  • Human Rights in Eastern Ukraine During the Coronavirus Pandemic
    Human rights in Eastern Ukraine during the coronavirus pandemic Results of monitoring along the Line of Contact IN LIMBO February This report is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development 8-12 (USAID). The contents are the responsibility of PROGRESS and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. HUMAN RIGHTS IN EASTERN UKRAINE DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC 3 Results of monitoring along the Line of Contact February 8-12 Introduction Before the COVID-19 pandemic, there were over one million crossings per month on average at the entry-exit checkpoints (EECPs) to cross between government-controlled areas of Ukraine and areas controlled by Russia-backed separatists.1 Safe crossing for civilians through the EECPs at the Line of Contact (LoC), the demarcation line separating government- and non-government-controlled areas, is essential. This is especially important for many elderly residents living in non-government- controlled areas, who must cross through EECPs to access government pensions, withdraw cash, collect documents, or purchase medicine or food. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous and shifting guidelines and quarantine restrictions have dramatically increased the difficulty of crossing the LoC via the EECPs. Due to all these factors, those who have been near or tried crossing the EECPs often feel unsafe. Crossing the LoC during the COVID-19 pandemic also entails several additional requirements, not all of which people can fulfill. These requirements include having a suitable smartphone to install an obligatory mobile application, Vdoma, when not all crossers have smartphones or internet access; self-isolation requirements; and allowing time for delays in processing documents required from the crossers by either Ukrainian or so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR)/Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR)” de facto authorities.

For the purpose of this assessment, this was identified as “Households currently residing in the same town or village as before the conflict, though not necessarily in the same accommodation.” • Sampling framework based on convenience due to access limitations: • 4 towns/villages on or near front line in Luhansk oblast were selected based on existing NRC operations there (see map) • One additional town in non-government controlled area had been identified (Pervomaisk) but security / access constraints prevented data collection • A total of 286 household interviews were conducted between 15 June and 5 July 2015. Between 66 and 74 households were interviewed in each location.
