Russian Federation and Belarus

The Russian attack on Ukraine is a grave breach of international law with no justification whatsoever. There must be serious consequences. By its actions, Russia has turned its back on the international community. For the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) this means that the existing, long-standing cooperation in science and research as well as in vocational education and training is being halted immediately. This also applies accordingly to the cooperation with Belarus.
