Memo To: Victor Yanukovich, Rinat Akmethov CC: Anton Prigordski, Vasily hartzy, Eduard Prutnik From: Paul J. Manafort Tad Devine Re: Messages for anuary: Next Wave of Television and Radio Ads Date: January 3, 2006 The purpose of this Memorandum is to lay out the key messages for January. These messages will be the focus of all of the television, radio and print advertisements, the stump speech of the Leader, the Talking Points provided to the VIP surrogates for their campaigning, the Talking Points distributed to the Regional and District Leadership of the Campaign and all other communication mechanisms used during this month. Themes for January The themes for January will build on the foundations of November and December. We will be reminding the electorate of the failures of the current government and offering our record and plans as the solution. The economic plan and energy crisis solution will be framed around the leadership of Victor Yanukovich and his record of accomplishment is the credibility to make the claim that he knows what to do when he 18 returned to power. In January, we will be moving the campaign into new territory. We will be presenting the framework of a program to get Ukraine moving again. We will do this with the backdrop of the latest crisis, the gas fight between Russia and Ukraine. The fact that Yanukovich has called for renewing the ?Special relationship between Russia and Ukraine? provides the credibility to make the statement that Yanukovich understands the importance of being a good neighbor and how it impacts directly on the interests of the Ukrainian people and is the basis to promise that Ukraine will not have this type of crisis once Yanukovich and the Party of Regions returns to power. We must present this message by stressing that Yanukovich understands that Ukraine should not choose between the bene?ts of the east over the west and that as Prime Minister he will construct a bridge to both, not a one way street. This message will be incorporated into the revised stump speech that the Leader will be giving in his campaign appearances. Also, the VIP surrogates Talking Points need to stress that naivet? of Yushchenko and Tymoshenko to believe that the Government could slap Russia in the face and suffer no consequences. The key connection must be made to the poor judgment of the Government and the disastrous impact not only the Ukrainian economy but directly on the interests of the Ukrainian people. The message will emphasize that Yanukovich 1 case Document 155-1 l?lleG U/IZb/ltj Page 5 OT Pageluar 22b4- will not make such a colossal misjudgment and has the relationships in Russian needed to ?x the problem created by Yushchenko and his team. This Spot focuses on the bridge from Ukraine to the East. The second part of the strategy for January is to unveil the framework of our Economic Plan both in a major speech and in the second television spot. The speech will be a serious policy presentation of what a Yanukovich economic Plan will include and contrast it with the failed policies of the Government over the last 12 months. The television ad will show the cover of the Party of Regions Economic Plan and present the key points of the plan geared to creating good jobs, stabilizing wages and implementing a social policy framework to protect the delivery of social services. The significance of this ad is to create the impression that Yanukovich has a plan and with his experience will bring back stability and prosperity. This spot focuses on the bridge from Ukraine to the West. This message schedule will allow the Party of Regions to maintain the offensive in the campaign. It will remind the electorate of what they are most unhappy about and that there is a need for a change and it will present Victor Yanukovich and the Party of Regions as an acceptable, credible change. The Media Buy Schedule The advertisement program for January should be as follows: January 1 7 Holiday Greetings from Leader 8 - 15 The Ads that ran during the last 10 days of December (TV and Radio) Orange Revolution Leadership 16 - 29 Two New Ads and new Radio spot Gas Economic Plan of Party of Regions 30- Feb New ads to he created 1 case Document 1'05-1 l?lleG U/IZb/ltj Page 4 OT Pagelunr Zbe Exhibit case Document 1135-1 l?lleG Ulle/lt?

And thank you for joining our cause the fight for change - that is the heart and soul of this campaign. On this day, the 7th of February, in the year of our Lord 2010, Ukraine has chosen to embrace a new beginning. On this day, the proud, hardworking, intelligent and caring people of Ukraine came together and spoke - with a resounding voice. You said the time has come for a government that works - and for a government that will put people back to work. You said that part ofbeing free is the freedom to earn a decent living to provide support and sustenance for yourself and your family. You said the time has come for a government that cares about our elderly who need and deserve decent pensions; our children who need and deserve quality schools; our workers who need and deserve health care and jobs. You said the time has come for a government that cares about our poor and our destitute who need and deserve a helping hand. You have spoken, and I have listened. From the beginning of the campaign as I crossed this great nation, I have seen your struggles; I have looked into your eyes and into your hearts; I have heard your call for change and now today, on this day, the world has heard your voice the voice of the people expressed in a free and fair election. Together we will build a new Ukraine, with a government that is worthy of its people, and a future that is bright for hard working people. My goals for the months and years ahead are ambitious but attainable. First, we must restore the economy of Ukraine so our people have jobs. We must restore stability and order in our government and our society, so businesses can grow and prosper and people can live in peace and dignity. We must restore effective leadership, so government begins to works again for people. case Document 1'05-1 l?lleG U/IZb/lb Page OT Pagelunr Zth? And we must restore Ukraine, and give our people and our children the future they deserve. Let me say thank you to the people who came out today in every region of Ukraine to vote for me. Your faith in me and in the team I will assemble to lead the fight for change is a gift we will respect and treasure. We will work everyday to keep your trust. And to Yulia Tymoshenko and all those who supported her, and to my fellow who supported other candidates in the first round of voting and still feel disappointment about their loss, I say we will work hard to earn your support, and we need your help today and in the years ahead to build our nation?s economy and to rebuild the links that bind us a people. Because the greatest achievement of any President would be to unite our country east and west, north, center and south so that the many ties and bonds that can unite us will become the ties and bonds that define us as a nation. In this campaign, I have devised a plan for prosperity and progress. It?s called ?Ukraine for the People?, and the goal is to create jobs, unite our country, and restore hope and stability. In the days and weeks ahead, we will begin to implement that plan, so that we can start to achieve urgently needed progress. We are all Ukrainians first, who love our country and want it to succeed and prosper. Let us resolve that today, on this day, we will begin the journey towards true national unity and purpose. A journey towards a peaceful and prosperous Ukraine that is part ofthe European community and one day part ofthe European Union, and a trusted friend and neighbor to Russia and other countries to the east. A journey towards building a bridge between Russia and the west, that uses our unique geographic, historical, economic and cultural position and ties to foster trade, commerce, peace and mutual respect. That is the journey I intend to lead, and I know that, with God?s help, together we will get there all the regions of Ukraine one nation with one future. We have a chance for a new beginning. Let?s seize the moment, and make the most of precious opportunity. Thank you all, God bless you, and may God bless Ukraine. case Document 155-1 l?lleG U/le/lt?

While Tymoshenko is threatening to challenge this decision, her threats will accomplish nothing other than harm to her political career for not recognizing the result. So, it is with a sense of ?nality (only a sense though) that I say thank you for a fantastic job. This was the best campaign yet. Everyone from Yanukovich to Demeko know that but for the efforts of this team, there would be no celebration. I spent 5 hours with Yanukovich on Election night and he made the point continuously to thank the team. This is not something that he has done much in the past. This time, he de?nitely gets it. While I would have preferred a larger win, we even had the ?nal result projected. In one of our conservative projections we were less than .02 off on Yank and .1 off on Tymo. So the data gathered did its job. As I wind down in Kyiv I want you to know that there is no way I can adequately express my appreciation to you for your efforts. Our campaign was superior to the others in every respect. This is a tribute not just to your abilities but to your commitment.

The strategy is laid out in detail in the July 11, 2010 memorandum. In that document I recommended that our national campaign be built on several strategic components that have wide acceptance with the Ukrainian people. These components should drive our plan, both in themes, messages and advertising. Strategic Assumptions A summary of those strategic components are: l. A majority of voters believe that the Orange have proven that they cannot be effective, they had 5 years of total power and failed to improve the lives of the people. 2. A signi?cant majority of voters have an unfavorable impression of Tymoshenko. She is in danger of being minimized the way Yushchenko was. President Yanukovich is popular in all sections of Ukraine. 4. The job performance of the President is getting strong approval by all segments of Ukraine 5. is viewed as the best party to improve the lives of people at the local levels and this is driving voters attitudes at this point in time. 6. There is a correlation in the minds of the voters of the importance of local of?cials being af?liated with the ruling national government in order to maximize the bene?ts to the local communities. U.) Strategic Framework of Local Elections Campaign Themes The core of the PofR campaign must be a ?throw the incumbents out? campaign in the West and many Central Oblasts. Our surveys show that the electorate views the opposition and their performance when in of?ce as very weak, the incumbency ratings for local elected of?cials are weak, and the strongest sentiment that exists among Ukraine voters is that the opposition had their chance for the past ?ve years, and failed. Ultimately this is less a campaign about bringing in the PofR and more a campaign of ?nishing the iob started in the Presidential election of getting rid the failed opposition that did nothing. base uocument 1135-1 l?lleCl U/le/lti Page 14 OT 22]. 22 lb It is very important for the PofR to focus on the message that o_nly the PofR candidates and local of?ce holders are capable of working with national of?cials on an ?integrated? strategy that will protect jobs and bring new jobs.? This is our competitive advantage and we must constantly stress it. In making this argument, it must be understood that the credibility of this message is not that the PofR has a great track record or brilliant ideas on this issue, but that the opposition has been a miserable failure in dealing with this problem. The point of the argument is to call on the voters to reject those who have had ?ve years to ?x the problems and have failed the Orange. This message has an abbreviated version and a more elaborate one. Shears Message For ?ve years Orange had their time and failed you. They controlled all of the levers of power. Yet they failed to improve the lives of Ukrainians. The change at the national level has brought stability and reform to government. Things are beginning to work again. To move forward, local and national leaders must be able to work together to make the changes necessary to improve the lives and help create jobs. The local elections provide the opportunity to complete the changes. Only the Party of Regions can move us forward. 2. Leng Message Stasemens For ?ve years the opposition controlled the government at the local and national level and not only did they fail to improve the economy, but they destroyed it. They could not work together even when they had control. The Presidential election changed the national level of government, now we must complete the change and elect representatives at the local level who can work with our new national leaders. Since the new government took of?ce, things are beginning to work again. But, to move Ukraine forward and improve people?s lives, we need a government at the local and national level that can work together. Only then can we bring jobs to the local communities and deliver the local services to improve the quality of life for all Ukrainians. We need results and new leaders who will ?ght to protect your jobs, instead of ?ghting with each other. We cannot afford to have a divided government at the local and national levels. base uocument 155-1 l?lleCl U/le/lt? Page lb OT 22]. Pagelun 22 lb The is ready to serve the people in every oblast and make government work for you. Electing the candidates as the local government leader is the best way to create the stability needed to make the changes that will improve your life and get Ukraine back to work. Slogan The recommended slogan is Building a New Ukraine or Building a New Country. This slogan provides the framework to run both a negative campaign (Orange caused problems and failed to deliver) and positive campaign (Complete the power vertical which will allow to deliver services needed to improve lives). Advertising Campaign The advertising campaign should open with a heavy emphasis on the negative message and a light emphasis on the positive message. September should focus on the fact that the national government is turning the country around but the mess created by the failed Orange Government is even worse than originally thought. We need to tie the failures of the past 5 years to the local problems. In September we should stress certain messages in those communities where the Orange held control of the local governments over the past 5 years. The messages should be consistent with the national messages and should be repeated with local emphasis: - The Orange failed to deliver when they had control of the national government and local governments. - Speci?cally, here in things like have gotten worse. - They cannot be expected to deliver now when they are not in power in Kyiv. - The only way to ensure that your local needs are met is to elect a government that can work with the current national government. The main positive message that should be laid down in September, to be elaborated more in October, is that the new government has brought stability to Kyiv and now we need to bring stability to the local governments in order to allow ef?cient and effective delivery of the services needed by the people. Citing a few examples of services delivered in the local communities by the new government, we should create the foundation for what we will promise in October. In October, we will shift the emphasis of the negative and positive messages. The intensity of the balance of the two in October will be driven by what the polls are saying. Thus, the precise closing advertising construction will be determined in mid to late September. Conclusion This memorandum puts in context the national advertising messages and strategy on a calendar basis. Elements of both will be updated as the campaign progresses. case uocument 1135-1 l?lleG U/le/lb Page lb OT 22].

TALKING POINTS - UKRAINE TO: Paul Manafort FROM: Tad Devine SUBJECT: Talking Points DATE: 09/01/2010 AZAROV 0 When our party came to office, Ukraine?s economy was hanging in the balance. 0 For ?ve years Orange held power over the government at the local and national level, and not only did they fail to improve the economy, they practically destroyed it. The Orange left a mess that was unprecedented in scale, and the increases in prices and reduction of services today were caused by their failures in government. 0 The Orange had their time to improve your lives and they failed. 0 How can we expect them to make improvements in people? lives when they are out of national power when they couldn?t do it while they were in power? 0 During Orange control, the value of the plummeted, and unemployment skyrocketed. The change in Government at the national level has brought stability and reform to government, and is bringing stability and reform to Ukraine. 0 Things are beginning to work again, but in order for government to work for everyone it must work well together. 0 That means not only the Rada must work effectively with the President and governmental departments, but also that the local governments must work cooperatively with the national agenda. 0 Instead of ?ghting with one another we need everyone to pull their oars in the same direction. That?s the only way to turn the ship of state around. 0 The best way to accomplish this is to elect people and parties that support President Yanukovych? platform of reform and revitalization. base uocument 155-1 l?lleCl U/le/lt?

But by electing candidates from the we can ensure that the local and national governments will work hand in hand, stand shoulder to shoulder, to pull their oars together in unison, and get Ukraine back on course. The local elections provide the opportunity to complete the changes that we started in the last election. Only the can move us forward because we are the most committed to the real reforms necessary to BuildingA New Ukraine. The last government showed us how government should not work. They thrived on turmoil and encouraged political battles at every turn. Our goal is economic growth achieved through consensus politics. Our political strategy is not to divide and conquer, but to unite and liberate?unite and liberate Ukraine?s people and Ukraine? economy. When I ran for president I made a simple promise that Ukraine would once again be for the people. ?Ukraine For The People? is not just a political slogan? it is a solemn pledge and a concrete program. We are ful?lling the promises we made in the campaign to return the government of Ukraine to the people of Ukraine. Unlike our predecessors, our program is not full of platitudes and empty promises. The is working with the best economists, business leaders, and technocrats to deliver economic growth that is real, implementable, and sustainable. We have relegated the poisonous politics of the past to the dustbin of history. We have turned our back on the discord and division that characterized the years of Orange rule. Instead we have worked to unify our nation and to achieve not just consensus here at home, but consensus across the world that we are on the right path, because to implement base uocument 1135-1 l?lleCl U/le/lti Page OT 22]. 2262 the reforms that are necessary, Ukraine must reach out to other nations, and earn their trust, respect, and support. 0 That is why I have and will continue to travel to other nations, to build the bonds of trust, cooperation and economic endeavor that are critical to rebuilding our broken economy. 0 Since the took of?ce, we have already begun to reach out to the rest of the world, and that trust, respect, and support is quickly being achieved.

Page 4U OT 22]. {El To: Paul Manafort From: Tad Devine RE: Campaign Date: 8/6/2012 The purpose of this note is to follow up on a telephone conversation regarding the Party of Regions campaign. After reviewing the research, I have a number of thoughts about what can be done in the remainder of the campaign. Obviously the situation you face in Ukraine this year is very difficult. Nevertheless, there are some actions that could make a difference, and a more favorable message terrain that I think is available to you in the upcoming Rada elections. Difficulty Feedinq Family The number of people who admit they are having difficulty feeding their family throughout Ukraine today is stunning. This is an issue that needs to be addressed in some meaningful way by the government. If actions can be taken with respect to the cost and availability of food, from price cuts to some form of government assistance (something resembling food stamps) that would make sense given the enormous numbers of individuals who are expressing doubts about whether or not they can feed themselves and their family. The difficulty in obtaining food is likewise reflected in the second most important concern being expressed by voters: controlling rising prices. The fact that those two economic issues score higher than jobs as voter concerns is truly stunning, and the government and the Party of Regions would be well-advised to signal to voters strongly that they hear their concerns on the issue of food costs. Emerqencv Job Plan Similarly, if there is any emergency jobs plan that the government could at least talk about or in some part implement immediately, it would go a long way towards signaling to voters that the government and Party of Regions understand the challenge individuals are facing in terms of their economic situation. The fact that 50% of Ukrainian households are being touched by unemployment is likewise a staggering number that the government would be well advised to address, either through emergency action or through signaling that they understand the situation being faced by people across the country by taking short term action. Strong and Effective Leadership At times like this, it?s important for a government to look towards its political and to signal to people that it is best equipped to deal with the enormous challenges ofjoblessness, hunger, and the general despair being base uocument 155-1 l?lleCl U/le/lt? Page 41 OT 22]. ZSUZ .BMEESSAGE expressed by most people in Ukraine. I would argue for a message that moves towards the strongest ground currently held by the Party of Regions. In reviewing the poll, it seems to me that the dimension of ?providing strong leadership? is the one place where the government consistently scores an advantage over the previous government and the current opposition, and it is a dimension that is believable even if the image of some of the leaders has been eroded in recent months and years. I think a message that says something to this effect is the best possible place for a potentially strong and believable contrast: In troubled times at home and around the world, we need strong and effective leadership to get things done. The proof points for the strong and effective leadership that seem most believable and relevant would be the: 1. Euro 2012 2. Sberbank Depositors 3. Growing Social Payments Those are recent and relevant proof points of the fact that the Party of Regions leaders are strong and effective. But, it is important that a new generation of leaders be presented front and center as the old generation is simply carrying too much political baggage to be effective communicators in this election cycle. This new generation of leaders can cite the recent mantra of achievements - from Euro 2012 to protecting depositors to growing social payments - as proof of the strong and effective leadership the country needs today to deal with its dire economic problems. Attacking the Opposition Finally, I think the attacks on the opposition should be straightforward. First, the opposition is the Orange in disguise. This can be accomplished through advertising like morph ads or by showing Orange leaders and opposition leaders saying the same things about the same issues. Also, it?s important that if strong and effective leadership is adopted as a central positive message, the attacks against the opposition be the mirror opposite: that they are weak and ineffective. This contrast between strong and effective leadership and weak and ineffective leadership should be the heart of the campaign. I would recommend a roughly 3:1 negative to positive ratio in the advertising, but would not move towards a wholly negative campaign since voters have to many options in terms of parties in an election like this and there?s a need even in the TOs and certainly the EOs for some fundamental reassurance about the Party of Regions leaders and their priorities. base uocument lbl?-l l?lleCl U/le/lti Page 42 OT 22]. .MEESSAGE I hope this is helpful.
