  • The MH17 Trial Part 2: the Bezler Tapes, a Case of Red Herrings? - Bellingcat
    03.11.2020 The MH17 Trial Part 2: The Bezler Tapes, a Case of Red Herrings? - bellingcat The MH17 Trial Part 2: The Bezler Tapes, a Case of Red Herrings? October 17, 2020 MH17 Russia Translations: Русский When Dutch prosecutors of the court in The Hague read out their case against four suspects charged with complicity in the downing of MH17, they also explained why individuals previously linked to this crime were not (yet) indicted. One of them is former Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) separatist leader Igor Bezler, a Russian citizen with ties to Russia’s military intelligence agency (known as the GRU) who currently lives in Russian-annexed Crimea. The main pieces of evidence that previously linked Bezler to this crime concern two of his phone calls that were originally intercepted by the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU). One of the recordings was part of a conversation with alleged GRU officer Vasily Geranin in which Bezler announces the downing of an aircraft just twenty minutes after MH17. The SBU had released this recording on the day of the downing along with the accusation that the Bezler Group was directly involved in the downing of MH17. The other intercepted conversation was released one week later and became known as the “birdie conversation”. In this call, which according to the SBU was recorded just two minutes before the downing of MH17, Bezler is informed by someone with the call sign “Naemnik” (“Mercenary”) that a “birdie” – i.e. an aircraft – flew towards him. Both calls have been the subject of much speculation in the media, and were also the subject of analysis in previous Bellingcat reports.

  • Problems of Mining the Prospective Coal-Bearing Areas in Donbas
    E3S Web of Conferences 123, 01011 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf /201912301011 Ukrainian School of Mining Engineering - 2019 Problems of mining the prospective coal- bearing areas in Donbas Serhii Nehrii1*, Tetiana Nehrii1, Leonid Bachurin2, and Hanna Piskurska3 1Donetsk National Technical University, Department of Mineral Deposits Development, 2 Shybankova Sq., 85300 Pokrovsk, Ukraine 2Donetsk National Technical University, Department of Production Management and Occupational Safety, 2 Shybankova Sq., 85300 Pokrovsk, Ukraine 3Donetsk National Technical University, Department of Language Training, 2 Shybankova Sq., 85300 Pokrovsk, Ukraine Abstract. The prospective coal-bearing areas of Donbas in Ukraine have been identified. Their development will increase the energy security of Ukraine. It has been suggested that the development of these areas will involve mining the coal seams in a weak roof and floor environment, which are characterized by low compressive strength, lower density and a tendency to plastic deformations. The stability has been assessed of the rocks outcrop on the contour of mine roadways for mines operating in these areas. It has been determined that roof rocks in most of these mines belong to a range of groups from very unstable to moderately stable, and the bottom rocks are, in most cases, prone to swelling. This complicates the intensive prospective areas mining with the use of advanced technologies, as well as secondary support for retained goaf-side gateroads with limited yielding property. The mines have been determined, for which this issue is relevant when mining the seams with further increase in the depth. The mechanism of displacement in the secondary supports and has been exemplified and studied using the numerical method.

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.
