The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine observed ongoing fighting around Donetsk airport and Shyrokyne despite measures to implement the Minsk agreements. At Donetsk airport, the SMM heard heavy weapons fire and assessed mortar shelling was taking place. In Shyrokyne, the SMM saw damage from fighting including a vehicle hit by a missile. The SMM also facilitated talks between Ukrainian and separatist commanders to discuss a local ceasefire to assess the humanitarian situation in Shyrokyne, including a damaged school.
The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission observed escalating fighting between Ukrainian forces and separatists in the village of Shyrokyne on March 27th, counting over 225 mortar shells fired. The next day, monitors were aggressively halted at a separatist checkpoint at the edge of Shyrokyne and ordered to leave, with the fighter firing warning shots as they departed. Tensions and violence have increased in the village, which has been the scene of ongoing clashes between government and separatist-controlled areas.

The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine reported on the security situation in eastern Ukraine from March 2nd. They observed distant shelling in Donetsk and Luhansk regions and damage from fighting in Shyrokyne. Local officials reported stabilization in Ocheretyne since the February 15th ceasefire, but the JCCC recorded ceasefire violations near Donetsk airport. The LPR claimed weapon withdrawals were complete, but the SMM could not verify this.
The Chief Monitor of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine welcomed the determination of France, Germany, Russia, and Ukraine to fully implement the Minsk agreement without delay. However, he noted that the parties have not provided the necessary information for the mission to effectively verify the withdrawal of heavy weapons, including details on weapon locations and withdrawal routes. Without this information, the mission cannot confirm that heavy weapons have been withdrawn and securely stored. The monitor looks forward to reporting that weapons causing widespread damage have indeed been pulled back from the conflict zone.

The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine observed the evacuation of civilians from the heavily shelled city of Debaltseve. Several hundred civilians, including over 100 children, were able to leave on buses during an agreed temporary eight-hour ceasefire. The Mission also observed military convoys in areas controlled by separatists, and reported explosions in Odessa being investigated as possible bombings.
The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine provided updates from several locations in eastern Ukraine and Dnepropetrovsk. In Donetsk, the Mission observed the release of a Ukrainian Armed Forces captive and damage to Donetsk airport. In Makiivka, the Mission saw an armed convoy of military vehicles. In Sviatohirsk, the Mission spoke to recently arrived internally displaced persons from Debaltseve and Avdiivka who were worried about their future. In Dnepropetrovsk, there were two explosive incidents under vehicles being investigated by police.
The OSCE Chairperson called for an immediate ceasefire and evacuation of civilians from the Debaltsevo area of Eastern Ukraine due to heavy fighting and deteriorating humanitarian conditions. He requested a local temporary truce of at least 3 days to allow evacuation and the resumption of negotiations to secure a sustainable ceasefire and full implementation of the Minsk agreements. The Chairperson recalled that the Trilateral Contact Group is ready to engage in consultations without delay to find a peaceful resolution.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

Build applications with generative AI on Google CloudMárton Kodok
We will explore Vertex AI - Model Garden powered experiences, we are going to learn more about the integration of these generative AI APIs. We are going to see in action what the Gemini family of generative models are for developers to build and deploy AI-driven applications. Vertex AI includes a suite of foundation models, these are referred to as the PaLM and Gemini family of generative ai models, and they come in different versions. We are going to cover how to use via API to: - execute prompts in text and chat - cover multimodal use cases with image prompts. - finetune and distill to improve knowledge domains - run function calls with foundation models to optimize them for specific tasks. At the end of the session, developers will understand how to innovate with generative AI and develop apps using the generative ai industry trends.

1. OSCE Chairperson-in-Office strongly condemns latest surge
in violence and urges all sides to immediately halt use of
force following developments at Donetsk Airport
BELGRADE 18 January 2015
BELGRADE, 18 January 2015 – Following the severe and increased deterioration of the situation
over recent days in the east of Ukraine, in particular at and around Donetsk Airport, the OSCE
Chairperson-in-Office, Serbia’s Foreign Minister Ivica Dačić today strongly condemned the use of
force, expressed his utmost concern and urged all sides in Ukraine to use maximum restraint and
work towards achieving a sustainable ceasefire.
“This cycle of deadly violence and further escalation of hostilities cannot continue. All sides should
refrain from belligerence, intimidation, and provocative actions.”
“I urge all sides involved in the conflict to immediately invest their efforts in de-escalating tensions, to
respect the ceasefire and to proactively engage with the OSCE on achieving full implementation of
the Minsk documents.” All the points of contention need to be addressed by the Trilateral Contact
Group, not on a battleground, stressed Dačić. He also called on all sides to fully respect safety and
security of SMM monitors on the ground.
