Photo: Bonnie Kittle/Unsplash - The Australian National University (ANU) strongly condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its fundamental breaches of international law and the UN Charter, on which the rules-based international order is founded. Russia's invasion of Ukraine threatens the peace, freedom and democracy on which freedom of inquiry and academic collaboration is based. The University is therefore suspending all ties and activities with Russian institutions, indefinitely and with immediate effect. We identify with those brave Russian academics and students who oppose President Putin's unprovoked aggression. We stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people in their defence of sovereignty and freedom and offer our support for the universities of Ukraine. ANU acknowledges that this is a very difficult time for our Ukrainian staff and students and for those who have family members, friends and colleagues in Ukraine. We commit to support all those in our community whose lives are affected by this aggression.
