  • Why Yulia Tymoshenko Will Remain Imprisoned
    Why Yulia Tymoshenko Will Remain Imprisoned Publication: Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 8 Issue: 204 November 4, 2011 06:14 PM Age: 49 days By: Taras Kuzio (Source: AP) Western policymakers and Ukrainian experts are perplexed as to why President Viktor Yanukovych agreed to the court quickly sentencing Yulia Tymoshenko on October 11 to a seven year sentence, a three year ban from political life and a fine of 1.5 billion hryvnia ($190 million). The “7+3” charges ban Tymoshenko from the next two presidential and three parliamentary elections. The sentence, refusal to heed the flood of Western criticism and the new charges against Tymoshenko only one day later led the EU to cancel the October 20 visit to Brussels by Yanukovych. The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) has launched two new charges against Tymoshenko related to when she was CEO of United Energy Systems in 1995-1997 and the assassination of Viktor Yushchenko’s protégé Vadym Hetman in 1998. Ten factors explain how and why the Yanukovych administration dug itself into a hole. Feral elites: Ukraine’s elites have little connection to society whose citizens and voters they treat with contempt and do not feel any responsibility toward. Feral elites believe the world is Machiavellian and the ends justify the means. Most Western media coverage used language similar to the Economist (October 11) to describe Yanukovych as “thuggish and vindictive” (The Times, October 14, The New York Times, October 17). National interests: personal and business interests are of greater importance than Ukraine’s national interests. Revenge against Tymoshenko for removing the opaque gas intermediary RosUkrEnergo from the 2009 gas contract with Russia is more important for the feral elites than European integration.

  • Collaborationism and War Crimes As Phenomena in the Information Society Valentina Shaikan 1,* Kateryna Datsko 1 Nina Ivaniuk 1 Alim Batiuk1
    Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 129 III International Scientific Congress Society of Ambient Intelligence 2020 (ISC-SAI 2020) Collaborationism and War Crimes as Phenomena in the Information Society Valentina Shaikan 1,* Kateryna Datsko 1 Nina Ivaniuk 1 Alim Batiuk1 1 Kryvyi Rih Economic Institute of Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Ukraine *Corresponding author. email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The article deals with the importance for Ukraine, in the context of the hybrid war, of the implementation of international and humanitarian law in the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The authors argue the problem of war crimes and collaboration in the modern information society and its resolution is important for Ukraine, especially in the context of a powerful information confrontation between the Russian Federation and Ukraine as part of a hybrid war. Based on the processed documents and literature, the authors propose their own definition of collaboration and its manifestations by definition and typology. It was concluded that the Soviet totalitarian system had morally maimed many generations of people. The ideological and political uncertainty, confusion, social amorphism of a certain part of Ukraine's population, the pro-Kremlin orientation of a part of Ukrainian politicians are still the main cause of collaboration and war crimes in Ukraine. Western Europe is characterized by the lawful and generally accepted international practice of prosecuting war criminals. In the former Soviet Union, this process was accompanied by mass violations of human rights, politicization of the judiciary, the application of collective responsibility, ignoring the principle of the presumption of innocence, and so on.

  • Identification Criteria
    European Journal of Sustainable Development (2020), 9, 3, 425-442 ISSN: 2239-5938 Doi: 10.14207/ejsd.2020.v9n3p425 Sustainable Development Management of Local Territories in the Eastern Ukraine in Conditions of Military Conflict: Identification Criteria By Yuliia Rohozian1, Svitlana Hrechana1, Olena Kuzmenko2, Nataliia Derzhak3, Vitalii Kuchmenko4, Mykhailo Plietnov5 Abstract Decentralization, which has begun and continues in Ukraine, has raised the living standards of local people to a new level by updating tools and methods of managing the sustainable development of such territories, updating a particularly balanced approach to planning and finding reliable sources. In this context, it is advisable to identify qualitatively the local area, which is not only a guarantee of their subjectivity and sustainability, but also the basis for the strategies forming for their socio- economic development, the realism and effectiveness of which is based on sustainable development management as well as administrative and financial capacity of communities. However, as practice has shown, most local areas, although willing to identify their unique features, but do not know how to do it, because the current legal field in Ukraine does not regulate the procedure and criteria for such identification. This article was an attempt to research the managerial possibilities of creating a positive image of the territory through the sustainable development and choice of appropriate assessment parameters – the criteria for identifying the amalgamated territorial communities of Ukraine as local territories. As a result of the research, a model list of such criteria is proposed, which is sufficiently universal to determine the unique and typical characteristics of any territories, and also contains a specific subsystem that allows reflecting the individual features of territories close to the armed conflict zone in the Eastern Ukraine.
