162 нобелевских лауреата поддержали украинцев в открытом письме
Весь мир поддерживает Украину. Нобелевские лауреаты в области физики, математики, химии, экономики, миротворства и литературы выразили свою поддержку украинскому народу и Украине перед лицом российской агрессии.
Всего 162 нобелевских лауреата подписали письмо с выражением поддержки Украине, украинскому народу, а также с осуждением действий российской власти. Они сравнили нападение на Украину с нападением нацистской Германии на Польшу в 1939 году и СССР в 1941 году.
«Русское вторжение запятнало международную репутацию этого государства на десятилетие вперед. А развязывание войны, как сделали президент Путин и его приспешники, — это неуверенный, кровавый и непродуктивный путь к будущему», — говорится в обращении.
Оригинальные текст письма:
An open letter from Nobel laureates
The undersigned Nobel laureates voice our support for the Ukrainian people and the free
and independent state of Ukraine as it faces Russian aggression.
In a move that recalls the infamous attack of Nazi Germany on Poland in 1939 (using
similar tricks of feigned provocation) and on the Soviet Union in 1941, the government
of the Russian Federation, led by President Putin, has launched an unprovoked military
aggression — nothing else but a war — against its neighbor, Ukraine. We choose our
words carefully here, for we do not believe the Russian people have a role in this
aggression.
We join in condemning these military actions and President Putin’s essential denial of the
legitimacy of Ukraine’s existence.
There is always a peaceful way to resolve disputes. The Russian invasion blatantly
violates the United Nations Charter, which says “All members shall refrain in their
international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or
political independence of any state.” It ignores the Budapest Memorandum of 1994,
which obligated Russia and others to respect the sovereignty, independence, and existing
borders of Ukraine.
Russia’s security concerns can be addressed within the framework of the UN Charter, the
1975 Helsinki Final Act, and the 1990 Paris Charter. To make war, as President Putin and
his collaborators have done, is an unwarranted, bloody, and unproductive way to a future.
The Russian invasion will stain the international reputation of the Russian state for
decades to come. It will pose barriers to its economy and inflict hardships on its
population. The sanctions imposed will restrict the ease of movement of its talented and
hardworking people in the world. Why raise this fence between Russia and the world
now?
Hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers, Russian soldiers, and Ukrainian civilians, including
children, have died already. It’s so sad, so unnecessary. We gather in this appeal to call
upon the Russian government to stop its invasion of Ukraine and withdraw its military
forces from Ukraine.
We respect the calm and the strength of the Ukrainian people. We are with you. Our
hearts go out to the families and friends of all, Ukrainians and Russians, who have died
and been injured already. May peace come to this piece of our beautiful world.
