Russian scientific researchers and journalists, express here our energetic protest against acts of war launched by the armed forces of our country in the territory of Ukraine. This fatal decision will cause the death of a very large number of people. It undermines the foundations of the collective security system. The responsibility for the triggering of this new war in Europe is fully incumbent upon Russia.
This war has no rational justification. Attempts to manipulate the situation in the Donbass and to use it as a pretext for triggering military operations absolutely no one. It is obvious that Ukraine does not represent any threat to our country. The war against it is unfair and absurd.
Ukraine was and remains a country we are very close. Many of us, who have parents, friends and colleagues researchers. Our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers have combated Nazism together. Trigger a war to satisfy the geopolitical ambitions of the leaders of the Russian Federation, Mus with whimsical and doubtful historical considerations, it is not something other than betray their memory.
The war with Ukraine , it’s a step in nothingness
We respect Ukraine, seeing in it a state based on democratic institutions that work. We understand the European choice of our neighbors. We are convinced that all the problems between our two countries can be solved peacefully.
Trusting the war, Russia has been confined to isolation on the international scene and a destiny of countries Paria. This means that we, the researchers, will no longer be able to do our research normally, as it is true that the advancement of scientific research is unthinkable without in-depth cooperation with colleagues from other countries.
The isolation of Russia in the world will aggravate even more the cultural and technological degradation of our country, while closing all the exit doors. The war with Ukraine, it’s a step in nothingness.
It is pain that we see our country, whose role to slaughter Nazism has been decisive, lightly light a new war on the European continent. We demand the immediate judgment of all the acts of war against Ukraine. We demand respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state. We demand peace for our countries.
