As a result of the Russian attack, two floors of the building of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine were destroyed; two scientists are already known to have been killed. This is reported on the page of the Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language, according to UNN.
Today, Russia is once again striking at the very heart of Ukraine. In central Kyiv, the building of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is ablaze as a result of a Russian attack; two floors have been destroyed. People escaped by climbing out of the windows of the engulfed building, risking being killed in a fall so as not to burn alive. There are currently reports of two scientists killed; contact has been lost with several others, and there are wounded. Information about the victims is being clarified
The page notes that this strike is another reminder that Russian aggression is directed not only against our cities and people. The enemy is trying to destroy Ukrainian science, education, and culture — everything that shapes our national memory and the intellectual foundation of the state.
For centuries, Russia has tried to destroy Ukrainian scholars, erase the Ukrainian language from science, and deny our distinctiveness. Today, it continues to do so with missiles and drones. We must protect people while also preserving what they create: the Ukrainian word, science, culture, and knowledge. Because this, too, is what Ukraine is fighting for today
