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.

    FSC.DEL/32/15 18 February 2015 ENGLISH only Statement by the Delegation of Ukraine at the 780-th FSC Plenary Meeting (18 February 2015 at 10.00, Hofburg) Mr. Chairman, The agreements reached in Minsk in September 2014 and February 2015 must be fully implemented, and no action should be taken that would run contrary to the letter and spirit of these agreements. For its part, Ukraine strictly adheres to the implementation of these agreements as this is the only possible way towards the peaceful resolution in Donbas. In strict compliance with the agreement, reached in Minsk on 12 February 2015, the Ukrainian forces ceased fire along the entire line of contact since 00.00 hrs of 15 February. We proceed from understanding that achieving sustainable and comprehensive ceasefire would be a crucial step towards full implementation of the Minsk agreements of 5 and 19 September 2014 as well as the “Package of Measures” of 12 February 2015. Regrettably, despite the certain decrease of hostilities, the situation in Donbas remains very tense and numerous violations of the ceasefire on the side of the pro-Russian militants have been registered. The total number of violations of the ceasefire by the illegal armed groups over 15 February reached 164. Just on the first day of the ceasefire, Ukrainian positions around Debaltseve were shelled with mortars, artillery and MRLS 88 times. The militants also used tanks to attack the Ukrainian forces. The militants claimed in public that the Minsk agreements, in their opinion, did not relate to the situation around Debaltseve and declared that they would continue attacking the city for they have a “right to shell at Debaltseve as it is their own territory”.

  • Putin's Next Objectives in the Ukraine Crisis
    HUGO SPAULDING BACKGROUNDER FEBRUARY 3, 2015 PUTIN’S NEXT OBJECTIVES IN THE UKRAINE CRISIS Russia’s campaign in eastern Ukraine has reached an inflection point. Five months after signing a ceasefire agreement, Russian and separatist forces have moved from a preparation phase to a maneuver offensive launched by the separatist victory at the Donetsk airport on January 21, 2015. This new phase of the conflict presents a fresh set of operational decision points for the governments in Moscow and Kyiv. Will Russian- backed forces stop at the boundaries of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts [Provinces] and consolidate their gains? Will they seize Mariupol and then drive west to build a land-corridor to Crimea? Or will they prepare for much larger battles to take the pivotal cities of Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhia, whose capture would put the survival of the Ukrainian state in grave doubt? Will the Kyiv government commit reserves to defend against any of these contingencies? These decisions, much like the decision to seize the airport, will shed light on Moscow’s strategic objectives in Ukraine and Kyiv’s capacity to withstand them. They will also shape the evolution and quite possibly the outcome of this war. RUSSIAN OBJECTIVES IN KYIV Russia’s strategic interest in controlling Ukrainian political may well be reluctant to undertake it. Unless he can either affairs reflects Russian President Vladimir Putin’s belief in achieve his goals by means short of conquest or be persuaded the need to maintain a buffer between NATO, the European to accept lesser objectives, he is likely to be planning for and Union, and Russia.

  • Statement by the Delegation of Ukraine at the 822Nd FSC Plenary Meeting Mr. Chairman, in the Past Month the Combined Russian-Sep
    FSC.DEL/112/16 8 June 2016 ENGLISH only Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the International Organizations in Vienna Statement by the Delegation of Ukraine at the 822nd FSC Plenary Meeting (8 June 2016 at 10.00, Hofburg) (Agenda item 2) Mr. Chairman, In the past month the combined Russian-separatist forces in Donbas provoked hostilities at the level not seen this year. The disregard by Russia and its proxies for undertaken international commitments bears deadly and bloody consequences. Last month registered the highest toll of casualties among Ukrainian servicemen since August 2015. 28 soldiers were killed and 98 wounded. Apart from shellings and provocations, the illegal armed formations intensified their subversive activities, attacking Ukrainian units or mining the roads in the government controlled areas. Ukraine condemns the use by the militants of cynical practice of shellings from the residential areas, which was witnessed many times in the past and is recently again reported by the SMM. On 30 May the SMM informed about number of the residents of Kuibyshevskyi district of the Donetsk city where militants fired from nearby areas before withdrawing their weapons soon after. Image of a battle tank placed between residential houses, made by the SMM UAV over the militant-controlled areas near Zaitseve, is a conspicuous evidence of disregard for the Minsk agreements and for the security of the local population. In the report of 3 June the SMM registered accounts of residents in the town of Debaltseve pointing out that the Russia- backed militants shell from residential areas to provoke response of the Ukrainian forces.
