We support Ukraine!

ÚFE joins the Czech Academy of Sciences initiative offering assistance to Ukraine. "Scientists cannot remain silent in the face of the war in Europe. We are on the side of respecting human rights, freedoms and democracy. We express our full support to our colleagues in Ukraine and lend a helping hand," says Eva Zažímalová, President of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

The Institute will offer scientific working stays and our employees spontaneously provide financial support to Ukraine through official account of Ukrainian embassy or through charitable and humanitarian organizations, e.g. Charita, Pamět národa – Post Bellum, People in need and others. We consider intensively other ways how to help.

We share message of our colleague from Ukraine:

"… Right now, we are living the hardest times in our lives, especially my family, relatives and people, whose homes are situated in the most dangerous East Ukraine (Kharkiv, Mariupol, Kherson) and capital Kyiv. These 4 days of war showed that my co-citizens are fighting very successfully against Russian occupants. And my friends and brothers are not going to give up, they are fighting with a huge brave and courage, and haven't lost any city, for the moment. Also, I want to highlight the support of Czech Republic government, who presents to be real one of the best friends of Ukraine in current situation, who first starts to apply the strictest sanctions and provides significant military and humanitarian aid. We appreciate it a lot and will not forget. Thank you for your support!"
