Ukraine - 1 Country Profile

Generic Information


Territory
Ukraine, nestled in Eastern Europe, is the continent's second-largest country after Russia, with a total land area of about 603,500 square kilometres. Historically significant and politically pivotal, it shares its borders with seven countries: Russia to the east and northeast, Belarus to the north, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to the west, and Romania and Moldova to the southwest. Additionally, it has a considerable stretch of coastline to the south, where it meets the Black Sea and the smaller Sea of Azov.


Geography

Ukraine's geography is diverse, playing a crucial role in its historical development, culture, and economy. The landscape can be roughly divided into three main zones: forest belts, forest-steppe, and steppe.

  1. Forest Belts: Dominating the northern and north-western parts, this region, primarily consisting of mixed and coniferous trees, witnesses the flow of major rivers like the Desna and the Pripyat. The terrain is often marshy, especially in the Polesia area, which sprawls across the northern borders.
  2. Forest-Steppe: Transitioning southwards, the forest-steppe zone is a blend of woodland and grassy plains, with rivers such as the Dnieper, one of the longest in Europe, flowing through. This region has historically been the agricultural heartland of the country due to its fertile black soils or "chernozem". Major cities like Kyiv, the capital, and Kharkiv are located here.
  3. Steppe: Further south, the landscape opens into vast plains or steppe. Although once entirely grassland, much of this region is now cultivated. It stretches to the Black Sea coast, with significant ports like Odesa. The Crimean Peninsula, though internationally recognized as part of Ukraine, has been a contentious region and was annexed by Russia in 2014.

The country also boasts of the Carpathian Mountains to the west, providing a scenic backdrop and a haven for nature enthusiasts. To the south, the Black Sea coastline attracts tourists with its picturesque landscapes and sandy beaches.

Population: As of 2022, Ukraine's population hovers around 41 million.

Largest Cities:

  • Kyiv: The capital city and the political, cultural, and economic centre of Ukraine.
  • Kharkiv: Located in the north-east, it's a major industrial, educational, and cultural hub.
  • Odesa: A port city on the Black Sea, known for its maritime heritage, beaches, and architectural landmarks.
  • Dnipro: Located in the central part of the country, it's an important industrial and business centre.
  • Lviv: Nestled in the west, close to the border with Poland, Lviv is known for its historic architecture and rich cultural scene.

Administrative Division: Ukraine is administratively divided into 24 provinces, known as oblasts. In addition, there are two cities with special status: Kyiv, the capital, and Sevastopol, located on the Crimean Peninsula. The Crimean Peninsula itself, recognized internationally as part of Ukraine, became an area of contention after its annexation by Russia in 2014. Each oblast is further divided into districts, cities, and villages, each having its local governing bodies.

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response

GOVERNMENT

The State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU) https://dsns.gov.ua/ is the central executive body responsible for the implementation of state policy in the area of civil protection, protection of population and territories from emergencies, prevention of emergencies, elimination of emergencies, rescue, firefighting, fire and labour safety, rescue and emergency service management, and hydro-meteorological activity.

The SESU operates in a government-controlled area and is mainly focused on dealing with disasters of technogenic natural, social, and military nature.

For more information on government contact details, please see the following link: 4.1 Government Contact List.

 

HUMANITARIAN COMMUNITY

During the war, the number of humanitarian organizations in Ukraine has increased more than 5 times. Currently, there are more than 700 humanitarian organizations, including both international agencies and local non-governmental organizations/charitable foundations. For more than half of humanitarian operators, the main activity remains food assistance and the provision of basic necessities and livelihoods. Since the beginning of the war, UN agencies and their partners have provided humanitarian assistance totalling more than $4 billion. A third of these funds were paid in the form of cash assistance. It was received by more than 5 million Ukrainians.[AA2] 

The Ministry for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories continues to actively cooperate with the humanitarian community in Ukraine. Joint projects of the Ministry are ongoing together with UNHCR Ukraine, UNICEF, WFP, IOM, ICRC, OCHA, and other international and local humanitarian operators.

Because of the ongoing fighting, humanitarian needs in Ukraine continue to increase, especially for people who remain in communities near the front line and on territories directly affected by active hostilities. The war has severely affected access to all basic services, such as housing, healthcare, or welfare.

As a result of the further escalation of hostilities in 2023, the number of people in need for humanitarian assistance increased drastically.

Humanitarian organizations continue to support people in Ukraine: at the end of June 2023, almost 7.3 million people received the necessary assistance and social and legal protection services. However, only 4% who received assistance live in areas under the temporary control of the Russian Federation, access to which remains extremely limited and, in many cases, impossible.

In addition to security issues and other obstacles, the work of humanitarian workers is also complicated by a lack of funding from the State budget which is heavily oriented at war-related expenses.

Ukraine - 1.2 Regulatory Departments & Quality Control

 

Quality Control

4.1 Ukraine Government Contact List

Constitution of Ukraine

With the proclamation of its independence on 24 August 1991, and the adoption of a constitution on 28 June 1996, Ukraine became a semi-presidential republic. However, in 2004, Member of Parliament introduced changes to the Constitution, which tipped the balance of power in favor of a parliamentary system. From 2004 to 2010, the legitimacy of the 2004 Constitutional amendments had official sanction, both with the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, and most major political parties. Despite this, on 30 September 2010, the Constitutional Court ruled that the amendments were null and void, forcing a return to the terms of the 1996 Constitution and again making Ukraine's political system more presidential.

President, parliament, and government

The President is elected by popular vote for a five-year term and is the formal head of state. Ukraine's legislative branch includes the 450-seat unicameral parliament, the Verkhovna Rada. The parliament is primarily responsible for the formation of the executive branch and the Cabinet of Ministers, headed by the Prime Minister. However, the President still retains the authority to nominate the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defense for parliamentary approval, as well as the power to appoint the Prosecutor General and the head of the Security Service.

Laws, acts of the parliament and the cabinet, presidential decrees, and acts of the Crimean parliament may be abrogated by the Constitutional Court, should they be found to violate the constitution. Other normative acts are subject to judicial review. The Supreme Court is the main body in the system of courts of general jurisdiction. Local self-government is officially guaranteed. Local councils and city mayors are popularly elected and exercise control over local budgets. The heads of regional and district administrations are appointed by the President following the proposals of the Prime Minister.

Ukraine has a large number of political parties, many of which have tiny memberships and are unknown to the general public. Small parties often join in multi-party coalitions (electoral blocs) to participate in parliamentary elections.

Courts and law enforcement

The courts enjoy legal, financial, and constitutional freedom guaranteed by Ukrainian law since 2002. Judges are largely well protected from dismissal (except in the instance of gross misconduct). Court justices are appointed by presidential decree for an initial period of five years, after which Ukraine's Supreme Council confirms their positions for life. Although there are still problems, the system is considered to have been much improved since Ukraine's independence in 1991. The Supreme Court is regarded as an independent and impartial body and has on several occasions ruled against the Ukrainian government. The World Justice Project ranks Ukraine 76 out of 140 countries surveyed in its annual Rule of Law Index.

 

Legal proceedings in Ukraine in civil, economic, administrative, and criminal cases are carried out in the state language. A professional judge must speak the state language. The parties involved in the case submit to the court written procedural documents and evidence outlined in the state language. Persons involved in the proceedings in court shall be provided with the right to perform oral procedural actions (to make statements, give testimonies and explanations, make petitions and complaints, ask questions, etc.) in their native language or in another language in which they speak, using the services of an interpreter in the manner prescribed by the procedural legislation.

Ukraine - 2 Logistics Infrastructure

Overview of the current situation:

The transportation logistics infrastructure in Ukraine is well-developed and organized, covering the four main shipment options – air, sea, surface, and rail. After the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022, transportation logistics has been limited mainly to road and rail. No commercial flights take place during the war and sea transportation is de facto blocked by the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. After July 16, 2023, Russian officials announced that no ships were allowed to enter or exit Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea. However, some vessels manage to navigate to and from the Ukrainian ports through the special humanitarian corridors arranged by the Ukrainian armed forces disregarding the ban imposed by Russia.

As of August of 2023, about 109 thousand square kilometres of Ukrainian territory are occupied by Russia and thus not accessible from Ukraine by any means of transport. Active hostilities take place along nearly 1500km of the front making nearby territories unreachable.

The war has damaged all types of Ukrainian logistics infrastructure disrupting the entire industries. For example, the destruction of the Kakhovka dam made river transport on the Dnipro River below the city of Zaporizhzhia impossible.

Road Infrastructure

Roads cover the entire country with a total length of 165,000 km, of which approximately 80% are roads with hard (asphalt) surfaces.

In 2022 the war led to the damage of over 25,000 km of the roads and destruction of over 330 bridges. As the war continues, more infrastructure objects are destroyed.

For many roads, the road surface condition is often below acceptable standard which reduces the speed of the traffic and subsequently increases cargo transit time. Worth noting that unpaved roads, connecting remote village areas are mainly not paved and present potential challenges for access after excessive rains or snowfalls. It is expected that during the war the road infrastructure will continue deteriorating even though some road construction projects take place even during the war.

The very solid bases for government-private transport contracting are established, guaranteeing the access of the private sector to the transportation business, thus, ensuring competitiveness in the market and relatively stabilized market prices.

Railway

Countrywide network (over 2000 stations in the country and geographical distribution between 6 regional branches – Lviv, Donetsk, Odesa, Pivdenna, Pivdenno-Zahidna and Prydniprovska). Large parts of the Donetsk and Prydniprovska railways are occupied and utilized by the Russians mainly for military logistics and the other regions are utilised by passenger traffic.

Ukraine still has a link between seaports and production areas through railways, however, this link is underutilized during the war due to the port blockade. 

During the war, railway logistics plays a crucial role in both military and civil logistics replacing sea and air transportation where it can.

Ukraine - 2.1 Port Assessment

Port and Waterways

Ukraine has 18 sea trade ports and 12 sea terminals on the coasts of the Black and Azov seas. All Ukrainian Sea ports are state-owned. 9 major ports of Ukraine are currently occupied by Russia (including all ports on the Azov Sea and ports in the Crimea):

  • Mariupol
  • Berdyansk
  • Genichesk
  • Skadovsk
  • Yevpatoriya
  • Sevastopol
  • Yalta
  • Feodosia
  • Kerch

 

The largest Ukrainian ports along the Black Sea coast – Chornomorsk, Odesa, Pivdennyi – are operational, but partly damaged. Ports along the Dnipro River – Kherson, Mykolaiv – are blocked by the Russian army and navy. As of September 2023, only a few vessels managed to penetrate the blockade.

Other partially operational ports are located along the Danube River: Izmail, Reni, Ust-Dunaisk. These ports – like all other Ukrainian ports – were attacked by Russian forces since the start of the war and sustained some damage. While they remain operational, these ports have only a fraction of the capacity of the larger ports in Ukraine and cannot compensate for the loss or blockade of other ports.

 

Pre-war capacity

 

The overall berthing space available across the 18 major seaports in Ukraine was more than 38 km, consisting of about 11 km for bulk and dry-bulk cargo; about 15 km for all types of general cargo; 4.5 km for passenger operations; 1.5 km for liquid cargo; and 4 km for auxiliary functions. These 18 ports were equipped with over 600 gantry cranes, approximately 1,500 forklift trucks of various types, and over 400 other units of port machinery. The ports have more than 500,000 m2 of covered warehousing and more than 2.5 million m2 of open storage/yard space. 

 

The busiest of these sea trade ports were – and still are – Chornomorsk, Odesa and Pivdennyi: about 60% of all goods turnover is managed through these main ports, offering the best sea approach ways and accommodating large vessels with draft ranging from 11.5 m to about 14 m.

 

The major container terminals were – and still are – Odessa and Chornomorsk ports. 

 

There are other types of ports located in the largest Ukrainian rivers of Dnepr and Pivdennyi, namely Mykolaiv, Kherson, and Olivia ports that used to operate for bulk and general cargo. 

 

On the coast of the Crimean Peninsula, the ports of Sevastopol, Yalta, Feodosiysky, and Kerch are located. These ports were intended for the service and transportation needs of Crimea. 

 

On the northern coast of the Sea of Azov, Berdyansk and Mariupol Sea Trade Ports are located, with proximity to the most industrially developed regions of Ukraine – Donbas and Prydniprovya. The ports were mainly used for the export of metal and other production of these regions. 

 

Ukraine has also 3 sea trade ports in the lower reaches of Dunai – Izmail, Reni and Ust-Dunaysky, serving mainly the needs of countries along the Dunabe.

 

Ukraine has 10 river ports, the majority of which are privately owned. There are several rivers suitable for navigation in Ukraine, such as Dnipro, Dunai, Southern Bug, and Dniester.

The main river of Ukraine and the main internal waterway is Dnipro, which runs in the middle of the country from North to South and provides access to the largest seaports of Ukraine. Due to the draw- bridges on the Dnipro River, there are limitations for river navigation: in Dnipro city and Kremenchuk, the height of fairway arches is 8.5 and 9.6 m respectively. The height of the fairway arches of the Kherson bridge is 17.2 meters. The allowed draft of vessels on Dnipro is 3.65m and limited to 3m in the upper part of the river. The draft of the Kyiv reservoir is limited to 2.65m.

 

Most recent events

 

On 06 June 2023, the Kakhovka dam was destroyed, making river transport downstream from Zaporizhzhia impossible. This stretch of the Dnipro River was the busiest in terms of vessel traffic. Restoration of river traffic there is expected to take years.

Ukraine - 2.1.2 Port of Ilichevsk (Chornomorsk)

 

Port Overview

Situated on the NW shore of the Black Sea, approximately 25km SW from Odesa City. The port is open all year round. Icebreaker assistance is occasionally required in severe winters.

Leading Lights of the Sukhoy Liman should be followed when proceeding to port. A traffic separation scheme is in operation for the vessels approaching from the SE, and is indicated on the charts.

There is a traffic roundabout where the onward route to Odessa branches NNW. The approach channel is 1200 m long, 140 m wide, and 13.5 meters deep. Speed is limited to 6 knots. The draught of inbound vessels must not exceed 11.5 meters.

Largest Vessel: Max permissible length is 280 m, max d 11.8 m.

 

During the war the port Chornomorsk was one of the key participants of the grain initiative that enabled sea grain export from Ukraine. However, starting from 17 July 2023, the initiative was terminated by Russia and the port became de facto blocked with no vessels arriving or departing. In July 2023 the port was attacked by multiple Russian rockets. On 19 July 2023 over 60 thousand tons of grain was destroyed in the port because of the Russian rocket attack. The degree of port infrastructure destruction is not disclosed.

Key airport information is available at: World Aero Data Website

Ukraine inherited a significant aircraft manufacturing industry from the USSR, with the Antonov aircraft plant and related factories as its main component. Ukrainian and EU aerospace industries have a major interest in increasing their cooperation. The envisaged agreement could create a new framework for industrial aviation relations between the Ukraine and the EU which could accompany the restructuring and modernisation of the Ukrainian aerospace industry.

 

Ukrainian civil aviation was completely halted after the full-scale Russian invasion on February 24, 2022. No commercial flights have taken place since then. Although there are plans to resume at least some flights from the Lviv airport even during the war, it is unclear if these plans can be realized. Airports and airfields have been a major targets of the Russian missile and rocket attacks from day 1 of the full-scale invasion. Civil aviation infrastructure has been seriously damaged, but the scale of damage is not made public. The following chapters reflect the pre-war 2022 snapshot of the Ukrainian aviation industry. It is obvious that the war changed the landscape of Ukrainian aviation, and the post-war industry will look differently both in terms of airlines and airports.

 

Kyiv-Boryspil (KBP) was the largest Ukrainian airport servicing close to 60% of the country's commercial air traffic. Over 9.4 million passengers flew through Boryspil in 2021, which was a 62% growth over the COVID-impacted 2020. There were 45 operating civil airports (including heliports) in Ukraine. Out of them, 14 airports received domestic flights from Kyiv the capital of Ukraine on a regular basis. 14 airports have been assigned international status:

  • Boryspil (Kyiv) (damaged)
  • Dnipro (destroyed)
  • Zaporizhzhia (destroyed)
  • Ivano-Frankivsk (destroyed)
  • Kyiv (Zhulyzny) (damaged)
  • Kryvyi Rih (damaged)
  • Lviv
  • Mykolaiv (destroyed)
  • Odesa (damaged)
  • Rivne (damaged)
  • Uzhhorod
  • Kharkiv (destroyed)
  • Vinnytsya (damaged)
  • Chernivtsi

The following airports covered were capable of handling wide-body passenger aircraft and heavy freighters:

 

Kyiv (Boryspil Airport) was considered as the main international air hub of the country with all related services and facilities available for offloading, handling, storing and clearing of the humanitarian cargoes. The airport has a large storage capacity, and transportation means and can be easily accessed from the capital for any follow-up work with freight documentation, diplomatic clearances, etc. Close to the Boryspil airport there are other commercial facilities available, including those of DHL, Medical Enterprise “Ukr Vaktsina” with cold storage for medicines, storage facilities and freight transit centre of Raben Ukraine among others.

 

The following airports can be considered for delivery of humanitarian cargo:

Air Carriers

Currently, due to the war, no air carriers can operate in Ukraine. The fleet of airliners used by the carriers are either locked in the Ukrainian airports or returned to the leasers abroad. It is not clear if the Ukrainian air carriers are able to resume their operations after the war. Some of the air carriers managed to operate in foreign aviation markets (e.g. SkyUp operates in the EU), but most of them are in a hibernate state with uncertain future.

 

All air carriers listed in the table below are duly registered by the Civil Aviation Authorities of Ukraine for provision of the air transportation services on domestic and international routes.

Ukraine - 2.3 Road Network

Overview

Ukraine’s advantageous geographical position makes it a hub for the transit of goods and passengers between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. International transport corridors passing through Ukraine reach a total length of over 5 thousand km.

Before the Russian invasion in 2022, the share of road transport in total cargo transportation was over 75% followed by rail with less than 19% (measured by tonnes transported). Passenger road transportation in 2021 was estimated at over 1500 million passengers, which is substantially higher than any other means of transportation (for comparison, rail transport is estimated at 81 million passengers).  

Today the country’s transportation infrastructure includes approximately 169,000 km of highways (165,000 km of which are roads with hard surfaces) covering the entire territory of the country. International roads account for about 5% of all roads in Ukraine. Smaller regional roads tend to have substantially worse pavement conditions with numerous potholes and other defects.

For many years road infrastructure was deteriorating. In 2019 more than 90% of roads in Ukraine were considered unfit for safe usage. In the following two years the road infrastructure renovation effort called “Large construction” started to actively renovate the roads with about 14 thousand km of roads built or restored in 2020 and 2021. After the start of the  invasion of the Russian troops in February of 2022 over 25,000 km of roads were destroyed due to hostilities (9,000 km of which are national highways). Over 340 road infrastructure objects such as bridges were destroyed and only 76 of them have been restored. Conditions of the roads that were not directly affected by the hostilities are also deteriorating due to a lack of adequate maintenance and increased pavement wear caused by the transportation of heavy military equipment.

It is expected that road construction and renovation efforts will be resumed after the war as adequate road infrastructure is pivotal for economic development.

The international transport corridors that pass through Ukraine include:

  • Pan-European Transport Corridor III, with the route Berlin – Wroclaw– Lviv – Kyiv and a length of 1640 km, from which 694 km are railways and 611 km are highways across Ukraine
  • Pan-European Transport Corridor V, which links Trieste and Lviv via Ljubljana, Budapest and Uzhhorod with a total length of 1595 km, from which 266 km of highways and 338.7 km of railways pass through Ukraine.
  • Pan European Transport Corridor IX, with a total length of 3400 km and a route passing through Helsinki – St. Petersburg – Vitebsk – Kyiv – Odesa – Plovdiv – Bucharest – Alexandroupolis. In Ukraine, Pan European Transport Corridor IX consists of 1496 km of railways and 996 km of highways.
  • Gdansk – Odesa International Transport Corridor, with a length of 1816 km and passing through Poland and Ukraine. In Ukraine, this international transport corridor consists of 918 km of railways and 1208 km of highways.

During the war transit through these transport corridors is impossible, but it is expected to restore after the end of the war.

Ukraine - 2.4 Railway Assessment

Railway Assessment

Ukrainian Railways is the state railway network operator in Ukraine, a monopoly that controls the railroad transportation in the country with a combined total length of track of over 24,000 km.

Key information is available at: http://uz.gov.ua/en/

Before the invasion in 2022, annual passenger flow was about 150 million (out of which 20 million were long-distance trips), and cargo flow was over 300 million tonnes.

In 2022 cargo flow decreased by over 52% to 150 million tonnes. In 2022 there were 16.9 million long-distance passenger trips. Another 4 million passengers were evacuated. About 2 million passengers crossed the EU border.

Due to the war, the part of the railway network occupied by the Russian forces is currently disconnected from the Ukrainian railway system.

 

 

 

Ukraine - 2.5 Waterways Assessment

Waterways Assessment

Ukraine has high potential navigable rivers - over 4,000 km: there are traditional waterways of the Dnipro river - 1,205 km and its tributaries (Desna- 520 km, Pripyat - 60 km) and Danube - 160 km, Southern Bug - 155 km, and other so-called small rivers.

The Dnipro River and its major tributaries Desna and Pripyat carried out to 90% of total transport. The remaining 10% are the Danube and other rivers (Desna, Dniester, Southern Bug, Seversky Donets, Ingulets, Vorskla, etc.).

Since Ukraine gained independence in 1991 until the invasion of the Russian army in 2022, the length of river waterways decreased almost two-fold (from 4,000 km to 2,100 km). At the same time, the density of river shipping routes reduced by 1.75 times; the intensity of freight transport - by 4,3 times, and passenger transportation - by 7.5 times.

Source: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Location-of-the-Dnieper-Cascade-in-relation-to-the-International-Waterway-E40-1-Kiev_fig1_337908332)


After the beginning of the Russian invasion, water transport through the Dnipro River nearly stopped. The areas of the most active cargo traffic near the river mouse were either captured or located too close to the front line for any cargo operations. Also, cross-border water traffic between Ukraine and Belarus was stopped.

On 06 June 2023, the dam on the Dnipro River near Nova Kakhovka was fully destroyed leading to the shallowing of the large Kakhovka water reservoir and flooding of large territories down the river stream. The dam destruction had multiple long-term consequences for water logistics:

  • No shipping canal on the Dnipro downstream from the Zaporizhzhia dam including the connection to the Black Sea;
  • Destruction of major river port facilities in Kherson and Mykolaiv due to flooding.

As a result, it is hard to predict when full-scale water transportation on the Dnipro can resume even after the war ends. Taking into account the decline in cargo traffic even before the war (60 mln tonnes in 1990; 14 million tonnes in 2020), it is uncertain if the cargo traffic on Dnipro will resume.

At the same time, the blockade of the Black Sea ports of the Odesa region started by the Russian army on 22 July 2022, boosted demand for river transportation on the Danube. This alternative route can accommodate at least some of the Ukrainian exports even though its capacity is fairly limited compared to the seaports. The total capacity of the Ukrainian ports on the Danube is around 20 million tonnes. The new expansion projects may increase the capacity to 25 million tonnes by 2024. For comparison, the seaport Pivdenny can handle over 60 million tonnes of cargo per year.

Company Information

Only a few companies operate on rivers. During the war the water transport on Dnipro is de-facto stalled. The information below is relevant to the pre-war state of affairs. The landscape may change dramatically after the war due to changes in logistics strategy and/or damage to the infrastructure.

There is a private company "Ukrrichflot" http://ukrrichflot.ua/en/  which declares the presence of about 100 vessels of various types and their ports and other elements of the port infrastructure. The second important market player is agro corporation "NIBULON" http://www.nibulon.com/ . The company owns a private fleet and private river terminals. The logistics sector in terms of water transport included 81 vessels in 2021, 68 of which are now blocked in Ukrainian ports due to the war. Before the war, the company handled over 5.3 million tonnes of agricultural goods for exports.

Ukraine - 2.6 Storage Assessment

Storage Assessment

Professional contract warehouse companies with full services are available and operating abundantly throughout Ukraine in government-controlled areas. Prominent hubs for different types of storage are located near the major cities of Ukraine, such as Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, etc. Due to the proximity of the war front, storage capacities in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia are either destroyed or not used as much as before the war.

During Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a large share of Ukrainian storage capacities was destroyed. Thus, in Kyiv region over 20% of the storage infrastructure was destroyed in 2022 when the Russian troops were trying to encircle the city. However, most of the destroyed warehouses were restored in 2023, and some new storage facilities are being built despite the war. Overall, there is no lack of storage space in the government-controlled areas of Ukraine and prices for storage in dollar terms remained fairly stable throughout the war.

Any transportation or storage on the occupied Ukrainian territories is impossible during the war.

Commercial Storage

The commercial storage industry in Ukraine is modern, vast, and very well-developed.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations

Given the wide range and large quantity of developed and professional warehousing companies, most humanitarian agencies prefer to contract out to a private sector provider for warehouse including full services. UNHCR and ICRC are among the larger users of storage services.

Additional information about the storage capacity of humanitarian organisations is also available at: https://logie.logcluster.org/?op=ukr-22-a

Public Sector Storage

The State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESoU) has a branched network of hub storage which has been expanded and actively used during the war. These storages contain relief items for emergency response and the humanitarian community can contact SESoU for joint use of the space. Link: http://www.dsns.gov.ua/en/

Cold Chain

The cold chain storage in Ukraine is widely represented by commercial storage companies and is modern, vast, and well-developed.

Most cold chain storages are less than 1000 m2 but some companies have big spaces (e.g. Raben Ukraine – 4000 m2, 3 chambers, different temperature regimes from +2+4*C to +8+12*C).

 

 

Ukraine - 2.7 Milling Assessment

Milling Assessment

Since having outstanding fundamentals for grain cultivation, Ukraine has also been a grain processing country. Today it has an enormous, well-developed, and up-to-date system for milling.

The war, however, has created sizable challenges to Ukrainian milling. The Russians are specifically targeting elevators and grain storage facilities throughout Ukraine. The attacks have destroyed hundreds of thousands of tonnes of grains in Ukraine along with the grain storage and transportation infrastructure. Moreover, due to many war-related factors, the quality of Ukrainian wheat is declining. In 2023 a significant share of the harvested wheat will be of sub-standard quality and, therefore, the grade of the final milling product will remain low, which will lead to a decrease in the final price of the product. Lastly, due to the partial blockade of the seaports on the Black Sea, there is a minimal possibility to export Ukrainian wheat or flour. In case farmers are unable to sell their harvest in 2023, they will not be able to sow in 2024 creating a threat to the entire industry. However, under moderately optimistic scenarios the export will continue in smaller volume and the industry in general survives the crisis.

Ukraine mills, processes, and exports millions of MT of various foods per year. The majority of mills are privately owned, though some are still state-owned and incorporated in the State food reserve. The overwhelming majority of Ukrainian mills are powerful following a tradition of Soviet industry to create large enterprises, but small milling entities producing high-quality grindings are also emerging.

A basic group of commodities comprises the following variety of groats: wheat groats, yellow peas polished (whole, split), defatted corn grain, corn flour, millet polished, unground buckwheat, grain pearl-barley as well as pulses.

Milling Companies 

At the forefront of the milling landscape lies the Union "Millers of Ukraine". Its member list is hosted on its website. Also, Europages and List of Companies Worldwide are the information sources for that matter.

Ukraine - 3.1 Fuel

 

Fuel Overview

Before the full-scale Russian invasion in Ukraine in February 2022, most of Ukrainian fuel of all types came from Belarus and Russia. The highest dependence was in diesel fuel and LPG. After the beginning of the full-scale war, there was no fuel export from Russia and Belarus. Ukraine, as well as the European Union, have switched the origins of fuel from Russia and Belarus towards the EU (Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Bulgaria, and Greece in particular), USA, and Gulf Countries (Kuwait and Saudi Arabia). Only 2 out of the 10-11 million tonnes of oil products consumed were sourced from a few domestic refineries before the invasion (mostly Kremenchuk and Lysychansk plants), which processed domestically extracted oil from the western and north-eastern regions of the country.

During the war the fuel production and storage infrastructure has been the primary target of attacks and sustained very serious damage. This caused the fuel crunch in April-July 2022. Fuel rations for all users were established, taxes on fuel were lifted and the informal fuel market sprung up to circumvent the rations as well. By the time new fuel supply chains from partner nations with minimal storage use and different modes of transportation were established from the ground up, the shortage dissipated, the rations and tax exemptions were lifted (the latter - in July 2023).

Since then, despite the October 2022 - February 2023 rolling and emergency blackouts, no fuel shortages have occurred. Fuel nowadays is used both in transportation and emergency/independent power supply through generators, both by civilians and the military.

At the moment, till the end of martial law, the Ukrainian airspace is closed, hence no civilian jet fuel market exists as such. Beforehand, Turkey and Azerbaijan have been the primary suppliers of TC-1 and Jet A1 fuels. As well, local Ukrtatnafta company claims to have domestic production of the latter kind. Bulgaria and Romania  are proximate contenders for jet fuel exports as well.

Fuel Production

There were 7 large and 20-25 small refinery plants in Ukraine that could produce fuel before the war. Some of them are still operating during the war, but their output is not revealed.

The Kremenchuk, Lysychansk and Shebelynka plants were capable of producing Euro-4 or Euro-5 grade fuel. The rest of the plants required deconservation and modernization from Euro-2 or Euro-3 standards. Only two plants (OPK “Halychyna” and PAT “Naftokhimik Prykarpattia”) are in relative safety from Russian cruise missile attacks and proximity to the EU nations’ borders.

The fuel industry of Ukraine (for illustrative purposes; coal visuals not useful and production figures are outdated)

The mini-oil-refineries are predominantly located closest to the Kremenchuk oil refinery, Prydniprovia industrial region and Kharkiv as its dedicated industrial center. They usually produce a few tonnes of fuel per day. Mini-refineries’ legality and product quality are claimed to be questionable.

Fuel Transportation

All large fuel refineries are connected through the oil pipelines (most notably - “Druzhba” and Odesa-Brody). Outside connection therethrough is available towards Hungary (Belarus and Russia are omitted). According to the International Energy Charter: “The total capacity of the oil transmission system at the "entry" points was 114 mln tons/year at the "exit" points - 56.3 mln tons/year in 2021.” The pipelines were left unscathed and even subject to sanction circumvention against Russia by Hungary. As of September 2023 the oil transit from Russia through the Druzhba pipeline still takes place.  Sea access to the pipelines is available from Odesa, but for now it’s endangered by the Russian seaport blockade.

Road and rail transport have become prevalent deliverers of fuel in Ukraine since the Summer-22 fuel shortages. Those connect up smaller and more distant fuel storage facilities and mini-refineries to the fuel supply network as well.

The State Transportation Safety Service of Ukraine regulates the fuel delivery market through licensing the carriers based on compliance with technical safety requirements. It also hosts a registry of licence owners (though the full extent of data is available only pre-war; actual data is only on rail transport).

Fuel Storage

International Energy Charter: “The total capacity of the tank park was 1,083 thousand

cubic meters.” That was even enough for the Ukrainian government to suggest providing storage services to the world in times of overproduction early during the pandemic. Over the course of the conflict much of the storage capacity has been destroyed, some new facilities may have been built. Information on intact sites is confidential for operational security purposes.

Natural gas storage can be purchased from UkrTransGas company.

Fuel Distribution

There are 37 mainstream fuel distributors and innumerous smaller sellers. Fuel distribution in Ukraine is done through vehicular delivery from storage facilities to the fuel pump discharging it directly into the vehicles. However, during the fuel shortage or great distance from the pump canister carrying and open-air fill-ups were common. Also, during the fuel shortage, 5-100L rations were applied to all civilian traffic to a varying extent at the pumps; law enforcement, military, and critical infrastructure vehicles were exempt from such limitations.

Fuel Intelligence

The prominent sources for information on oil processing and supply chains nowadays are, among others:

Seasonal Variations

Agricultural (sowing most of the crops in Spring and harvesting them in Autumn), warfare (active campaigns in Summer and Winter and stalemates during impassability of local roads in Spring and Autumn) and climate cycles (use of generators as emergency power supplies both in Summer heat and Winter colds) can cause fluctuations in fuel prices.

Seasonal Variations

Are there national priorities in the availability of fuel? (i.e. are there restrictions or priorities for the provision of fuel such as to the military?)

Yes in case of shortages during the war

Is there a rationing system?

Yes in case of shortages during the war

Is fuel to lower income / vulnerable groups subsidised?

No

Can the local industry expand fuel supply to meet humanitarian needs?

Unknown

Is it possible for a humanitarian organisation to directly contract a reputable supplier / distributor to provide its fuel needs?

Yes

Quality Control and Assurance

Fuel quality in Ukraine is regulated by National Standards of Ukraine (ДСТУ) 7687:2015 (for benzine), 7688:2015 (for diesel fuel), EN 589:2017 (for automotive petroleum gas) and 4796:2007 (for Jet-A1 aviation fuel). The National Ecological Inspection of Ukraine was tasked to perform fuel quality control checks, but till the end of martial law they were seized by the decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. Fuel quality may be inferior when purchasing it from mini-refineries. There may be drastic price changes (such as the return of excise and VAT on fuel) or sporadic accidents even by major fuel distributors.

Ukraine - 3.2 Manual Labour

Manual Labour Overview

Ukraine has been subject to demographic stagnation pretty much ever since gaining independence in 1991. A decline in fertility rates through the tumultuous 1990s, the traumaticity of workplaces and brain drain are the main causes for this process. The Russo-Ukrainian war, both in 2014-2015 and in 2022-now has further exacerbated the demographic situation by forcing a large proportion of the productive population to leave home and move to other parts of Ukraine or abroad.

Before the Russian invasion, there were 41 million people living in Ukraine. It is estimated that as of August 2023 over 8 million Ukrainians were abroad, mostly in the EU states. Most of the people who left the country are work-age women and children. According to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, 46.36% of the population are males and 53.64% are females. Even before the Russian invasion, it has been challenging to obtain a young workforce (16-25), somewhat easier - nearing retirement (45-55).

Immigration into Ukraine before the war was minimal and usually temporary - for education purposes, it originates from the Middle East, Sahel and Subsaharan Africa. During the war immigration into Ukraine stopped.

In addition to migration from Ukraine, mobilisation to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the factor contributing to labour shortages. To this end, all males aged 18-60 are barred from exiting the country. Temporary exemptions are present for some categories, such as cross-border humanitarian logistical operations (especially for expeditors towards Europe).

Ukraine - 3.3 Telecommunications

Telecommunications

Before the war, uttermost Ukrainians had a mobile phone and a cellular network connection: as of the end of 2021, there were 1.36 SIM cards per person with the greatest concentration in the Odesa region and in Kyiv city (2-2.1 SIM cards per person). Over 70% Ukrainians had mobile phones, with the highest penetration thereof being amongst young adults. The trend is reflected through the phasing out of the fixed telephone lines throughout Ukraine. Internet access is available both in cities and smaller settlements; the coverage in areas between cities may be limited outside the major roads.

All types of communication networks throughout Ukraine are well developed and modernised. Though they may be vulnerable to power outages, especially during drone and missile strikes: prolonged lack of electricity disables connectivity in the affected areas until power is restored. Telecommunication providers are working to autonomise the energy supply to their networks with variable success: generators or batteries are installed to network nodes to prolong their longevity once the power is out.

All kinds of communication near the front line are very limited due to infrastructure destruction and electronic warfare.

Ukrtelecom is the national telecommunications operator. Ukrtelecom covers 78% of fixed-line local telephone.

Existing Humanitarian Telecoms Systems

The Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) was activated in Ukraine on 03 March 2022, and is deploying cyber security solutions and VSATs to provide secure networks and back-up connectivity to humanitarians, while was also working to obtain approvals for the setup of VHF radio security communications.

In December 2022, Ukrainian government/NCEC approved the VHF (Radio Frequency Spectrum) to use security communication network in humanitarian crises areas.

Upon approval of frequency licenses, ETC has setup the VHF radio network for day-to-day operation. As of today, the 5 major cities and oblasts of Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro, Odesa and Kharkiv are fully covered by VHF radio network.

ETC has identified and conducted surveys in over 25 sites to extend and setup VHF repeaters network to support humanitarian actors in the field and especially front-line areas.

Apart of fixed repeater network, at the frontline areas, Remote Site on Vehicle (RSOV, a mobile VHF network with StarLink internet solution) has been installed for day-to-day operation,

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

Ukrtelecom is the largest Internet access provider (as well as a fixed telephone provider). In particular, it was serving over 1.1 million fixed-access clients and 661,000 internet clients as of December 2022. The second-largest - Kyivstar - (on par with Vodafone Ukraine) is the largest mobile phone and internet operator offering fixed broadband access. Volia as well is a major player specialising in cable access combined with the TV signal.

 

Since the crisis, StarLink services are available across the country. 

Some Ukrainian operators still manage to provide services across the frontline into the recently occupied territories, but they are likely to be quickly substituted by Russian-affiliated ISPs (e.g. IVK-Donbass). Starlink has proven itself to be a reliable internet connection provider with secure data flows and portable receivers. Its popularity in Ukraine is steadily growing.

Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)

Ukraine has a triopoly in cellular network operations: Kyivstar, Vodafone (formerly  MTS), and Lifecell. LycaMobile also entered the market, but its client base is tiny compared to the top 3.

Mobile connectivity nowadays consists of a 4G internet network with supplementarily of 3- and 2G in distant localities.

On the occupied territories multiple mobile operators provide connectivity services, namely MTS, MKS for the Luhansk region, Phoenix for the Donetsk region, KrymTelekom for the Crimea, MirTelekom and 7+Mobile for the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions.
