As we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Revolution of Dignity, remember the Heavenly Hundred, Professor Garaschuk stresses we must not forget that it is russia that has been demolishing the world’s law and order by waging butal war against Ukraine. For the last two years, we all aimed to ensure that Ukraine does not lose this war. Now we must do everything to enable Ukraine to win as quickly as possible. This is the only way to restore the democratic world order and contain the conflict flashpoints worldwide. Freedom is a precondition for a dignified life, and a dignified life along with academic freedom are essential to carry out science. As researchers and as human beings we should do everything we can to continue supporting Ukraine! See the full text here.
