and unusual governance structures, and in varying degrees of danger.

PURPosE of MEthodology: Provide step by step guidance on how to build partnership relationships between citizens and the reformed government/public service by changing attitudes and behaviors through provision of relevant information and demonstration of the value of cooperation. logICal fRaMEwoRK: In each community, government representatives, citizens (broadly defined and inclusive of civil society, entrepreneurs, activists), and media are all stakeholders and participants in the reform process. For reform success and effectiveness, they need to be engaged in a participatory and meaningful way that would allow to overcome stereotypes and prejudices and to build trust and productive relationship. This can be achieved through conversations around issues of mutual concern facilitated at neutral platforms which provide timely and relevant information about reforms and help establish effective and useful interaction patterns between stakeholders. Trust-building and objective useful information will lead to attitude change. This, reinforced by interactions around issues of mutual concern will facilitate positive behavior change resulting in new relationship and dynamics and successful reform effort. IREX, within the Citizen Engagement and Reform Communication project, engages libraries and other civic platforms to establish cooperation between citizens, mass media, and patrol police. the project works in all regions of Ukraine with particular focus on the cities of Kramatorsk, sloviansk, Mariupol, severodonetsk, Rubizhne, lysychansk, Kropivnytskiy, vinnitsa, Chernihiv, Ivano-frankivsk, Uzhgorod, and Mukachevo.

The communities were carefully selected in line with the project’s objectives and applications received from local authorities. Preference was given to the communities in close proximity to the “contact line” and to exit and entry checkpoints (EECPs), as well as large districts with a significant proportion of rural residents. Last but not least, the interest of communities in working and closely cooperating with the programme was assessed so as to ensure the sustainability of subsequent results. As a result, the following communities were selected to participate in the “Mobile Service Delivery for Conflict-Affected Populations in Eastern Ukraine” Project: Kurakhove, Mariinka, Mariupol, Siversk and Vuhledar in Donetsk Oblast, and Novoaidar, Popasna, Shchastia, Sievierodonetsk and Stanytsia Luhanska in Luhansk Oblast (see Figure 1).

Good morning Commission staff. My name is Craig Lewis and I am a partner with Hogan Lovells. I am appearing today on behalf of Ukrainian producers Yenakiieve Steel and its Makiivka steel works. I regret that Metinvest was unable to provide a company witness from Ukraine on such short notice. 2. Until very recently, Yenakiieve was a fully integrated Ukrainian steel company operating within the Metinvest Group. Yenakiieve Steel produced a wide range of metal products including billets, angles, channels, beams, wire rod, and rebar. 3. I refer you to the map we have provided. The Yenakiieve and Makiivka steel works are located in the Donetsk region of Eastern Ukraine. Since 2014, the Donbas region of Ukraine, including the cities of Yenakiieve and Makiivka, has become a war zone, as separatist groups, backed by Russia, seized the region through military action. Political and security control of the region has been taken away from the Ukrainian Government and seized by the separatists. 4. The resulting conflict has claimed the lives of many thousands of innocent civilians and Ukrainian soldiers. It has also had a profound negative impact on manufacturing industries in the region. Critical infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, including 1 separatist also began a systematic inventory of the plants, their equipment, and stores.
