  • Offshore Companies of Petro Poroshenko: Decent Goal, Questionable Methods
    TABLE OF CONTENTS Overviews of political events of the week Analytical report REFERENDUM IN THE NETHERLANDS: CHALLENGES FOR UKRAINE AND THE EU OFFSHORE COMPANIES OF PETRO POROSHENKO: DECENT GOAL, QUESTIONABLE METHODS Overviews of political events of the week April 4 President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko informed that he signed a decree on the dismissal of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin and intends to hold consultations with the parliamentary factions regarding the candidacy of the new head of the PGO. The offshore scandal due to the leak of information from the database of the Panamanian company MossackFonseca flared up in Ukraine. According to investigation by Ukrainian journalist Anna Babinets made public within the framework of the project Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), President Poroshenko did not convey the confectionary Roshen into a trust fund as he promised, but instead formed three offshore companies for restructuring.. Commenting on the “offshore scandal”, Poroshenko stated that when he was elected president he gave up the management of assets, including those of the Roshen company. The legal council of the president justify the creation of such a group of firms by the fact that “it corresponds to market practice in Ukraine for enterprises that are subject to sale to strategic investors. April 5 Nadia Savchenko went on a dry hunger strike. Such was the reaction of the Ukrainian pilot to the sentence of the Russian court, which took effect today. Savchenko’s defense attorneys informed that their defendant out of principle does not accept the court sentence of 22 years in prison and will remain on her hunger strike until she is allowed to return to Ukraine.

  • Can Poroshenko Secure His Second Presidential Term in 2019?
    Can Poroshenko secure his second presidential term in 2019? Mykola Vorobiov Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation Fellow Center for Transatlantic Relations Johns Hopkins University SAIS As Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko prepares to run for re-election in March 2019, his political fate is uncertain at best. Indeed, one year before Ukraine’s next presidential election, Poroshenko’s ambition to hold onto power looks unrealistic. According to polls conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KMIS) in February, Poroshenko’s support among decided voters stood at a paltry 9.8%. Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, leader of the “Batkyvshyna” (“Fatherland”) party, led the field of candidates with 24.6%. Controversial opposition figure Oleh Lyashko, the head of the populist “Radical Party,” and former Minister of Defense Anatoliy Grytsenko polled at 15.5 % and 12.5 %, respectively.1 The implications are clear—while Ukrainians are divided on who should lead the country, most are united in their distaste for the incumbent. Poroshenko has faced domestic and international criticism for his lavish lifestyle, attempts to intimidate political opponents, and failure to enact many of the sweeping anti-corruption reforms promised after the Revolution of Dignity ousted his predecessor, Viktor Yanukovych, in 2014. The approval rating of the president’s party is even more grim. If the elections were conducted today, “Petro Poroshenko’s Bloc” (BPP)—at present, the largest faction in Ukraine’s Parliament—would come in fifth place, with just 6.6% of voters supporting BPP. For comparison, Tymoshenko’s party would take first place with 22.5 %, and the Radical Party would come second with 13.7%.

Though there are many venues to prove this, such as Russian intervention in Syria, this paper focuses on the Russian state’s dialogue on Ukraine through the lens of its foreign state news agency, RT (formerly known as RussiaToday). RT is an appropriate means of analyzing the way in which the Russian government views itself and how it would like to be perceived as such by the West. The agency was created as a self-described “public diplomacy” project to improve the image of Russia abroad by providing a “Russian perspective” and receives funding from the government of Russia.1 The Russian state’s dialogue on Ukraine is significant because the country acts as a canvas for Russia to paint its foreign policy.

  • The State of Implementation of the Associations and Free Trade
    DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY The state of implementation of the associations and free trade agreements with Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova with a particular focus on Ukraine and systemic analysis of key sectors ABSTRACT Signing and ratifying Association Agreements with Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine has proven to be an impressive affirmation of Brussels’ soft power. The EU’s overtures have persuaded elites and mobilised societies despite the fact that the Agreements come neither with a membership promise nor with the kind of financial assistance that has been given to the EU’s new member states. EU assistance has been effective in restoring macro-financial stability in all three countries. While costs of compliance with the DCFTA were calculated, level of investment associated with the necessary modernisation to make these economies competitive were neglected. The discrepancy between costs and benefits should prompt the EU to be more flexible. Brussels’ achievements remain fragile. Informal interests continue to play important roles in these countries and have the potential to thwart reforms. In the absence of strong, de-politicised institutions, the EU should work to support political consolidation—the alternative is further polarisation and political fragility—while at the same time insisting on adherence to democratic standards and strengthened institutional checks and balances.

  • Comparing Sustainability Communication in Swedish and Ukrainian Companies
    Comparing Sustainability Communication in Swedish and Ukrainian Companies: The case of Cloetta and Roshen. Karl Volkohon Master thesis, 15 hp Supervisor: Media and Communication Studies Ekaterina Kalinina Sustainable communication Examiner: Spring 2021 Renira Gambarato JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY Master thesis, 15 credits School of Education and Course: Sustainable Communication Communication Term: Spring 2021 Box 1026, SE-551 11 Jönköping, Sweden +46 (0)36 101000 ABSTRACT Writer: Karl Volkohon Title: Comparing Sustainability Communication in Swedish and Ukrainian Companies Subtitle: The case of Cloetta and Roshen. Language: English Pages: 44 This is a study of how two companies from different countries construct and communicate their Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The companies are from the confectionery industry with a similar size, sales, and number of factories. The only difference is the origin of the companies. One is from a developed country (Cloetta based in Sweden) and another is from a developing country (Roshen based in Ukraine). The combination of critical discourse and comparative analysis is used in the study to explain the contexts of countries and companies. The analytical categories are based on Triple Bottom Line Theory and the value-based concept of Sustainability. The study shows the differences in the constructs of Sustainability and CSR of companies from Sweden and Ukraine. Cloetta's communication is used as a form of legitimization and a tool of green marketing (for enhancing the image and its repair in case of a crisis).
