The administration and the university community turn to foreign partners calling on thier politicians and governments to help stop Russia's aggression

Dear our  international partners, colleagues, friends!

On February 24, at 5 am, Russia attacked Ukraine and launched a full-scale war against our state. This is an unjustified false and cynical invasion.
Within the sast 10 days, military and other important defense facilities are attacked in all regions of Ukraine, border units in the north, south and east of our country are attacked, our military units and civilians are lost, infrastructure and communications are destroyed.

Ukrainian society is united around this catastrophe and is desperately fighting for the right to be a free and independent nation.

But we desperately need the support of a democratic world community to defeat the aggressor and defend our independence and freedom.

Representing almost 30,000 staff of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine and the Association of Agricultural Higher Education Institutions of Ukraine, I ask you on behalf of the scientific and educational community of your institutions to apply to your governments and politicians to support our country in this crucial future for our country and world democracy time.

Sincerely, hoping for support,
Rector of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine
Stanislav Nikolaenko
