More details Recent developments in Ukraine's science scene highlight both achievements and challenges. Notably, boxer Oleksandr Usyk has earned a PhD in law from Kharkiv National University, demonstrating the diverse talents of Ukrainian individuals. However, the ongoing conflict has taken its toll, with reports of 147 scientists having lost their lives due to Russia's invasion. The destruction of Ukraine's sole Plant Genetic Resources Bank in Kharkiv marks a significant loss in biodiversity preservation efforts. Despite these challenges, strides are being made as Ukraine resumes scientific cooperation with Israel, and Ukrainian Kateryna Pozharska receives an international mathematics award. Meanwhile, the Verkhovna Rada continues prioritizing science, passing a law to boost development. These events underscore the resilience and potential within Ukraine's scientific community.
