“Kalmius Group” is an informal association of Ukrainian analysts whose goal is to promote the restoration of the
country’s sovereignty in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Motivation of our
Group’s activities is clear and transparent — to contribute effectively and professionally to the restoration of the
territorial integrity of the country. The name of the coalition comes from the Kalmius River, which unites the free
and temporarily occupied districts of the region and symbolizes the hope of citizens on both sides of the
demarcation line to peace-making by stopping the interstate conflict and restoring the unity of Ukraine, the rule of
law and order in the territories affected by the armed confrontation. More: www.kalmiusgroup.org
This study was presented by the “Kalmius Group” initiative under “Ukraine Confidence Building Initiative” (UCBI ІІ)
project, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The study was made possible
thanks to the generous support of the American people through USAID. The product content is the sole responsi-
bility of the “Kalmius Group” and does not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the US Government.
