Initiative E+

- Constitution of Ukraine, Articles 73, 133–134 — Crimea is defined as an integral part of Ukraine.
🏛️ About
Initiative E+#
Employer of a PIC member participating in the Crimea-recognition methodology
Initiative E+ is documented on CrimeaWatch because its co-founder, Dmytro Stryhun, served on the Public Integrity Council (second composition) — the body whose methodology treats occupied Crimea as equivalent to Russian territory.
Why This Profile Exists#
The co-founder of a civic initiative participates in PIC activities whose methodology treats occupied Ukrainian territory as operating under Russian jurisdiction.
Institutional Participation in the PIC#
Initiative E+ delegated Dmytro Stryhun to the Council’s second composition. His powers ended on 16 January 2020 — after the original Indicators of Integrity were adopted on 11 January 2019, and eleven months before the revised text containing paragraph 1.5 was adopted on 16 December 2020. The organization took part in neither the 2023 nor the 2025 cycle, appearing in neither HQCJ decision.
The Public Integrity Council is not a legal entity with a will of its own: it consists of twenty members placed there by civic organizations, and its Indicators of Integrity are adopted by those members. Participation in forming the Council is therefore a different and stronger relationship than employing someone who serves on it, and it is recorded here separately.
This does not allege that Initiative E+ has made any statement recognizing Crimea as Russian territory, and delegation is not a vote. The delegates vote on the Council’s conclusions; the organization does not. What is documented is the act of participation, established by published state acts and the Council’s own rosters, and the absence of any public objection to the methodology applied.
Response and Corrections#
Initiative E+ may submit a response or a correction request to [email protected]. Submissions are assessed against the underlying sources. Where a statement on this page is shown to be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, the profile is amended and the correction is recorded.
CrimeaWatch does not publish responses verbatim and gives no undertaking to reproduce them. What a verified response changes is the content of this profile.
Summary#
Initiative E+ is documented on this site for its institutional tolerance of Dmytro Stryhun’s participation in the PIC’s Crimea-recognition methodology. The initiative has not publicly addressed how its co-founder’s participation in activities premised on occupied Ukrainian territory operating under Russian jurisdiction fits its own civic mission.
