Respondents expected that prices for consumer goods and services would rise, and that the domestic currency would depreciate further.1 The top managers of companies said they expected that over the next 12 months: . the output of Ukrainian goods and services would drop: the balance of expectations was (-31.8%) compared with 12.8% in Q1 2020 and (-34.1%) across Ukraine (Figure 1) . the prices of consumer goods and services would rise: the share of respondents who said that inflation would exceed 7.5% was 55.5% compared with 45.1% across Ukraine. Respondents referred to production costs as the main inflation driver (Figure 2) . the domestic currency would depreciate: a total of 65.9% of respondents (compared with 61.5% in the previous quarter) expected the hryvnia to weaken against the US dollar, with the figure across Ukraine being 68.2% . the financial and economic standings of their companies would deteriorate: the balance of expectations was (-16.7%) (compared with 2.8% in Q1 2020 and (-1.8%) across Ukraine) (see Table) . total sales of their own products would decrease: the balance of responses was (-11.6%) compared with 10.3% in the previous quarter. Respondents also expected a decrease in external sales (the balance of responses was (-14.3%) compared with 28.6% in Q1 2020). Across Ukraine, the balances of responses were (-16.1%) and (-10.5%) respectively . investment both in construction and in machinery, equipment and tools would decrease: the balances of responses were (-32.6%) and (-18.6%) respectively (compared to 5.4% and 16.2% in Q1 2020). Across Ukraine, the balances of responses were (-16.1%) and (-10.5%) respectively . staff numbers at their companies would decrease: the balance of responses was (-13.6%) compared with 2.6% in Q1 2020 and (-17.3%) across Ukraine. At the same time, the managers of agricultural companies expected an increase in staff numbers at their companies (Figure 4) . purchase prices would rise at a slower pace: the balance of responses was 65.9% (compared with 77.5% in the previous quarter). Meanwhile, selling prices were expected to grow at a faster rate: the balance of responses was 43.2% (compared with 32.5% in the previous quarter) (Figure 6). Respondents referred to high energy, raw material and supplies prices and wage costs as the main selling price drivers (Figure 7) . per-unit production costs would increase at a faster pace, while wage costs per staff member would decelerate. The balances of responses were 46.5% and 43.2% respectively compared to 42.1% and 60.0% in Q1 2020) (Figures 4 and 6). Respondents referred to weak demand as the main drag on the ability of their companies to boost production (Figure 5). The impact of a lack of working assets was reported to have increased significantly compared to the previous quarter. Respondents lowered their expectations of an increase in their borrowing needs in the near future (Figure 8). Half of the respondents planned to take out bank loans and usually opted for domestic currency loans. Respondents said that lending conditions had tightened (Figure 9). Respondents continued to refer to high interest rates as the main factor that deterred them from taking out loans (Figure 10). A total of 95.5% of respondents said that they had encountered no difficulties in effecting transactions with funds deposited in bank accounts (96.5% across Ukraine). Assessments of financial and economic standings as of the time of the survey (Figure 3) . The current financial and economic standings of companies had deteriorated and were assessed as bad: the balance of responses was (-11.4%) compared to 5.3% in Q1 2020 and (-11.6%) across Ukraine. Finished goods stocks had decreased and were assessed at a level lower than the normal one: the balance of responses was (-6.9%) compared with 3.7% in Q1 2020. Companies in the region had a sufficient amount of unutilized production capacity to meet any unexpected rise in demand: the balance of responses was 13.6% compared with 7.7% in the previous quarter. 1 This survey was conducted after the government announced it would relax the quarantine. 2 Business Outlook Survey of Poltava Oblast Q2 2020 Survey Details2,3 Respondents in terms of main economic Respondents in terms of enterprise size based Respondents in terms of business activities, % on staff number, % activities,% Other Neither exporters Exporters only Transport and Small (up to 50 6.8 Agriculture nor importers 13.6 communications persons) 6.8 15.9 43.2 Wholesale and 18.2 Large (more retail trade than 250 6.8 Imports only Construction persons) 11.4 2.3 45.5 Energy and water supply Mining 2.3 29.5 Both exporters and importers 31.8 Manufacturing Medium (from 51 and 29.5 up to 250 persons) 36.4 .

  • Ukraine Scenario 1) Background A. Donetsk and Luhansk Are Rebel
    Ukraine Scenario 1) Background a. Donetsk and Luhansk are rebel-held parts of Ukraine, and have been since 2014. The regions have ethnic Russian majorities and rebelled over attempts to ban Russian as an official language and curtail trade across the Russian border. Many of the rebels advocate secession. b. Ukraine’s state power company claimed the regions were some $431 million in debt over non- payment of bills. Russia says that they will be providing power through pre-existing lines effective immediately to avoid loss of electricity to some 3 million people in the effected areas. c. The decision by the Ukrainian government to cut power to the region appears to be an attempt to put pressure on the secessionist movement, though ironically by forcing them to turn to Russia for electricity, they may further enhance the region’s link to the Russian Federation. Source: “Russia to Supply Electricity to Eastern Ukraine After Kiev Cuts Power: Ukraine Says Regions Weren't Paying Their Bills,” Jason Ditz, Posted on April 25, Anti-War.com website: https://news.antiwar.com 2) Context a. Areas in Eastern Ukraine (Donbas Region) have had power cut by pro-Ukrainian (Kiev Government) groups that control the highest capacity power generation stations in the country. These are the 4 operational nuclear power stations in western Ukraine which includes the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Station, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe generating 6,000 MW. This leaves the Russian controlled areas with a small number of lower capacity coal generation facilities to power the Donbas region with additional power provided by Russian power plants to support the area.

By examining the construction of memorials in the Poltava oblast (Central Ukraine), the article demonstrates that in the context of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict the commemorative activity of ordinary people is impacted by the continued human losses, ordinary people’s perception of the future (grounded in their present-day experiences), and their desire to ensure that their memories are preserved for future generations. Introduction The onset of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2014 saw several initiatives to commemorate the fallen Ukrainian soldiers. As of early 2021, the conflict led to more than four thousand combat and non-combat military deaths among the Ukrainian military and its affiliated units.1 New memory actors (veterans, families of the fallen soldiers, and other activists) now seek to commemorate those citizens who lost their lives on the frontline.

  • Goodbye Lenin: a Memory Shift in Revolutionary Ukraine by Serhii Plokhii
    Goodbye Lenin: A Memory Shift in Revolutionary Ukraine by Serhii Plokhii Sunday, December 8, 2013 witnessed by far the largest public protest to take place in the city of Kyiv since the Orange Revolution of 2004. About 800,000 people poured into Independence Square (Maidan) and Khreshchatyk Boulevard in the city center to protest actions taken by the government of President Viktor Yanukovych. The protests had been initiated eighteen days earlier, on the night of November 21, by a few hundred people appalled at the abrupt change in the policy of the Ukrainian government, which, under pressure from Russia, had refused to sign the long-awaited association agreement between Ukraine and the European Union. The EuroMaidan, or the European Maidan protests, as they became known in the media, were started by Kyiv yuppies—a relatively small group of Western-oriented journalists, businessmen, political activists and students—who saw in the association agreement their last hope of reforming Ukrainian politics and society in order to liberate them from the Soviet legacy and the corrupt Russian-backed regime of President Yanukovych. The EuroMaidan turned into what became known as the Revolution of Dignity on Sunday, December 1, after government riot police brutally dispersed student protesters encamped on the square. Close to 350,000 Kyivans took to the streets of the capital. The orientation toward Europe and signing of the association agreement with the EU remained among their slogans and goals. But the new protest was fueled first and foremost by their refusal to countenance the regime’s brutality as a way of solving political problems.
