Statement from the NKL network concerning the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine
The invasion of Ukraine is a serious breach of international law. It is also wrong, disrespecting human, animal lives and planetary health. The Navigating Knowledge Landscapes Research Network (NKL-network), headquartered in Europe with members around the globe, strongly condemns the Russian attack on Ukraine and its people. The NKL-network advocates for free speech, democracy, nonviolence, respect and cooperation. We will continue to support these values in the face of wars. We ask Russia to withdraw their forces and stop the invasion of Ukraine and the war immediately. The NKL-network expresses our clear support and solidarity with all institutions, staff and students within the higher education sector in Ukraine, as well as the people and researchers in Russia who oppose the war against Ukraine. We express our solidarity with everyone who advocates for peace, conflict resolution, collaboration, and oppose the act of war in Ukraine, as well as all wars around the planet.
