** MESSAGE OF SUPPORT REGARDING THE WAR IN UKRAINE

As scientists, devoted to human wellbeing, we abhor the use of military violence to resolve any conflict, be it political or economic, between free independent states. The Russian attack on Ukraine is a flagrant and utterly unacceptable act of violence and we urge all political and economical leaders worldwide to react strongly with any diplomatic or economic measures necessary to stop this senseless invasion.
We are calling upon the Russian Federation and its leaders to end this aggression immediately, and express our undivided solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
