<div dir="ltr">Dear friends!<br>
<br>
Let me, on behalf of the World Data Center for Geoinformatics and Sustainable Development team and the Ukrainian scientific community, express gratitude for the words of support expressed in the CODATA Statement on the War in Ukraine and your personal messages
and letters. It is very important for each of us to feel the support of friends and colleagues in this difficult time!<br>
<br>
I'm afraid that you do not quite accurately imagine the scale of what is happening in Ukraine. Russia is waging a full-scale war on the Ukrainian territory. The Russian army has invaded along the entire length of the border between Ukraine and Russia, and is
also attacking from the territory of the Republic of Belarus (the total length of the border is about 3,000 km).<br>
<br>
The Russian army uses aviation, rocket artillery, vacuum and cluster bombs. The Russian army cannot achieve superiority over the Ukrainian military and launches rocket and bomb attacks on civilian targets, killing and injuring civilians. Entire residential
areas of a number of large Ukrainian cities were destroyed, including Kharkov, Sumy, Chernihiv. Constantly carried out rocket attacks on the capital of Ukraine, the city of Kyiv. Many small towns were affected. Tonight, as I am writing this letter, Russian
troops are shelling the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant, Europe's largest nuclear power plant, from tanks, and a fire has already started on the territory of the plant.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
The tragedy of this war has already affected every family in Ukraine. Putin declared denazification as one of the goals of the war, which implies the destruction of Ukrainian culture, traditions and their bearers - i.e. genocide.<br>
<br>
Reliable information about the course of military operations and the basic needs of the defenders of Ukraine is published quite quickly on the website
<a href="https://war.ukraine.ua/" target="_blank">https://war.ukraine.ua/</a> and twitter
<a href="https://twitter.com/StratcomCentre" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/StratcomCentre</a>.<br>
<br>
We are very grateful to the international community for their help. Thanks to the international support of partners from all over the world, the armed forces of Ukraine are now holding back the onslaught of one of the strongest armies in the world. We understand
that Putin will not stop to the conquest of Ukraine. In future plans - to unite under the auspices of Russia all the countries of the Warsaw Pact, which threatens to destroy the fragile balance of global security.<br>
<br>
Therefore, it is now extremely important for all progressive forces to unite and repulse the aggressor in all possible directions. Tough times call for tough decisions. We encourage the international scientific community to express their support for Ukraine
not only in words but also in deeds. In addition to the sanctions imposed by your countries, we ask you to initiate the termination of all forms of cooperation with Russian scientific organizations (including the consideration of applications for new projects,
the termination of funding for existing projects, the temporary exclusion/restriction of participation in the international scientific councils and unions, and etc.). </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">We also urge you to temporarily suspend Russia's membership in CODATA.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">We have many great colleagues in Russia, we know them personally, we know that many of them do not support the government's actions to attack Ukraine. But now we are not talking about individuals. The proposed restrictions should concern institutions.
It so happened that Russian scientific and educational institutions are one of the pillars of the current regime in Russia. Therefore, it is extremely important to send a strong signal to such organizations through the introduction of restrictions.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">With hope for the victory of Ukraine and all progressive forces,<br>
</div>
