    PC.DEL/21/19 17 January 2019 ENGLISH Original: RUSSIAN Delegation of the Russian Federation STATEMENT BY MR. ALEXANDER LUKASHEVICH, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, AT THE 1212th MEETING OF THE OSCE PERMANENT COUNCIL 17 January 2019 On the situation in Ukraine and the need to implement the Minsk agreements Mr. Chairperson, The start of the new year 2019 has not brought any significant improvement in the situation in Ukraine. The Ukrainian leadership has proved unable to refrain from armed provocations in Donbas or measures that result in a further deterioration of the situation across the country. The New Year/Christmas ceasefire declared in Donbas is not being fully respected. It has helped to reduce the number of skirmishes but has not led to “complete silence”. It would appear that the Ukrainian Government had and still has no intention of observing the ceasefire. This is confirmed by the observations made by the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) – within a day of the announcement of the ceasefire, some Ukrainian soldiers admitted to the Mission that they had not even received any such orders. During the first day of the ceasefire 162 violations were recorded. The shelling did not even stop on the eve of the peaceful holiday of Orthodox Christmas. On 16 January, company tactical exercises involving live firing were carried out by a mechanized unit of the 17th Separate Tank Brigade (Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhia region), during which offensive operations were practised. The Ukrainian Government has persistently paid no heed to the disengagement of forces and hardware in Stanytsia Luhanska.

  • Sacred Architecture in the Area of Historical Volhynia
    E3S Web of Conferences 217, 01007 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202021701007 ERSME-2020 Sacred architecture in the area of historical Volhynia Liliia Gnatiuk1,* 1National Aviation University, Interior Design Department, Faculty of architecture, construction and design, Kyiv, Ukraine Abstract. This article discusses the genesis and historical development of the sacred complexes of historic Volhyn. Based on historical and architectural analysis, it is presented that sacred complexes of historic Volhynia were built according to the canons of temple architecture, and at the same time they have their own characteristics, related to national traditions and regional features which appeared as a result of the process of forming Christianity as a religion associated with national development in the specific study territory. The results of a comprehensive analysis of historical and archival documents found in the archives of Ukraine, Poland and Russia, as well as field research are presented. Results of system and theoretical research of significant retrospective analysis of canonical, historical and political prerequisites of sacral complexes were generalized. The concept of sacred complex structures throughout ХІ-ХІХ th centuries is suggested in correlation with the change of religious identity formation and differentiation according to religious requirements. Existence of autochthonous traditions and genuine vector of the Volhynia’s sacred complex development, considering the specific geopolitical location between East and West in the area where two different cultures collide with each other has been proved. The work is shifting statements concerning direct borrowing of architectural and stylistic components of architectural and planning structure and certain decorative elements. 1 Introduction Architecture more than other forms of art reflects the state of society, its political level, the degree of economic development, aesthetic tastes and preferences.

Seite 1 F-X ang PD e OLEXANDER RAZUMKOV'S TEAM: BOTH THE AUTHORITIES AND THE NATION ARE SHORT OF BREATH WITHOUT FRESH IDEAS w Click to buy NOW! w 28 October 2000m o w c .d k. ocu-trac Against the background of a systematic crisis in society, a question arises about the ability of the Ukrainian elite to generate new ideas, put forward constructive proposals for the authorities and contribute to their implementation. The world knows an effective mechanism for employing intellectual potential in solving issues of national importance. This mechanism is known as the non-governmental analytical centers, also known as a "think tanks". The editors of Zerkalo Nedeli invited Anatoliy GRYTSENKO, President of the Ukrainian Centre for Economic and Political Studies (UCEPS). In accordance with a decision taken by the founders' meeting, from October 24, 2000 the Centre bears the name of its founder and late head Olexander Vasyliovych RAZUMKOV. A former Deputy Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council (NSDC), a great friend and permanent contributor to our newspaper, Mr. Razumkov is commemorated today, on the first anniversary of his death, by his relatives, close friends and colleagues. In November 1999, Mr. Razumkov's team had to leave the corridors of power, and this was not for the first time. None of the civil and military servants who convined in the lobby with dumb telephones held any illusions as to the feasibility of their new aim of creating a powerful centre and continuing the direction of the man they had up until now laconically called "Chief".

  • Ukraine Chornobyl Chronology
    Chornobyl Chronology Last update: December 2008 This annotated chronology is based on the data sources that follow each entry. Public sources often provide conflicting information on classified military programs. In some cases we are unable to resolve these discrepancies, in others we have deliberately refrained from doing so to highlight the potential influence of false or misleading information as it appeared over time. In many cases, we are unable to independently verify claims. Hence in reviewing this chronology, readers should take into account the credibility of the sources employed here. Inclusion in this chronology does not necessarily indicate that a particular development is of direct or indirect proliferation significance. Some entries provide international or domestic context for technological development and national policymaking. Moreover, some entries may refer to developments with positive consequences for nonproliferation. Nuclear Waste: 2008-1995 OVERVIEW Spent fuel is generally stored on site in cooling ponds at the nuclear power plants at which the fuel assemblies were used. Ukraine previously sent its spent fuel to Russia to be reprocessed, but this course became a contentious issue after Russia passed a law in 1992 prohibiting the import of radioactive material into Russia. This action resulted in storage crisis at Ukrainian power plants. In 6/93, however, Russia passed a new law that allows Ukrainian spent fuel to be reprocessed, but not stored, in Russia. The law does not allow the import of nuclear waste into Russia, but allows the import of Russian-origin spent fuel as long as the resulting waste is returned to the territory of the state which delivered it.

  • Report on International Religious Freedom 2005: Ukraine
    Ukraine Page 1 of 10 Ukraine International Religious Freedom Report 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The 1996 Constitution and the 1991 law on Freedom of Conscience provide for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respects this right in practice; however, there were isolated problems at the local level, at times as a result of local officials taking sides in conflicts between religious organizations. Religious groups of all beliefs flourished; however, some local officials at times impeded attempts by minority and nontraditional religions to register and to buy or lease property. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report, and government policy continued to contribute to the generally free practice of religion. Registration and property restitution problems remained; however, the Government continued to facilitate the return of some communal properties. The generally amicable relationship among religions in society contributed to religious freedom; however, there were some exceptions, particularly during and after the 2004 Orange Revolution and, more generally, among leaders of rival branches of the same faith. There were isolated instances of anti-Semitism and anti-Islamic sentiments. The All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (All-Ukrainian Council) provided a forum to resolve disputes and discuss relevant legislation. The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom issues with the Government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 603,700 square kilometers, and its population is 47.44 million. Estimates of those who consider themselves believers have varied widely.

    Religious Tourism in Ukraine Anastasia Riabenka, Lyudmyla Yurchuk National University of Food Technologies Introduction. There is a suggestion in the religious world, that prayer is more effective in certain places, in one way or another connected with the history of religion and the blessing of God in the search for a long time the faithful go to pilgrimage tours. Pilgrims visit not only temples, churches, monasteries, and holy rivers, lakes, etc. Religious tourism also commonly referred to as faith tourism, is a type of tourism, where people travel individually or in groups for pilgrimage or leisure (fellowship) purposes. Modern religious tourists are more able to visit holy cities and around the world. The most famous holy cities are Mecca, Madinah, Karbala, Jerusalem and Varanasi. In the research used analysis method and historical method. In a separate area of tourism pilgrimage tours to Ukraine stood out recently. However, the Ukrainian lands can be rightfully called the cradle of Orthodoxy. Since ancient times, there was built a great number of churches, cathedrals and monasteries of great beauty with a high dome and bells. Organization of international pilgrimage tourism in Ukraine is significantly inhibited by the presence of numerous problems, the solution of which is the case of the state, all organizations and institutions involved in tourism. Regions of international pilgrimage tourism can and should be Prykarpattya and Transcarpathia related to culture and memorable places of the peoples related with Catholicism, Judaism, Armenian Church. Kiev, Chernigov, Odessa, Poltava and many other cities are carriers not only of the Christian monoculture and poly-culture both in the pas and in our days.
