LMD valdyba pritarė pareiškimui dėl Tarptautinio Matematikų Kongreso (ICM) Sankt Peterburge  ir karinės Rusijos agresijos.
Pareiškimas išsiųstas IMU (International Mathematical Union) ir  EMS (European Mathematical Society)

Position of Lithuanian Mathematical Society
regarding the ICM 2022 and military Russian aggression (2022-02-24)

Information about the International Congress of Mathematicians in Saint Petersburg, Russia, 6–14 July 2022 and invitation to express the solidarity of the national mathematical societies were presented at the meeting of the Board of the Lithuanian Mathematical Society. Board members were briefed on the appeal of Ukrainian mathematicians due to the boycott of this event. Opinions were expressed.

On February 24, the Russian Federation attacked the sovereign republic of Ukraine. This fundamentally changes the situation. We condemn this military aggression and support the people of Ukraine.

In this connection, the Lithuanian Mathematical Society would like to express the opinion that the circumstances of the armed conflict cast doubt on Russia as hosts of the congress, and shares the view of other mathematical societies to cancel this congress.
