CONCLUSIONS 10 Thus, the general operational environment in the Joint Forces Operation area remains under control. The formation of the battle groups of the enemy is not detected. In the short-term perspective one should expect: continuation of reconnaissance activities (using primarily EW and intelligence means) in the rear areas of our troops in order to obtain information about the state and activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine; provocative shellings conduct IOT cause response fire by JF units and accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine of violating the agreements achieved by TCG on ceasefire implementation, as well as to force the Ukrainian side to negotiate directly with the representatives of the Russian occupying administration on TOT in DLR. sniper units and ATGM squads usage by the enemy at Bakhmut, Toretsk, Avdiyivka, Kurakhiv and Mariupol directions. In case of the decision adoption by the Russian occupying troops leadership with RF support, the disrupt the ceasefire regime of complete and comprehensive ceasefire on the line of contact is possible in the near future.

  • REQUIEM for DONBAS Three Essays on the Costs of War in Ukraine
    JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenberger Str. 69 4040 Linz, Austria www.jku.at, DVR 0093696 REQUIEM FOR DONBAS Three Essays on the Costs of War in Ukraine By Artem Kochnev A Doctoral Thesis submitted at Department of Economics to obtain the academic degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Doctoral Program “PhD Program in Economics” Supervisor and First Examiner Second Examiner em. Univ-Prof. Dr. Michael Landesmann Dr. habil. rer. soc. oec. Robert Stehrer May 2020 Abstract The thesis investigates short- and long-term effects of war on the economy of Ukraine. Specifically, it discusses the impact of separatists’ control and subsequent adverse trade policies on the real economy, responses of stock market investors to battle events, and the effect of conflict intensity on reform progress and institutional change in Ukraine. The thesis finds that the impact of war on the economy is most pronounced on the real economy of the war-torn regions. Whereas separatists’ control caused a decline in economic activity by at least 38%, the thesis does not find evidence supporting that the impact of conflict intensity on asset prices and institutional change in Ukraine was linear in parameters. The thesis explains the lack of the linear relationship between asset price move- ments and conflict intensity by investors’ inattention caused by information overload during the early stages of the conflict. Regarding the possible relationship between con- flict and institutional change, the thesis argues that it was electoral competition, not the conflict dynamics, that had an impact on the decision-making process of the policymak- ers in Ukraine.

  • Hybrid Warfare and the Protection of Civilians in Ukraine
    ENTERING THE GREY-ZONE: Hybrid Warfare and the Protection of Civilians in Ukraine civiliansinconflict.org i RECOGNIZE. PREVENT. PROTECT. AMEND. PROTECT. PREVENT. RECOGNIZE. Cover: June 4, 2013, Spartak, Ukraine: June 2021 Unexploded ordnances in Eastern Ukraine continue to cause harm to civilians. T +1 202 558 6958 E [email protected] civiliansinconflict.org ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION AND VISION Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international organization dedicated to promoting the protection of civilians in conflict. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict. Our mission is to support communities affected by conflict in their quest for protection and strengthen the resolve and capacity of armed actors to prevent and respond to civilian harm. CIVIC was established in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a young humanitarian who advocated on behalf of civilians affected by the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Honoring Marla’s legacy, CIVIC has kept an unflinching focus on the protection of civilians in conflict. Today, CIVIC has a presence in conflict zones and key capitals throughout the world where it collaborates with civilians to bring their protection concerns directly to those in power, engages with armed actors to reduce the harm they cause to civilian populations, and advises governments and multinational bodies on how to make life-saving and lasting policy changes. CIVIC’s strength is its proven approach and record of improving protection outcomes for civilians by working directly with conflict-affected communities and armed actors. At CIVIC, we believe civilians are not “collateral damage” and civilian harm is not an unavoidable consequence of conflict—civilian harm can and must be prevented.

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).

  • Through Times of Trouble Russian, Eurasian, and Eastern European Politics
    i Through Times of Trouble Russian, Eurasian, and Eastern European Politics Series Editor: Michael O. Slobodchikoff, Troy University Mission Statement Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, little attention was paid to Russia, Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. The United States and many Western governments reassigned their analysts to address different threats. Scholars began to focus much less on Russia, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, instead turning their attention to East Asia among other regions. With the descent of Ukraine into civil war, scholars and govern- ments have lamented the fact that there are not enough scholars studying Russia, Eurasia, and Eastern Europe. This series focuses on the Russian, Eurasian, and Eastern European region. We invite contributions addressing problems related to the politics and relations in this region. This series is open to contributions from scholars representing comparative politics, international relations, history, literature, linguistics, religious studies, and other disciplines whose work involves this important region. Successful proposals will be acces- sible to a multidisciplinary audience, and advance our understanding of Russia, Eurasia, and Eastern Europe. Advisory Board Michael E.

  • Ukraine Humanitarian Snapshot
    UKRAINE: Humanitarian Snapshot (as of 2 February 2017) OVERVIEWOVERVIEW HRP 2017: PRIORITIES STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES Hostilities between parties to the conflict significantly intensified in January, undermining Minsk ceasefire agreements during New Year holidays. Mariupol and the so-called ‘Svitlodarsk Arc’ (Luhanske-Kalynivka) were major hot spots in the first weeks of January. From 29 January onward, the security situation in Donetsk city area has rapidly deteriorated, with several clashes and the use of Protection heavy artillery reported in the triangle around Avdiivka (GCA), Yasynuvata and Donetsk (NGCA). OHCHR recorded 33 civilian casualties (eight deaths and 25 injuries) in January, compared to 17 in January 2016 . The sudden uptick of hostilities caused severe damage on a daily basis to residential property and critical public infrastructure, including schools, medical facilities and water, electricity infrastructure. Of alarming concern is the disruption of water and gas supply systems while temperatures are falling below -17C degrees. From 30 January to 1 February, power lines supplying electricity to Avdiivka town, Access a coke plant and two major water filter stations were shelled, resulting in stoppage and disruption in water provision to up to one million people in Donetsk city and its vicinities (NGCA), including in Avdiivka and Marinka (GCA). In Avdiivka, water supply is currently coming from a small local back-up reservoir, which may run out by 3 February unless electricity is restored, after which the town heating system is likely to stop working, potentially triggering displacement. Attempts to fix power lines have failed as ceasefires did not hold. Latest reports also highlight a major leakage of the Southern Donbas water pipeline Emergency Shelter, Water & Health as a result of shelling near Avdiivka, bringing water supply from the main pipeline or Mariupol (estimated 500,000 people) to a halt.
