Standing with Ukraine
The National and University Library in Zagreb expresses its solidarity with and support for the people of Ukraine. We are especially concerned for the safety and well-being of our colleagues in these difficult circumstances, and we are hereby also voicing our concern for the treasures preserved in libraries and other institutions which bear witness to the nation’s history and identity and are the foundation for its future and development. We strongly support our Ukrainian colleagues, librarians and information specialists striving to preserve their collections, fighting against disinformation and helping the struggle against the aggression.

EADH STATEMENT ON UKRAINE INVASION
In view of the aggression of the Putin regime against Ukraine, the European Association for Digital Humanities condemns this act of brutal disdain for international law and standards of the civilised world. Our Association wishes to express its full solidarity with the Ukrainian nation. We staunchly support the sovereignty of Ukraine. We call on all people of good will around the world to unite in protest against the unwarranted use of force by a nuclear power against its neighbour. In today’s world, “no man is an island” and neither is any country. Europe has already been in similar situations and as scholars and citizens, we must not forget the past. It is our duty as scholars to remember – and to make it quite plain that our protest is not aimed at all Russians. Indeed, we are painfully aware that our colleagues in Russia may be victims rather than willing followers. We call on the international academia in general, and on our digital humanities community in particular, to extend any possible help to our Ukrainian colleagues and the Ukrainian society.

Nordic library associations condemn war in Ukraine
The Nordic library associations resolutely condemn the war Russia has started against Ukraine and stand in
solidarity with the aspiration of the Ukrainian people to live in a free, independent and democratic state of
Ukraine, guided by European fundamental values. We invite all Nordic libraries to stand in solidarity with
the people of Ukraine and to provide with financial donations and moral support.
We urge libraries and their representative organizations to condemn the aggression of the Russian
Federation immediately and to suspend all co-operation with the institutions representing the Russian
Federation. We encourage libraries to spread the right information about the attack and to campaign
strongly against disinformation.
We are committed to continuing to create a comprehensive space of knowledge and culture, free from
false information, lies, hatred and war, and open to all. People with a Russian background living in all
countries need to feel welcome in the library. The action of the Russian Federation is not their fault. Let us
use all the tools at our disposal to win the information war. Libraries mean freedom. Libraries are the
gateway to the future. Libraries are also encouraged to support potential refugees from The Ukraine in
cooperation with state and non-governmental organizations.
Nordic library associations have made a donation to Reporters Without Borders to support their work in
disseminating objective information.
