Our Society has some contacts inside Ukraine with Pavel CHERNYSHOV at Bogomolets National Medical University in Kyiv, a long-term representative of his country at the European Task Force on AD (he translated the AD leaflet in Ukrainian and Russian), who at the time of this writing was still teaching his students with the background of sirens and explosions. As most of us in Europe and within his own country, he did not believe that this may happen. But besides shock Pavel understands that a cease fire is not at hand and that it may go worse.
He says that many international colleagues proposed their help during these days. ISAD is considering a grant to help specifically Ukrainian colleagues and their patients who stayed in the country, and most of us in Europe and beyond will help individually families of Ukrainian refugees who come to the clinics in our respective countries.
