Ukrainian researchers

Ukraine's National Academy of Sciences has issued a warning against scientific cooperation with Russia, following an attack on the country. The academy is urging Ukrainian researchers to cut institutional ties with Russian counterparts. The appeal underscores how the war continues to divide the international scientific community, with research collaboration with Russia increasingly seen as unacceptable by Ukrainian institutions.

A Russian drone strike on Kyiv has damaged the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, prompting calls to protect science from what critics describe as Russian aggression. Commenters are sharing the New York Times report and framing the attack on a scientific institution as an assault on knowledge itself, amid ongoing strikes on Ukrainian cities during the war.

A Russian drone strike has severely damaged Ukraine's historic National Academy of Sciences building in Kyiv, one of the country's leading scientific institutions. Reports say the attack caused major structural damage to the landmark, which houses research institutes and cultural heritage. The strike has drawn condemnation as another example of Russia targeting Ukrainian civilian and cultural infrastructure.
