As scientists (and citizens) living in a democratic society, we are shocked by the Russian aggression against Ukraine. This is an unprovoked attack against a democratic country, and our feelings and full support are with the Ukrainian people. We are deeply impressed by the courageous people in Russia that raise their voice against their totalitarian regime – like several hundred scientists. The EU in general and Austria in particular has to stand up STRONGLY against this Russian assault – violence must not succeed. #standwithUkraine
