THE VITAL REFORM OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY AND ANTI-CORRUPTION SECTORS OF UKRAINE SO FAR IS ONLY ON PAPER
Victor Hvozd
In the last five years, in the context of Russia’s “hybrid” war against Ukraine, many approaches to the organization, activity, legislative support and necessary changes in a wide range of national security and defense in Ukraine have changed dramatically. Many approaches really have changed, but not all of them. With the creation of new anti-corruption bodies, which for the first time in the history of the state, formed, so to speak, the anti-corruption sector of national security — the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), the National Anti-Corruption Agency, the State Bureau of Investigation (DBR) — there is an urgent need to reform the main body of this sector — the Security Service of Ukraine

Another Round of the Pakistani-Indian Confrontation Roman Kot Since the beginning of this month, relations between India and Pakistan have become aggravated again. On 5 and 6 August 2019, the Government of India repealed the special status accorded to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. The Parliament of India also passed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill, which will reorganise the state into two union territories — Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. Pakistan’s ability to influence New Delhi’s decisions on Kashmir is extremely small and is, in fact, limited to appealing to the international community. Given the steps taken by…

2018 Annual Report of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) Serhiy Polyovyk The institution responsible for internal security and timely and effective counteraction to threats in Germany is the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitutions (BfV). This is one of the secret services that performs counter-intelligence tasks and collects information about spyware that is being conducted on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany in favor of other countries. June 27, 2019, Federal Minister of the Interior of Germany, Horst Seehofer and President of the BfV Thomas Haldenwang, issued a BfV document entitled “The 2018 Report on the Protection of the Constitution”.

Today is the time when the state should, at last, pay attention to such an extremely important state instrument as intelligence. It is of vital importance in today’s complex world, especially for Ukraine. The attitude to the Intelligence in Ukraine is still the Soviet one, or as it is also called the “sovok” approach — as to something super secret and mysterious, which is often very beneficial to the authorities, therefore sometimes it prompts them to use intelligence for other agendas or to use it ineffectively, when the intelligence service is assessed from the point of view of its leader’s personal commitment, and not on the results of the work, and also quite often on the principle…
More >>Strengthening China’s Positions in Afghanistan
Roman Kot While the United States, against the background of the escalation of its relations with Iran, is dwelling on how to get rid of the consequences of another protracted conflict in Afghanistan by withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan, China more and more bluntly demonstrates willingness to fill in this “vacuum”. On the 20th June, 2019, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC issued a statement on the Taliban delegation’s visit to Beijing. At the meeting, Chinese experts discussed establishing a peace process in Afghanistan and combating terrorism. It would seem that the level of such a meeting cannot be considered the highest since it was a working visit. China’s long-standing ties with the Taliban, mainly through the intermediary of Pakistani…

Oleksiy Volovych The natural gas and oil deposits in the Lebanese energy basin in the Eastern Mediterranean, discovered by the American oil and gas company Noble Energy Mediterranean in 2009–2010, have become almost at once exploration and development target for the countries of the sub-region — Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, Greece and Turkey. In 2010, the US Geological Survey previously estimated reserves of hydrocarbons in the Levantine Basin at 3.45 trillion cubic metres of gas and 1.7 billion barrels of oil. According to other data, the potential of the region…

Russia’s Rivalry with the West Is Clearly Visible in Libya Oleksiy Volovych Despite all the adventurous attempts by the Kremlin to get a foothold in Libya and make that country “pro-Russian”, this will hardly happen in the foreseeable future, as the economic opportunities of the current Russia and its geopolitical weight are much weaker compared to the capabilities of the USSR. On the other hand, Libya is currently the object of geopolitical interests of such influential states as the US, France, Italy, the KSA, the OAE, Qatar and Turkey, with which Russia cannot compete due to its limited financial resources. The…
