“…A more promising perspective to explain the differences is different opportunity for domestication (Kamps, 2008): As Portugal, the Netherlands, or the South-East European countries played a minor role in international diplomatic efforts, and even the British government was focussing on domestic issues and not foreign policy, it was difficult in these countries to link the Ukraine crisis to their own country. Apart from limited visibility of the topic, these newspapers featured little or no reporting on ‘their’ government’s politics but rather on international or EU politics, while Ukrainian and Russian newspapers especially focussed on Ukrainian or Russian politics respectively – a finding in line with other studies on the Ukraine conflict that found media from different countries to mirror their governments’ perspective on the conflict (Roman et al, 2017).…”

“…Several studies on the coverage of the conflict in Ukraine have been published recently that analyse the media’s role in this ongoing conflict with tremendous humanitarian suffering. 1 Mejias and Vokuev (2017), Ojala et al (2016), Pantti (2016), Roman et al (2017) and Watanabe (2017) focus on the ‘information war’ between Ukraine, Russia and the United States as well as the ‘conflict propaganda’ of Anglo-Saxon mainstream media (Boyd-Barrett, 2017a, 2017b) and conclude that Anglo-Saxon, Russian and Ukrainian media in particular are heavily influenced by their national governments’ geopolitical interests. Studies that analyse the perception of the conflict in European countries are scarcer and have concentrated on only a few nations (for an overview, see Pantti, 2016).…”

The Ukraine conflict and the European media: A comparative study of newspapers in 13 European countries

et al. 2018

The crisis in Ukraine was one of the dominant topics in international news coverage of 2014 and the following years. Representing a conflict along the lines of an East-Western confrontation unprecedented since the end of the Cold War, the news reporting in different European countries with different historical backgrounds is an essential research topic. This article presents findings of a content analysis examining coverage of the conflict in the first half of 2014 in newspapers from a diverse set of 13 countries: Albania, Czech Republic, Germany, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as Ukraine and Russia. Drawing on prior literature on news values, key events, and news cycles in foreign coverage, this study maps the evolution of the conflict in the course of four key events and identifies specific characteristics of the coverage in different newspapers. The results show that attention for the conflict varies considerably across the countries, which might be traced back to different degrees of geographical and cultural proximity, domestication, and economic exchange, as well as lack of editorial resources especially in Eastern Europe. Russia dominated the news agenda in all newspapers under study with a constant stream of conflict news. Contradicting prior literature, media sought to contextualise the events, and meta-coverage of the media’s role in the crisis emerged as a relevant topic in many countries with a developed media system.

“…Ukraine also belongs to such countries, whose demand for crude oil is almost fully provided by its imports [14], as well as volumes of import of natural gas are significant [15,16]. In addition, the economic situation in Ukraine is substantially complicated because of the military-political conflict, which began in 2014 and continues to this day [17,18]. As a result of the conflict, the Ukrainian government temporarily lost control over the territories where coal-mining enterprises were located and they produced more than a third of the country's total volume of coal.…”

Evaluation of the Adaptability of the Ukrainian Economy to Changes in Prices for Energy Carriers and to Energy Market Risks

et al. 2018

The methodological framework for assessing adaptability of the economy to changes in energy prices and risks to energy markets was developed. The study proposes indicators for assessing the level of adaptability of the economic sectors to changes in prices for energy carriers and to risks of energy markets. The model of decomposition of adaptability level of the economy sectors to changes in energy prices has been developed. The theoretical and empirical analysis of the influence of energy prices on adaptability level of enterprises and households is carried out. Based on the empirical analysis, it was found that adaptability level of the sectors of Ukrainian economy significantly differs both in the years of the investigated period and in sectors of the economy. At the same time, most indicators of the level of adaptability vary from 0.4 to 0.7. Consequently, the actual decline in the profit of enterprises was 40–70% lower than the potentially possible decrease in the profit of these enterprises due to the prices rising for energy carriers. Moreover sectors which are less vulnerable to the growth of prices show higher adaptability level.The possibility of using the obtained results in developing a state energy saving strategy is substantiated.

After the Revolution of Dignity, the world scholars pay much attention to Ukrainian media and communications system. However, Ukrainian media researchers have relatively few publications in the world scientific journals. Therefore, the study is aimed to overview the domestic media by the eyes of Western scholars who are studying this topic and are looking for previous publications. In this way, we will be able to acquaint Ukrainian scientists with the articles published in scientific journals, which have been appeared since the beginning of 2014 with Ukrainian traditional and social media as a subject of research. The automated search was conducted based on the New York University articles and publications database, which includes all journals indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, as well as other prominent scientific journals. As a result, 35 such publications were found. This review was carried out using the content analysis and author’s methodology for the PR-messages analysis. It was defined that Ukrainian research material is interesting for the Western media scientists as well as for the scientific journals reviewed in the world’s scientometric bases. Unique social phenomena – the “horizontal” revolution, more or less successful resistance to Russian aggression, the new traditions of activism – make this experience valuable for the researchers of communication science, sociology, political science, philology, gender studies, etc. At the same time, Russian scientists are also paying a great attention to Ukrainian research material. This attention often leads to the publishing of the articles containing the “Russian strategic narrative” in Western scientific journals. These articles describe the national media, political and social realities in such a way that the reader get a false vision of the situation. The indicators of this narrative were found in 5 out of 35 publications. Ukrainian scholars can completely set right this situation by submitting more articles dedicated to current scientific issues to leading journals. But for this purpose, it is desirable to expand the range of methods used to study the Ukrainian media environment.
