The new fascists of the modern world are killing doctors, but what about the medical and scientific community of russia at this time?

Recent polling data provides the clearest indication of Russian popular support for the war in Ukraine. In the days following the February 24 invasion, Putin’s personal approval rating actually rose to multi-year highs. According to state pollster VTsIOM, his rating jumped six percent in the week ending February 27 to reach 70%. Fellow polling agency FOM recorded a seven percent increase over the same period, bringing approval of Putin to 71%.71%

.While these Kremlin-linked polls suffer from obvious credibility issues, a recent survey carried out by a group of independent research organizations reached strikingly similar conclusions. This nationwide Russian survey was conducted between February 28 and March 3 when the reality of the war was already apparent. It found that around 58 percent of Russians approved of the invasion of Ukraine, while just 23 percent opposed it.

This clearly shows that large part of the Russian nation supports Putin in his open aggression and will to change the political order in Europe. 

What is the role of sanctions and boycott?

The role of economic sanctions is to limit the transfer of technologies to Russia and to affect the economic potential of this country to show that continuation of the war is too expensive. Do sanctions affect Putin and oligarchs – unfortunately only to some extent, and they mostly affect ordinary citizens. 

What is the role of sanctions in research?

It Many helpsnational and international organizations decided to stop any collaboration in research with Russia. For example, they are: …..

This is to stop sharing technologies and knowledge that might be use in criminal military activities, including biological and chemical weapons. But it is also to show disagreement to immoral practices and stand on the side of good and peace. When people are killed we should not stay indifferent, but show the unequivocal position. 

Thus, we urge you to apply the harshest sanctions against the representatives of the aggressor state, which brutally kills innocent people and destroy our country.

We, Ukrainian Ophthalmologist, consider it unacceptable to be in the same organization with the representatives of the aggressor's country. Even if they did not take a direct part in the hostilities, with their silent consent, our people are being killed!

Do you support the boycott (exclusion or freezing) of the ophthalmological representatives of Russia and Belarus from the international ophthalmological societies?

Written with support from:

Ukrainian Vitreoretinal Society

Kyiv Ophthalmological Society

Ukrainian Cataract and Refractive Surgery Society

... And the whole community of ophthalmologists in Ukraine!
