- 'As Europeans, Ukrainians defend not only their country but also Europe as a cultural and axiological community,' - says dr hab. Arkadiusz Modrzejewski, prof. UG. - 'During the debates, we paid attention, among other things, to the necessity of undertaking the fight against the lies propagated in the media by the Russian Federation. I drew attention to the revival of the empire of lies and its consequences for the international community. Scientists must proclaim the truth, including the inconvenient one.'

The participants in the discussion also considered the response of the scientific community to the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
