Ukraine War Through the Eyes of Czech Reporters
Levíčková, Žaneta ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Just, Petr (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with war reporting from the war in Ukraine and its specifics through the eyes of Czech reporters who were present in the country themselves. The objective is to look at the work of journalists in this armed conflict from their viewpoint because they are the most knowledgeable on the topic and they deal with war reporting long-term and comprehensively. Based on the data obtained, the work aims to clarify what obstacles the reporters encountered during reporting and what caused them. The research - semi-structured in-depth interviews - was analyzed using the grounded theory method. In the form of interviews, the insights of six reporters who reported on the war in the period of February- August 2022 are put into context. At the end of the work, the main obstacles that journalists encountered while reporting on this war are stated, as well as the proposal of possible solutions of how they can be eliminated in the future.

The economic costs of conflict: A case study of the Russo-Ukrainian War
Hamráková, Júlia ; Baxa, Jaromír (advisor) ; Bauer, Michal (referee)
Since 2014, an armed conflict between pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian army in Donbas has been causing damage to the society, infrastructure, and eco- nomics of Ukraine. This thesis deals with the conflict in eastern Ukraine and focuses on its economic impact in the period from 2014 to 2020. Using the syn- thetic control method and the augmented synthetic control method, on a country level we evaluate the economic cost of the conflict in terms of the GDP per capita of Ukraine and Russia. On the regional level, we estimate the impact of the con- flict on the GRP per capita of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Moreover, we look for evidence of spillover effect on neighbouring Dnipropetrovsk region and Kharkiv region in Ukraine and Krasnodar Krai, Belgorod Oblast, and Rostov Oblast in the Russian Federation. While the results indicate a significant gap in GDP per capita of Ukraine attributable to the war, the negative economic effect on the GDP per capita of the Russian Federation after accounting for the price drop of crude oil in 2014 and 2015 is only minor and too insignificant to interpret it with confidence. The findings further suggest a destroying effect of the conflict on GRP per capita of both Luhansk and Donetsk regions. The spillover effect of the war on neighbouring regional...

Destabilization as a means of Russia's foreign policy: the case of Ukraine
Kruglikova, Daniela ; Šír, Jan (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
This thesis deals with the hybrid warfare phenomenon and its development after 2014. It was then that the Russian Federation violated the principles of the international community and, through its actions, contributed to destabilization of Ukraine. Russian-Ukrainian conflict is mostly described as a hybrid war, although there is still no generally accepted consensus on its definition. Part of this one-case study is devoted to presenting an academic debate on this phenomenon which is then used to analyze the war in eastern Ukraine. This paper examines the various means of hybrid warfare used by the Russian Federation towards its western neighbour to destabilize it politicaly, economicaly, security-wise and socially in order to confirm that the Russian hostile activity in the Donbas region in the first phase of the conflict was hybrid warfare.
