Weekly Update from the OSCE Observer Mission at Russian Checkpoints Gukovo and Donetsk based on information as of 29 June 2021

OSCE - Tue, 06/29/2021 - 16:12

SUMMARY

Kamensk-Shakhtinskiy, Russian Federation. The Observer Mission (OM) continues to operate 24/7 at both Border Crossing Points (BCPs). The overall number of border crossings by persons slightly decreased at both BCPs compared to the previous week. 

OPERATIONAL REMARKS

The OM is currently operating with 22 permanent international Mission members, including the Chief Observer (CO) and a First Responder.[1] The Mission is supported administratively by a staff member and the Chief of Fund Administration based in Vienna.

Update on COVID-19 measures

Activities have been impacted by COVID-19 and measures undertaken by the OM to ensure the safety and duty of care of its Mission members and compliance with measures set by the host country authorities. The Mission is continuing to keep the situation under review, in close contact with the OSCE Secretariat and the Chairpersonship. Following the host country’s recommendations, the observers are adhering to distancing. Due to the preventive measures taken by the central and regional authorities, the OM is faced with certain difficulties, but is still able to continue to fulfil its mandate without any limitations in its observation and reporting activities. The vaccination process provided by the host country medical system continues on a voluntary basis. To date, 80 per cent of OM staff have now been vaccinated.

OBSERVATIONS AT THE BORDER CROSSING POINTS

Persons crossing the border

The profile of persons crossing the border can be categorized as follows:

  1. Adults travelling on foot or by car with little or no luggage.
  2. Persons in military-style outfits.
  3. Families (often including elderly persons and/or children) travelling on foot or by car with a significant amount of luggage.

The average number of entries/exits slightly decreased from 9,717 to 9,649 per day at both BCPs compared to last week. During the reporting period, the majority of border crossings were to the Russian Federation, with an average net flow of 262 per day for both BCPs. The Donetsk BCP continued to experience much more traffic than the Gukovo BCP.

Responding to the COVID-19 situation, the host country closed its borders for the majority of foreigners starting from 18 March 2020. Among the exceptions of persons allowed to cross the border (which entered into force on 19 March) are Ukrainian citizens and stateless persons holding passports or identification documents proving permanent residence in certain areas of Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine. In addition, reportedly, due to the threat of the spread of COVID-19, starting from 10 April 2020, the organized passenger transport commuting between the non-government-controlled areas of Luhansk region of Ukraine and the Russian Federation was temporarily suspended and restored from 25 June.

Persons in military-style outfits

During the reporting period, the number of persons in military-style outfits crossing the border was one, compared to the three observed last week; the observed  person crossed into the Russian Federation while no persons were observed crossing into Ukraine. This individual crossed the border on foot.

Families with a significant amount of luggage

The OTs continued to report on families, sometimes with elderly persons and/or children, crossing the border at both BCPs with a significant amount of luggage, or travelling in heavily loaded cars. During this reporting week, five families were observed crossing into the Russian Federation while no families were observed crossing into Ukraine, compared to the previous reporting period when no families were observed crossing neither into the Russian Federation nor into Ukraine.

Bus connections                                         

Regular local and long-distance bus connections continued to operate between Ukraine (mostly from/to the Luhansk region) and the Russian Federation. During the reporting period, the OTs observed an increase in the overall number of buses crossing the border at both BCPs (411 compared to 386 observed during the previous week). There were 202 buses bound for the Russian Federation and 209 bound for Ukraine.

On some occasions, the OTs noticed the bus drivers removing the itinerary signs from the windshields of their buses, while some buses did not display their route at all. The majority of long-distance buses commuting between the Luhansk region and cities in the Russian Federation had Ukrainian licence plates issued in the Luhansk region.

Among the bus connections observed by the OTs, the following “irregular” route or destination: “Sevastopol-Stakhanov” was noted.

Trucks

During the reporting period, the OTs observed an increase in the overall number of trucks crossing the border at both BCPs (844 compared to 769 during the previous reporting week); 495 at the Gukovo BCP and 349 at the Donetsk BCP, 474 of these trucks crossed into the Russian Federation, and 370 crossed into Ukraine. Most of the trucks observed by the OTs had Ukrainian licence plates issued in the Luhansk region; however, on a daily basis, the OTs also noted trucks registered in Belarus, Lithuania, Georgia, the Russian Federation, and trucks with “LPR” plates.

The OTs also continued to observe tanker trucks crossing the border in both directions. During the reporting period, the OTs observed a slight increase in the overall number of tanker trucks crossing the border at both BCPs (51 compared to 49 during the previous reporting week). These trucks were observed crossing the border at both BCPs. The trucks had the words “Propane” and “Flammable” written across the tanks in either Russian or Ukrainian. The majority of tanker trucks had hazard signs, indicating that they were transporting propane or a mix of propane and butane. All trucks underwent systematic inspection by Russian Federation officials, which could include an X-ray check. Due to the unfavorable observation position at the Gukovo BCP, the OTs continued to be unable to observe any X-ray checks.

Compared to the previous week, the total number of X-ray checks at the Donetsk BCP increased from 141 to 175. Of the total number of trucks scanned, 173 trucks (99 per cent) were bound for Ukraine, and the remaining two (one per cent) crossed into the Russian Federation.

Minivans

The OM continued to observe passenger and cargo minivans[2] crossing the border in both directions at both BCPs. The OTs observed minivans predominantly with Ukrainian licence plates issued in the Luhansk region; however, the OTs also saw minivans registered in the Russian Federation. During the reporting period, the OTs observed an increase in the overall number of minivans crossing the border at both BCPs (153 compared to 135 observed during the previous week); 88 crossed into the Russian Federation and another 65 into Ukraine.

Trains

The OTs continued to pick up the sound of trains on the railway tracks located approximately 150m south-west of the Gukovo BCP. During the reporting week, the OTs heard trains on 41 occasions; the OTs assessed that 21 trains were travelling to the Russian Federation and the remaining 20 trains were travelling to Ukraine (more details are provided in the sections “trends and figures at a glance” below).

Visual observation was not possible because of the line of trees located between the train tracks and the BCP.

Other observations

The majority of vehicles crossing the border had Ukrainian licence plates issued in the Luhansk region or Russian Federation licence plates. A significant number of vehicles with “LPR” plates were also observed crossing the border in both directions on a daily basis. The OTs also observed vehicles with Georgian, Polish and Lithuanian ordinary and transit licence plates.

On 24 June at 13:45, the OT at the Donetsk BCP observed a yellow ambulance type “Mercedes Sprinter” with “LPR” plates and two passengers on board, arriving at the BCP from the direction of Ukraine. The ambulance had an inscription “Medical Transportation” on the side (in Russian). After undergoing border and customs control procedures, the vehicle left for the Russian Federation at 14:15.   

On 24 June at 14:35, the OT at the Donetsk BCP observed an ambulance type “GAZelle” with “LPR” plates and two passengers on board, entering the BCP from Ukraine. The vehicle had the inscription “Urgent Medical Help” on the side (in Russian). After undergoing border and customs control procedures, the ambulance left for the Russian Federation at 15:30. The same day at 19:37, the same ambulance was observed crossing the border from the Russian Federation into Ukraine. The OT was unable to observe any other details from its position

On 24 June at 20:10, the OT at the Gukovo BCP observed a minivan type “Mercedes” with “LPR” plates, entering the BCP from the Russian Federation side. The vehicle had the Red Cross sign on the front and rear sides and red stripes with the inscription “Med-Taxi/ transportation of bedridden/lying (seated) patients” on the side (in Russian). The driver and a man were observed on board. After undergoing border and customs control procedures, the vehicle left for Ukraine at 20:55.  

On 25 June at 09:55, the OT at the Gukovo BCP observed a minivan with “LPR” plates with driver and one passenger on board, crossing the border from Ukraine into the Russian Federation. The van had the inscription “Med-Taxi/ transportation of bedridden/lying and seated patients” on the side (in Russian). The same day at 12:51, the same van was observed crossing the border from the Russian Federation into Ukraine.

Le gouvernement lance le volet Arch Formation

24 Heures au Bénin - Tue, 06/29/2021 - 15:58

Le ministre des Affaires Sociales et de la Microfinance Véronique Tognifodé Mèwanou et des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises Modeste Tihounté Kérékou ont procédé lundi 28 juin 2021 au lancement du volet formation du projet Assurance pour le Renforcement du Capital Humain (ARCH) en présence du Préfet du Littoral Alain Orounla.

Le volet formation du projet Assurance pour le Renforcement du Capital Humain a démarré ce lundi 28 juin 2021 pour deux semaines. Il prend en compte une centaine d'apprenants dans plusieurs corps de métiers à savoir, électricité bâtiment, techniques de montage et de maintenance d'équipements d'énergie solaire photovoltaïque, menuiserie aluminium.

« Ce n'est que le début d'une grande activité qui permettra de former plus de 7.000 artisans béninois sur toute l'étendue du territoire national avec des équipements de dernière génération sous le coaching des experts venus de l'extérieur et des formateurs nationaux », a déclaré Venant Quenum, directeur Général de l'Agence Nationale de Protection Sociales (ANPS).

Pour le Ministre Modeste Kérékou, cette formation permettra aux Béninois de renforcer leurs compétences pratiques et techniques. Ils pourront accéder à de nouveaux marchés par la qualité de leurs productions et ainsi améliorer leurs revenus.
« Nous avons fait grandir avec beaucoup de difficultés (volet Arch formation) mais nous y sommes arrivés avec une sérieuse organisation, une bonne structuration selon les normes appropriées », s'est réjouie la ministre Véronique Tognifodé. Elle a invité les bénéficiaires au travail bien fait. « Le Gouvernement joue déjà sa partition pour votre bien-être. La balle est maintenant dans votre camp », a-t-elle ajouté.

À Pahou, des bénéficiaires sont en formation dans le cadre du même projet en menuiserie aluminium à l'école de gestion et d'industrie de Pahou. La formation démarre très bientôt dans les autres départements.

ARCH est un grand projet de protection sociale avec un paquet de 4 services au profit des populations. Il y a le volet assurance maladie, le volet formation, le volet crédit et le volet assurance retraite.
ARCH Formation a pour but d'accroître le niveau de qualification et d'accès aux opportunités économiques des acteurs du secteur informel, notamment les plus démunis.
