Procedure for Election and Recall the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine

The constitutional and legal basis of the election and recall of the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine have been analyzed, the essence and peculiarities of their procedure and grounds were determined, as well as the priority directions for improving these key elements of the constitutional and legal status of the Chairman of the Parliament were substantiated. It was established that the procedure for electing and recalling the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is one of the core elements of his constitutional and legal status, which is designed to ensure the effectiveness, impartiality and stability of this institution, democratic management of the parliament and parliament`s control the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. The existing procedure for electing and recalling the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is characterized by its constitutional non-regulation, fragmentation and inconsistency of legislative regulation. It has substantiated that the priority of improving the procedure for electing and recalling the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and his deputies should be the constitutional consolidation of the method and other features of their election, principles and grounds for recall them from office. Other measures should be: raising the level of political culture and responsibility of the deputy corps when electing and recalling leadership of the parliament, using the secret voting procedure; formation a custom regarding election of a person who meets the requirements for the post of head of state, has high authority and moral-business qualities as the Chairman of the Parliament. It’s also advisable to: guaranteeing the parliamentary minority the position of Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine; attributing non-fulfillment of the activity program of the Speaker of the Parliament to the grounds for his removal from office. Finally, it will be appropriate: regulation of the procedure and consequences of early termination of powers of the Chairman of the Parliament during his temporary execution the duties of the President of Ukraine; in such a case, assigning the execution of the duties of the head of state to the First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

Structural and substantive reatures of defense codes of foreign countries

The article is intended for the study of the issue of systematization of the laws in the field of defense through its codification. It was found that codification is recognized as the highest level and the most perfect type of systematization of the laws, as a result of which a large number of separate legal acts are replaced by one single, consolidated, updated codified legal act.
 The relevance of the problem is substantiated by the presence of a state task defined by the Decree of the President of Ukraine dated November 8, 2019 No. 837 "On urgent measures to carry out reforms and strengthen the state", regarding the need to implement measures to codify the laws in the field of defense.
 In order to carry out a complete and thorough study, a comparative and legal review of codified legislative acts in the field of defense of five leading democratic countries of the world: Australia, Canada, Poland, the USA, and France was carried out. Special attention is paid to the structures of defense codes, to the study of the content of their main constituent elements and to the comparison of these constituents, with the aim of identifying similar subjects of regulation, as well as identifying differences.
 In the course of the study, it was found that the defense codes of foreign countries have very diverse structures, and also regulate a fairly wide range of issues, both general and specific (for each country). All codes are based on the basic aspects on which the defense policy of every state is formed, and therefore, logically, they can become the basis for building the structure of the defense code of Ukraine.
 As a conclusion, it is stated that the result of a complex and high-quality systematization of the laws in the field of defense can be the Defense Code of Ukraine - a unique, innovative and reforming act that will unite all issues related to the preparation of the state for defense and its direct implementation.

National identity revisited

Abstract National Identity is a discursively constructed complex entity which can reshape an image of a nation. Even one person powerful enough to be a representative of the whole nation can promote a collective sense of nationality/patriotism and sovereignty of the country in line with social, historical, or most importantly, a versatile geopolitical context. The present study is an illustration of how lexical choices of a particular political figure – the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy – identified by specific corpus linguistic research tools in the discourse, defines and emphasizes a national integrity during the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Corpus-based Critical Discourse Analysis is applied to investigate how a prominent Ukrainian political figure – Volodymyr Zelenskyy discursively constructs national identity in the context of the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war. The research is based on the linguistic scrutiny of presidential video addresses, which are stored at the official presidential website and transcribed in English.

When the Going Gets Tough, Leaders Use Metaphors and Storytelling: A Qualitative and Quantitative Study on Communication in the Context of COVID-19 and Ukraine Crises

Metaphors and storytelling are important communication tools that play a significant role in leadership and organizational life. Leaders have used metaphors and storytelling to enhance their written and verbal communication from ancient times, since Aristotle, to the modern age. In the present research, we focus on the use of storytelling and metaphors by leaders in times of crisis. We perform a qualitative analysis of the public statements and addresses of the leaders of two different countries in the context of recent worldwide crises: The prime minister of Greece during the COVID-19 health crisis and the president of Ukraine during the outbreak of the conflict with Russia in 2022. Based on existing evidence, their effectiveness in convincing their subordinates and conveying their intended meaning either nationally or internationally during the aforementioned crises has been widely recognized. Our analysis reveals that both leaders have consistently utilized metaphors and storytelling in their efforts to be more convincing and empowering. We also find that the higher the intensity of the crisis, the more pronounced the use of metaphors and stories. We accordingly provide an analysis of the types and frequency of use of the aforementioned communication tools. Reflecting on our findings, we provide specific insight for practice by leaders, discuss theoretical implications, and suggest directions for future research.

Invasion of Ukraine: Frames and sentiments in Zelensky’s Twitter communication

ABSTRACT In a complex information environment, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine presents major challenges to the communication of the political leader of Ukraine. The objective of this article is to analyze the frames and sentiments used by the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, using a novel data set of his Twitter communication (N = 613) during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine between 24th of February 2022 and 24th of February 2023. The study answers two questions, (1) what the political leader of Ukraine actually talks about when he communicates during the invasion, and (2) how he talks about it. By using a combination of computational text analysis approaches, I analyze the social media framing and whether there is a framing shift during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and try to understand the role of social media in this process. The results of the study revealed the emotions expressed by Zelensky to be mostly positive and focused on dialogue, cooperations, and solidarity frames. This article shows a minor discourse shift during the Russian invasion of Ukraine and thus contributes to a better understanding of the political leader’s social media communication during the crisis.

Пам’яті видатного вченого-геодезиста – професора А. Л. Островського

The main directions and results of the activity of the famous talented scientist and teacher of the Lviv Geodetic School, professor A.L. Ostrovsky. On January 19, 2023, the Lviv geodetic community honored the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ostrovsky Apollinariy Lvovich – an outstanding scientist, professor, teacher known in Ukraine and abroad. Professor A. L. Ostrovsky published more than 200 scientific works, dozens of methodical developments in geodesy, topography; instrument science, he owns 11 copyright certificates and inventions. The birth of the Lviv School of Refraction is connected with the then professors of the Lviv Polytechnic Institute A. D. Motornyy and M. K. Mygal, and the first studies of the influence of atmospheric refraction on geodetic measurements were initiated by A. L. Ostrovsky To a large extent, the success in this work was brought about by the scientific activity of the employees of the branch research laboratory, which was managed by Apollinariy Lvovych in 1979–2006. This is how the Lviv Geodetic School of Refraction, known in the scientific world, was created. For many years, Prof. A. L. Ostrovsky headed the regional specialized Council for the defense of doctoral theses in geodesy, actively worked in the Educational and Methodological Council of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Ukraine, in the editorial boards of all scientific journals on geodesy and engineering geodesy published in Ukraine, and was the first editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Geodynamics. He was the scientific supervisor of almost 30 applicants who worked on candidate and doctoral theses. Among the pupils and students of Prof. A. L. Ostrovsky was an academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Ya.S. Yatskiv, more than ten leading geodesist professors, many heads of geodetic enterprises and institutions in Ukraine and abroad. The fruitful scientific, pedagogical and professional activity of Prof. A. L. Ostrovsky brought him well-deserved respect in the scientific world and geodetic production, and was awarded high titles – Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine, “Honorary Surveyor of the USSR”, “Honorary Surveyor of Ukraine”, awarded with the Order of Merit III degree, and many honorary awards and medals. Professor A. L. Ostrovsky was a scholarship recipient of the President of Ukraine. Evidence of the unparalleled authority and deep respect on the part of the scientific geodetic community for A.L. Ostrovsky is the fact that he was elected as the head and honorary chairman of the organizing committee of the International Scientific and Technical Symposium “Geodetic Environmental Monitoring: GPS and GIS Technologies”, which has been held annually for many years worked in Alushta (Crimea).

FEATURES OF THE FORMATION OF LOGISTICS EXPENSES OF ENTERPRISES UNDER MILITARY CONDITIONS

The peculiarities of the formation and functioning of logistics activities during the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine were studied.
 This article highlights the problems of logistics development in Ukraine during the martial law and the prospects for their solution. Considered the problems faced by the Ukrainian logistics business before the full-scale offensive of the Russian Federation. Logistics costs until February 24, 2022 and after were analyzed, relevant conclusions were drawn, namely the unprofitability of Ukrainian enterprises and their crisis situation.
 Attention was also paid to such issues as transportation by land transport and sea vessels - blockade of railways and ports. The consequences of increasing the coefficients of transportation tariffs are highlighted.
 Ukraine is one of the world leaders in the export of grain. But due to Russian aggression, the main logistics route for this product — the Black Sea — was blocked. The mentioned aid from Turkey and the creation of the "Grain Corridor", during which the export of Ukrainian grain became possible. The Grain From Ukraine initiative, which was successfully adopted and agreed upon by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, is a project called "Grain from Ukraine", which aims to provide more than five million people with grain by the end of spring 2023. The future of Ukrainian exports of agricultural products will largely depend on the continuation of the "grain agreement".
 The problems of Ukrainian ports and railways are identified, and alternative ways of moving transport are given. For cross-border transportation, transit routes with countries such as Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Slovakia, and Romania are used.
 The article also mentions business activities in the west, during which investment and fulfillment are increasing. Options for improving the efficiency of logistics supply chains are indicated. It is noted that the situation on the market, both domestic and foreign, changes almost every day, so this trend will continue in the future.
 If the situation with the availability of logistics does not improve, not only the Ukrainian agricultural sector will be at risk, but also the macroeconomic stability of the country, as well as global food security.

Unmuting leadership: the impact of Zelensky’s social media strategy at the inset of the Ukrainian War

Since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, President Zelensky has used his social networks to request international support. This research analyzes the audiovisual discourse of the hegemonic networks during the first 40 days of the humanitarian war crisis in the context of risk communication. The contribution of this research relates to the unveiling of a new era where social media platforms are no longer the underdog of traditional media. This paper analyzes the visual content of President Zelensky’s most followed social media profile, Instagram. This paper builds on previous work examining the political leaders of the most affected European countries during the first days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and how they enhanced the use of their social media profiles in order to communicate about the crisis. In contrast to the use of social media during the COVID-19 pandemic, the audiovisual narrative created by the president of Ukraine optimized the social network’s resources and achieved an impactful and authentic approach to leadership during the first 40 days of crisis.

Analysis of the modern functional field of effective implementation of public control in the system of public administration in Ukraine

AbstractThe relevance of this article lies in the fact that the study of the public administration system in Ukraine is an important issue. In modern Ukrainian society there is a clear demand for effective ways to involve the general public and create real mechanisms for implementing democratic principles of public administration through European integration processes. The aim of the study is to analyse the current functional field in the processes of public control in the public administration system of Ukraine. The following research methods were used: analysis and synthesis of information, comparative method, method of sociological research, as well as the method of induction. At the final stage of the study, an analysis of scientific sources on the research topic was carried out. According to the results of the study, it can be argued that the effectiveness of public control in Ukraine directly depends on the state of development of civil society and the level of interaction of its subjects with state authorities and their officials. This largely depends on the motivation of the competent authorities, since state institutions, especially in the legal and organisational spheres, ensure the development of civil society and form the basis for public participation in governance. The practical significance of the research results lies in the fact that the research presented in the article and the analysis of literature sources provides an idea of the implementation of public control in the public administration system in Ukraine, and also opens up new opportunities for its improvement.

Communication and emotions: the art of distinguishing, processing, and reacting

The notion that emotion and media require more studies is undisputed. Media today are emotion generators: the football World Cup in Qatar, COVID-19 and the pandemic management in the global arena, the war between Russia and Ukraine, the influx of refugees on the Mediterranean coasts that cause tension between the European Union countries, and the latest Climate Change Convention hosted in Egypt (COP27) may fill us with anxiety, fear, and even worries. In addition, the news produced and shared through social media also impacts society, giving rise to primary emotions that, on many occasions, result in a reaction of acceptance, rejection, or even commitment. For example, the president of Ukraine seeks to develop positive feelings—empathy and compassion—on a global level with messages through social networks, such as: “We are grateful to everyone for supporting our values, for believing in Ukraine, and our victory. We feel that the world is supporting Ukraine, and this gives us strength in our struggle.” (@ZelenskyyuA, 5th of November 2022). This exemplifies the colossal variety of emotions presented and distinguished through media platforms and also evoked by its users all around the globe. These examples not only reveal the need to research emotions from an interdisciplinary lens—philosophy, sociology, psychology, anthropology, media, and communication—but also lead us to transcend interpretive barriers related to ethics and objectivity, understand the existing nuances in the new interactions between the media and the audience; where sometimes, the audience ends up being placed in the center of the scene. Returning to emotions, it is important to understand that they are presented as a fundamental component of social reality and they allow us to structure—in a certain sense, order—the world based on the distinction between closeness and distance. In this sense, according to the Communicative Theory of Emotions, we experience emotions when events occur that are important for our goals and plans; they represent events that challenge our primary narratives. On the other hand, collective emotions also play a central role in that process: it is thanks to an emotional distinction of the environment that social realities achieve importance. In other words, emotions configure our cognitive systems and our social interactions. Many emotions concern our relationships, and empathy is central to our experience and understanding. The analysis of emotions in the media also suggests that a variety of mechanisms is necessary to ensure that the standards of objectivity and professional ethics are respected in the media, where not everything that is presented seeks to impact the audience emotionally. For this, fresh and innovative ideas for news production and dissemination through news platforms are necessary as long as they meet the obligations of the press in terms of democracy and take into consideration the well-being of their workers, the journalists. It is too early to predict how the media influence the audience’s emotions because this implies making a cut of a specific period to better understand the environment in which news and reactions occur. Yet one could confidently assume that the existing boundaries of media policies and social and ideological debates across countries are likely to determine the receptivity to specific proposals and suggest a diversity of emotional reactions where, for example, the hate discourse is gaining leadership, and it deserves further research. In addition, the coverage of gender violence is still a topic that deserves more attention in how it is presented in media—victimization, revictimization, victims’ empowerment, and how the readers react to them: empathy, pain, rejection, and disinterest. Time will tell how the media and emotions are taking more space in our lives and how we develop self-awareness about that. I hope readers find this issue useful, inspiring, and challenging in different disciplines and contexts.

ПОРІВНЯЛЬНИЙ АНАЛІЗ ОКРЕМИХ ПОЛОЖЕНЬ ЗАКОНОДАВСТВА ПРО АДМІНІСТРАТИВНУ ПРОЦЕДУРУ УКРАЇНИ ТА ПОЛЬЩІ

The comparative analysis of the separate Law of Ukraine "About administrative procedure" and Code of administrative realization of Republic of Poland provisions is carried out in the article. In particular, the state of the normatively-legal providing of functioning of collective subjects of public administration is analysed in Ukraine and Poland. Accented, that Law of Ukraine is "On administrative procedure", that inures on December, 15, 2023, must put in order procedures of mutual relations, that arise up between a person and organs of public administration in Ukraine. The list of positive innovations that Law of Ukraine must provide "On administrative procedure" with inuring his positions is given. On the basis of the conducted analysis drawn conclusion, that the Ukrainian and Polish model of administrative justice is similar. It is marked that a normatively-legal act about administrative procedure must be detailed and touch all important questions in relation to administrative realization. In addition, a group of norms of this act should be aimed separately at regulating the behavior and activities of collegial subjects of public administration. Attention is drawn to the fact that the essence, types, functions and powers of collegial subjects of public administration are defined rather poorly in the adopted Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure". The main components of the administrative procedures that will be carried out by these entities remain unregulated. Legislative gaps regarding the responsibility of collegial administrative bodies can deepen the problem of their violation of the rights, freedoms and interests of individuals. It is argued that it is necessary to create effective mechanisms at the level of the law, which would ensure clear regulation of the procedural aspect of a person's relations with collegial subjects of public administration. A conclusion was made about the need to delimit the regulation of the scope of powers of collegial administrative bodies and to properly reflect the specifics of their implementation in the legislation of Ukraine on administrative procedure. Ways of improving the norms of substantive law, which regulate the rules of administrative procedures, taking into account the experience of the Republic of Poland in this area, are considered.

Особенности государственно-правового статуса Крыма: история и современность

The aim of the present paper is proving the position that modern development of Crimea as a part of the Russian Federation has deep historical, cultural and civilizational foundations. Having been integrated to Russia at the end of the 18th century, this region became open to the whole world. At the same time, the Russian paradigm of state development was dominant and virtually unconditionally supported by the majority of the population. The Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was formed at the beginning of the 20th century within the established Russian traditions and development. After the Great Patriotic War, Crimea kept its development in the all-Russian cultural course, despite the republic was transmitted into administration of Ukraine in 1954. The transfer of Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954 within the framework of the all-Soviet statehood did not change the established axiology, state and legal priorities of the local population. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the violent ukrainization and westernization caused the rejection by the prevailing majority of Crimeans. The reunification of Crimea with Russia according to the results of the referendum, held on March 16, 2014, is historically justified and complies with the universally recognized principles of democracy, law and universal morality.

National security and defense council of Ukraine: Administrative and legal status

The relevance of the study is due to the counteraction to the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, in particular by the power state body - the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, which has intensified its activities under the leadership of the President of Ukraine as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to repel the enemy and liberate the occupied territories. The purpose of this study is to examine the peculiarities of the administrative and legal status of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and to provide proposals for its improvement, taking into account the peculiarities of martial law in Ukraine. The author used multilevel methods of scientific research, among which the most effective and active were the comparative method and methods of analysis. The author of the study summarizes and confirms the scientific novelty of the topic under study, and also outlines a number of gaps in the legal framework for the administrative and legal status of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. In particular, to establish the procedure for the work of this body, it is proposed to approve the Regulations, which is still relevant. The author proves the expediency of developing and approving a strategically important document in the current circumstances - the concept of countering Russian aggression and expansion (military and otherwise). The author of the study believes that it is the security state body of the country that can initiate a strategy for protecting the security of the world's states, since Ukraine is one of the countries in the world that is currently suffering from the armed aggression of its neighbor. The practical significance of this work and the conclusions drawn by the author are the specific provisions which can be used to improve the efficiency of the activities of the state body under study, especially under martial law, namely: strengthening the defense capability of the State, repulsing the treacherous attack of the enemy, improving the functioning of the presidential power, as well as the executive power as a whole and its branches, especially in the area of ensuring the national security of the State.

Implementation of european legislation on road safety administration in Ukraine

The article examines the implementation of European legislation in the field of road safety management in Ukraine. The authors set the task of investigating the compliance of the provisions of EU law and Ukrainian legislation related to road safety management, audit and assessment, road safety inspection.It has been established that the management of road safety involves 1) conducting a road safety audit, 2) carrying out road safety checks and 3) identifying accident-hazardous places and places of concentration of road traffic accidents and eliminating their causes. It was concluded that the completion of the implementation of the provisions of this Directive 2008/96/EC into national legislation was completed only in 2022 with the adoption of the Procedure for identifying accident-hazardous areas and places of concentration of traffic accidents, approved by the Order of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine dated August 12, 2022 No. 598. At the same time, it is still premature to claim the completion of the formation of the regulatory and legal framework in the relevant field, as there are a number of issues that have not yet been fully settled or are disputed. In particular, the procedure for the implementation of the plan of measures to improve the conditions and organization of roadtraffic has not been regulated, the period of time (3 years) for conducting safety inspections is quite significant, the road safety audit report is mandatory for consideration by the organization that carries out design, construction and operation audit object, however, the procedure for displaying the results of such review is also not regulated. Therefore, it is assumed that theimprovement of the legislation in the direction of the implementation of acquis communautaire requirements will be worked out in the process of law enforcement and reconstruction of highways and road infrastructure of Ukraine in the post-warperiod.
