The communities were carefully selected in line with the project’s objectives and applications received from local authorities. Preference was given to the communities in close proximity to the “contact line” and to exit and entry checkpoints (EECPs), as well as large districts with a significant proportion of rural residents. Last but not least, the interest of communities in working and closely cooperating with the programme was assessed so as to ensure the sustainability of subsequent results. As a result, the following communities were selected to participate in the “Mobile Service Delivery for Conflict-Affected Populations in Eastern Ukraine” Project: Kurakhove, Mariinka, Mariupol, Siversk and Vuhledar in Donetsk Oblast, and Novoaidar, Popasna, Shchastia, Sievierodonetsk and Stanytsia Luhanska in Luhansk Oblast (see Figure 1).

CARBON AND CERTAIN ALLOY STEEL WIRE ROD FROM BELARUS, ITALY, KOREA, RUSSIA, SOUTH AFRICA, SPAIN, TURKEY, UKRAINE, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, AND UNITED KINGDOM INV. NOS. 701-TA-573-574 AND 731-TA-1349-1358 (PRELIMINARY) TESTIMONY OF CRAIG A. LEWIS, ESQ. HOGAN LOVELLS US LLP ON BEHALF OF PUBLIC JOINT STOCK COMPANY YENAKIIEVE IRON & STEEL WORKS 1. Good morning Commission staff. My name is Craig Lewis and I am a partner with Hogan Lovells. I am appearing today on behalf of Ukrainian producers Yenakiieve Steel and its Makiivka steel works. I regret that Metinvest was unable to provide a company witness from Ukraine on such short notice. 2. Until very recently, Yenakiieve was a fully integrated Ukrainian steel company operating within the Metinvest Group. Yenakiieve Steel produced a wide range of metal products including billets, angles, channels, beams, wire rod, and rebar. 3. I refer you to the map we have provided. The Yenakiieve and Makiivka steel works are located in the Donetsk region of Eastern Ukraine. Since 2014, the Donbas region of Ukraine, including the cities of Yenakiieve and Makiivka, has become a war zone, as separatist groups, backed by Russia, seized the region through military action. Political and security control of the region has been taken away from the Ukrainian Government and seized by the separatists. 4. The resulting conflict has claimed the lives of many thousands of innocent civilians and Ukrainian soldiers. It has also had a profound negative impact on manufacturing industries in the region. Critical infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, including 1 separatist also began a systematic inventory of the plants, their equipment, and stores.
