A Velocities Data Base (VDB) for GNSS stations located on the territory of the Eastern European Platform (EEP) is being developed at Pulkovo Observatory. More than 70% of the stations belong to Russian GNSS networks. A comparison of the VDB velocities with a similar global database of the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory (NGL, USA) for common stations indicates the absence of systematic discrepancies between them, which made it possible to use the combined data from both databases for geodynamic studies in the EEP region. The kinematic parameters of the rotations of the main structural blocks of the EEP are determined and its deformation field is calculated.
