The trend in the mortality closely follows changes in neonatal mortality. The progress in implementation of vaccination plans for older children currently varies between 22-28 per cent (vaccination with ADT-M, second dose, at the age of 7 and over; and BCG-2, at the age of 7) and 88-89 per cent (vaccination with MMR-2 (at the ages of 6, 7 and over). UNICEF warns that although evidence suggests that pregnant mothers are not more affected by COVID-19 than others, Ukraine need to ensure they still have access to antenatal, delivery and postnatal services. Likewise, sick newborns need emergency services as they are at high risk of death. New families require support to start breastfeeding, and to get medicines, vaccines and nutrition to keep their babies healthy. 9.3 6.1 8.6 7.6 6.0 Chernihiv Sumy An urgent appeal to government Volyn Rivne 8.8 Kyiv and health care providers to save Zhytomyr 6.3 8.1 8.1 6.1 6.5 lives in the coming months by: 7.2 City of Kharkiv Lviv 6.7 10.6 Poltava Luhansk Khmelnytskiy Kyiv • Helping pregnant women to receive Ternopil Cherkasy 7.7 10.4 6.8 10.4 8.5 antenatal checkups, skilled delivery Dnipropetrovsk Ivano- Vinnytsya Frankivsk Kirovohrad Donetsk care, postnatal care services, and 13.2 9.2 9.3 9.2 care related to COVID-19 as needed; Zakarpattya Chernivtsi 9.1 Mykolayiv Zaporizhzhya • Ensuring health workers are Odesa 9.9 provided with the necessary Kherson personal protective equipment and 8.3 Autonomous get priority testing and vaccination Republic of Crimea once a COVID-19 vaccine becomes UKRAINE available so that they can deliver high quality care to all pregnant Figure 5.

  • UKRAINE the Constitution and Other Laws and Policies Protect Religious
    UKRAINE The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally enforced these protections. The government generally respected religious freedom in law and in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Local officials at times took sides in disputes between religious organizations, and property restitution problems remained; however, the government continued to facilitate the return of some communal properties. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. These included cases of anti-Semitism and anti- Muslim discrimination as well as discrimination against different Christian denominations in different parts of the country and vandalism of religious property. Various religious organizations continued their work to draw the government's attention to their issues, resolve differences between various denominations, and discuss relevant legislation. The U.S. government discusses religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. embassy representatives raised these concerns with government officials and promoted ethnic and religious tolerance through public outreach events. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 233,000 square miles and a population of 45.4 million. The government estimates that there are 33,000 religious organizations representing 55 denominations in the country. According to official government sources, Orthodox Christian organizations make up 52 percent of the country's religious groups. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (abbreviated as UOC-MP) is the largest group, with significant presence in all regions of the country except for the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil oblasts (regions).

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-84025-5 — Remaking Ukraine after World War II Filip Slaveski Excerpt More Information Introduction There’s no point in rebuilding that collective farm. There’s no village there, the farm worked poorly in the past and the soil is bad. What’s worse, the people there aren’t even real kolkhozniki – they’re just rotten. Soviet official, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine, 19481 This is a history of ‘rotten’ people. Thousands of them returned victorious from fighting against the Germans in World War II to their ‘bad soil’ in Soviet Ukraine from 1945, but had to keep fighting until the end of that decade. Now they were fighting against their own Soviet government, which obstructed them from rebuilding their villages, farms and what remained of their pre-war lives. These people were not wartime collabor- ators, forced labourers or other ‘traitorous’ Soviet citizens whom officials normally discriminated against and slandered after the war. Numerous works have been published on their experiences.2 The people whom authorities called ‘rotten’ were decorated war veterans and committed kolkhozniki, whom authorities were supposed to assist in, not obstruct from, rebuilding post-war Soviet society. This book examines the struggle between these ‘rotten’ people and the authorities, which reveals a new fault line in the restoration of Soviet control in parts of the Ukrainian country- side after World War II. The Soviet society that re-emerged in these areas shook chaotically along this fault line in ways we are only beginning to understand. 1 Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (Rossiiskii gosudarstvennyi arkhiv sotsial0no-poli- ticheskoi istorii – RGASPI) f.

  • One Ukraine Or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences
    Nationalities Papers, Vol. 32, No. 1, March 2004 One Ukraine or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences Lowell W. Barrington & Erik S. Herron Intra-state regional differences are a central topic in the study of European and Eurasian politics. In Ukraine, regional differences have proven to be powerful predictors of mass attitudes and political behavior. But what does the “regional factor” in Ukrainian politics represent? Is it simply the result of compositional effects, or are the regional differences more than just a sum of other demographic factors correlated with geographic divisions? When analyzing regional divisions as an explanatory variable, what are the implications of employing different regional frameworks? In this article, we demonstrate how geographic divisions in the country hold up even when others factors—such as ethnicity and language use—are con- trolled for. As part of this inquiry, we compare the results of three competing regional frameworks for Ukraine: one with two regions, one with four regions and one with eight regions. While the eight-region framework is uncommon in studies of Ukraine, the decision to examine eight regions is supported by historical, economic and demographic arguments, as well as by the results of the statistical analyses presented in this article. Scholars who have focused on fewer regions in Ukraine may have underestimated the effects of regional differences and missed interesting stories about intra-state variation in Ukrainian attitudes and voting behavior. The results of this study carry important implications not only for the study of Ukraine but also for those interested in intra-state regional divisions across Europe and Eurasia.

The article analyzes the factors influencing the accumulation of human capital in Ukraine during its independence. The article describes initial conditions that characterized the demographic and socio-economic development of Ukraine at the time of her independence. There were determined the criteria of influence on a person’s decision-making on creating a family and getting a job, which in the long run determine the trends in the accumulation of human capital in the country. The most threatening trends of the influence of the demographic, socio-economic, and sociopolitical crisis on the processes of human capital accumulation in Ukraine are revealed. The article analyzes changes in Ukraine's rating among the world’s countries by demographic and socio-economic indicators during 1990-2019.
