Abstract

The establishment and activities of the Joint Center for Control and Coor- dination (JCCC) for ceasefire and adjustment of the separation line have not been described andanalyzedin the scientific literature. This body was created according to the decision of the tripartite contact group with the purpose of ceasefire, adherence to the security regime in the conflict zone, preventing the resumption of combats. There are control points and monitoring groups within the JCCC along the col- lision line for urgent resolution of the tasks assigned to the Joint Center. Information on ceasefireviolations and otherbreachesfrom the side ofthe Rus- sian occupation forces and supported by themillegal armed groups, as well as violations from the Ukrainian side, reaches the Special Monitoring Mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (SMM of the OSCE). This bodyverifies provided information and publishes reports on the performedwork on its web–site in in English, Ukrainian and Russian. In this way, the information is communicated to the public not only of our country, but to the whole World. The unilateral withdrawal of the Russian Federation from the JCCC was per- ceived negatively in the World. Ukraine and the European Union call the Russian Federation to return its military personnel to work within this format. The repre- sentatives of illegal armed groups in the occupied territories, who unjustifiably and by their own decision assumed the powers of the JCCC, do not have such pow- ers. At the same time this is a gross attempt to legitimize both illegal pseudo–state entities and the Russian military presence in the territory of Ukraine. At the same time,the JCCC operates only in Ukraine–controlled territory, in non–controlled areas activities of the SMM of OSCE face counteracting.
