From the Bakhmut Storozha of the times of Ivan the Terrible when the fortress was built to protect the southern borders, to the leading industrial center of the modern Donbas Bakhmut has made a 447-year long journey. At various times, free entrepreneurs discovered here incalculable treasures the city is rich in: the world's largest deposits of salt, coal, refractory clay, sand, gypsum ... And business started here. Since the abolition of serfdom, rapid industrial development and the influx of foreign investment have begun in Bakhmut. A salt plant, Franco-Belgian-German investments in salt mines, glass, nail-bone, alabaster and brick factories ... ... Since then, the city has become a major trading center, and on November 25, 1920, it has become the center of the Donetsk province. In 1923, there were 12 industrial enterprises in the city: the "Victory of Labor" factory (now the VISTEC Machine- Building Plant), glass, alabaster, ceramic-tiling, three iron-casting, mechanical and ore-repairing factories, and a shoe factory. In the early 1950s, the first Ukrainian non-ferrous metal processing plant was built on the northern outskirts of the city. In 1954, the first production was produced by the well-known manufacturer of sparkling wines "ARTWAYNERI", known far beyond Ukraine. In 1924, the historical Bakhmut was renamed into Artemivsk. In September 2015, the city returned its historical name Bakhmut. Modern Bakhmut is one of the leading cities of the Donetsk region with a developed industrial complex, the oldest city in the Donbas area, the cultural and historical center of the Donetsk region.

  • Hybrid Warfare and the Protection of Civilians in Ukraine

Cover: June 4, 2013, Spartak, Ukraine: June 2021 Unexploded ordnances in Eastern Ukraine continue to cause harm to civilians. T +1 202 558 6958 E [email protected] civiliansinconflict.org ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION AND VISION Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international organization dedicated to promoting the protection of civilians in conflict. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict. Our mission is to support communities affected by conflict in their quest for protection and strengthen the resolve and capacity of armed actors to prevent and respond to civilian harm. CIVIC was established in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a young humanitarian who advocated on behalf of civilians affected by the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Honoring Marla’s legacy, CIVIC has kept an unflinching focus on the protection of civilians in conflict. Today, CIVIC has a presence in conflict zones and key capitals throughout the world where it collaborates with civilians to bring their protection concerns directly to those in power, engages with armed actors to reduce the harm they cause to civilian populations, and advises governments and multinational bodies on how to make life-saving and lasting policy changes. CIVIC’s strength is its proven approach and record of improving protection outcomes for civilians by working directly with conflict-affected communities and armed actors. At CIVIC, we believe civilians are not “collateral damage” and civilian harm is not an unavoidable consequence of conflict—civilian harm can and must be prevented.

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.

  • A Rapid WASH and Infrastructure Assessment in Non-Government Controlled Areas of Eastern Ukraine
    ` A Rapid WASH and Infrastructure Assessment in Non-Government Controlled Areas of Eastern Ukraine August, 2015 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This assessment was commissioned by UNICEF, with data collected remotely by REACH in July 2015 from key informants at water, health, and education facilities as well as from affected communities. Thanks go to all those individuals and organisations who contributed towards this assessment, including the Global WASH Cluster who contributed to the final analysis and drafting. REACH is a joint initiative of IMPACT, its sister organisation ACTED, and the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH facilitates the development of information tools and products that enhance the capacity of aid actors to make evidence-based decisions. For more information, write to [email protected], visit www.reach-intiative.org and follow us @REACH_info. Cover photo: Delivery of drinking water to Debaltseve, Donetsk Oblast, March 2015, ©UNICEF i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Conflict has been ongoing in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts since May 2014, with spikes of violence in June 2014 and again in January-February and in July 2015. Attempts to negotiate a political solution to the conflict led to the ‘Minsk’ ceasefire signed between the Governments of Ukraine, Russian Federation and the non-state actors in September 2014. However, the truce collapsed within days, similar to a new ceasefire agreement signed in February 2015. Relative calm around the Contact Line (CL) has ensued since September 2015, however, the situation remains fragile given lack of trust between the parties to the conflict. From the end of 2014, Ukrainian legislation has restricted freedom of moment of both people and goods, in addition to the cessation of salary and pension payments in the non-governmental controlled areas (NGCAs), increasing hardship for local populations.

  • Human Rights in Eastern Ukraine During the Coronavirus Pandemic
    Human rights in Eastern Ukraine during the coronavirus pandemic Results of monitoring along the Line of Contact IN LIMBO February This report is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development 8-12 (USAID). The contents are the responsibility of PROGRESS and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. HUMAN RIGHTS IN EASTERN UKRAINE DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC 3 Results of monitoring along the Line of Contact February 8-12 Introduction Before the COVID-19 pandemic, there were over one million crossings per month on average at the entry-exit checkpoints (EECPs) to cross between government-controlled areas of Ukraine and areas controlled by Russia-backed separatists.1 Safe crossing for civilians through the EECPs at the Line of Contact (LoC), the demarcation line separating government- and non-government-controlled areas, is essential. This is especially important for many elderly residents living in non-government- controlled areas, who must cross through EECPs to access government pensions, withdraw cash, collect documents, or purchase medicine or food. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous and shifting guidelines and quarantine restrictions have dramatically increased the difficulty of crossing the LoC via the EECPs. Due to all these factors, those who have been near or tried crossing the EECPs often feel unsafe. Crossing the LoC during the COVID-19 pandemic also entails several additional requirements, not all of which people can fulfill. These requirements include having a suitable smartphone to install an obligatory mobile application, Vdoma, when not all crossers have smartphones or internet access; self-isolation requirements; and allowing time for delays in processing documents required from the crossers by either Ukrainian or so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR)/Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR)” de facto authorities.
